1. What does the film The Sensei teach us about bullying? What solutions does it offer?
ReplyDeleteThe film “The Sensei” highlights the horrible abuse suffered by a young homosexual teenager. This teaches us that the victims of bully are in great need to supportive society to bounce back to their confidence again. In the film, Karen stood up for McClain and in addition, she gave martial arts lessons to him for self-defense. This meant a lot to McClain and helped him gain self-assurance again.
2. What did you learn on the Teens Against Bullying website?
From the website, I read that we can’t call somebody “Bully” with the appearance. It is not the cover that defines the bully but the behavior. Moreover, in the bullying situation, responses from bystanders can have a big impact on the situation too.
3. What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
Our school has to be a supportive society for whoever getting bullied and educates students to be aware of possible bullying situations around them. If we all take responsibilities, our school can be no bullying zone.

There are too many causes to take place bullying whatever you are a kid or adult. They bully someone with words or physicals. These damages bring a lot of harms for the people who is bullied. In short, many people bully someone because they are lonely and want people to pay attention to them. They have mental problems and actually,they are more poorer than the people whom they bully. so that they chose this kind way that people can notice them.
What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
People need strength to protect themselves and others people whom they care about. We can’t ignore that matter that happen in front of us so that we should stand out ,or it will be more serious than before. Whatever who you are, you should adjust yourself wills and troubles and try to find a person to share your sadness and happiness, therefore, they are satisfied and don’t have to bully people and people don’t have to be bullied by others people. Both wins is best.
Yes, I like the fact that you pointed out from the perspective of the bullies. The main cause of bullying is that they are isolated from their societies and want to be get attention.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the movie Sensei, bullying can be very harmful, make others feel very inferior, not worthy of anything, it can even make that person willing to kill him/herself. In term of solutions, one that is being bullied can have the option to learn how to defend him/herself against whom that bully.
2.What did you learn on the Teens Against Bullying website?
That website is a very good website, it shows that teens are motivated to put an end to bullying, they also bring many points and aspect of bullying issues. For example people usually say that words will never hurt you but this is what teens from the website said:
‘’Studies have shown even
though words don’t leave bruises or broken bones, they may leave deep emotional scars that can have lifelong implications. Children learn at a very early age that words can hurt other children.’’ This is very true, word is about everything and this is what i say, internal pain can be more unbearable than physical pain.
3.What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
Well, from these two resources, one lesson that i take is that, you should never try to make people feel bad about themselves.Also bullying is a very dreadful arm against human nature and can motivate people to change in either way.

DeleteWhat does the film The Sensei teach us about bullying? What solutions does it offer?
ReplyDelete“The Sensei” film is really meaningful and the movie contains many components that we can learn about bullying. In that movie, the main character is a guy who is rejected and isolated from the community, just because he is gay, it does not mean that he has to be outcasted from the community. It absolutely is an abuse of his human rights. There is a scene when he gets bullied by his schoolmates. He receives relentless blows from them and he almost dies. In my opinion, this movie does not only emphasize a danger of bullying, however, it also offers the the solution to prevent bullying, which is, to speak up and stand against bullying whenever you have chance to do so.
What did you learn on the Teens Against Bullying website?
I did learn that bully is really pervasive and perilous. Bully can kill one’s personality as well as self-esteem. Bullying happens everywhere, I personally think that it is not even worth bullying others thinking to get more fame. On the contrary, they are poisoning their own fame in the community. However, a way to prevent bullying is to stand and speak against bullying.
What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
First of all, I am so grateful that I am placed in a school that is safe and having securities that are reliable. I personally haven’t seen any bullying happened in school. However, like what the movie and the website show, bullying can happen at anytime and anywhere, we still have stay alert and be ready to stand and speak up against bullying.
What does the film The Sensei teach us about bullying? What solutions does it offer?
ReplyDeleteIn the movie “The Sensei” the morale was to fight against bullying. Just because McClain was homosexual he was bullied and harassed by everyone and also segregated everywhere. People hated him. But His sensei Karen thought slightly different. She stood up against the society and taught him self defence to fight for his right.
What did you learn on the Teens Against Bullying website?
As we see bullying is happening to many of the teenagers in high schools and the step to stop it begins with us, each individual. Bullying will decrease sooner or later but it depends on how fast we react on these issues.
What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
Don’t judge someone on their look or just their first meet. People have different views about life and everyone lives with their own views. In school we have to be friendly to new students and stop someone who bullies other students or take any small steps that we can to help create a better environment.
I totally agree with you, and i think that is how bullying start when we start judging people by their looks then you want to make them feel bad about themselves and you start bullying them.

-What does the film The Sensei teach us about bullying? What solutions does it offer?
ReplyDeleteThe film Sensei teach us how the the victim get affected and how a whole small community could reject him. Instead that people are helping you, they are against you and don’t want to be next to you. this is the opposite of what should be happening. The people should have support him and the against the boys that bully so they could get punish. It offer how just one people can make a change in one life by teaching him how to defend himself. The Sensei saved him by teaching him to fight and by rescuing him because if she didn’t then he would have been dead.
-What did you learn on the Teens Against Bullying website?
I learn that people could comment why they care and also their experiences or thoughts. That is pretty cool but at the same time bad because you are reading the pain of the victim who are only 12, 13 years old. I was surprised that it doesnt matter of how old you are that you can still be a victim.
-What lessons can you take from these two resources to use here at school?
Whenever you see someone get bullied and don’t want to be involve in the fights or arguments just go tell a teacher or supervisor that could take it in charge. Also, Never be afraid to stand up because someone’s life might depend on you. If you see something, say something.
at school?
ReplyDeleteThe Sensei teach us about defend ourselves when we are build. There are many solutions, I think the most important one is that we have to face our problems, because if we won’t face it we are going to be bullying all life.
I learned that we should have respect for all. Even though person is bullying us, we should respect in that person in a way. Also we have to always face our problems.
We can’t never stand outside. If you see something, say something. If we see person that is bullying by others we should stand up and help her/him. We never know what can happen later to us. We can need help also.
The film sensei taught me that bullying someone based on their sexual orientation is wrong. We are all human beings free to love whoever we want. We have our rights. From now on I will not be a bystander and help people who gets bullied and give them courage to not give up.
