Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Intentional torts in healthcare refer to deliberate actions that cause harm or infringe on the rights of others. Understanding these torts is crucial for healthcare professionals to avoid legal liabilities and maintain ethical standards in patient care.

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

1.6K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.2K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Criminology
  • Security Studies

Background:

  • Educational institutions are vulnerable targets for terrorist attacks, often lacking adequate security.
  • Attacks on students and children have severe, long-lasting psychosocial impacts and media implications.
  • This study examines terrorism targeting educational facilities globally from 1970-2019.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct an epidemiological examination of terrorism-related events targeting educational institutions.
  • To analyze trends, geographical distribution, and attack types from 1970-2019.
  • To inform security and preparedness strategies for educational facilities.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective data collection using the Global Terrorism Database (GTD).
  • Searched GTD for events from January 1, 1970, to December 31, 2019.
  • Classified events by primary target type ('Educational institutions'), country, and attack type as pre-determined by GTD.

Main Results:

  • 4,520 attacks on educational institutions resulted in 3,732 deaths and 9,920 wounded.
  • Attacks peaked in 2014, showing a subsequent downtrend; Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Iraq reported the most events.
  • Bombings/explosions were the most frequent attack type; teachers and staff were also targeted.

Conclusions:

  • Terrorist attacks on educational institutions, while rare, represent a significant threat.
  • South Asia accounted for the highest proportion of attacks (41.2%), followed by the Middle East and North Africa.
  • Educational institutions globally need to assess risks and implement robust security, preparedness, and recovery plans.
