Thoughts on Bullying

Why do people bully? Is it for the great power that they feel after such event is done, or is because they were once bullied and that such person gets a kick out of seeing others in pain. There are many different reasons behind the topic of bullying and why it takes place. I recently had a witnessing experience about 3 weeks ago, me and my friend were at Veterans park, and we saw a guy picking on another kid, the reason for this was that the “bully” got mad at the kid for not passing him the ball enough during a game both individuals had recently played. The “bully” started degrading the kid by calling him names, knocking his water bottle out of his hands, and pushing him around. My friends Hussein, was tired of seeing such event taking place in front of his eyes, my friend stood up to the bully, and asked him to leave the victim alone. The “bully” told my friend, “this is none of your business”, my friend Hussein went on to push the “bully” and both individuals started fighting, my friend Hussein punched the “bully” about 3 times, and that is when I went to break up the fight. The victim applauded us for helping him out and standing up for him. I believe I could have done more in stopping such event, but being caught up in the heat of the moment and had never seen such bullying partake in front of my eyes. After this event has taken course in my life, I now know have a clue of how bullying is taken place, and need to find another ay to solve such events, besides violence. 

My Favorite Movie

            My favorite movie along with the series would have to be the series titled Death Wish, this movie series is based around one man trying to find and kill a string of gang members around his community and murder them, for tormenting and flipping his life around. This man poses as a vigilante in every one of the films. This string of movies would have to be my favorite ones because the films have different scenery in every film. The filmmakers were able to mix in action with a subtlety of Mystery and Suspense. Another reason on why this string of movies caught my attention would have to be, the individual ways in which the vigilante Charles Bronson acts in killing each gang member. The filmmakers do an excellent job in not repeating the same way of killing on each gang member. A third reason in why I like these films would have to be how the vigilante is able to get revenge and seek vengeance on his own rather than from the “help” of the police. While the police are sitting around trying to find the gang members, this vigilante is able to take justice into his own hands.
