through to group bullying, called mobbing, in which the bully may have
one or more "lieutenants" who are willing to assist the primary bully
in their bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is
also referred to as "peer abuse". Robert W. Fuller has analyzed
bullying in the context of rankism. The Swedish-Norwegian researcher
Dan Olweus says bullying occurs when a person is "exposed, repeatedly
and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other
persons", and that negative actions occur "when a person intentionally
inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person, through physical
contact, through words or in other ways". Individual bullying is
usually characterized by a person behaving in a certain way to gain
power over another person.A bullying culture can develop in any
context in which humans interact with each other. This may include
school, family, the workplace, the home, and neighborhoods. The main
platform for bullying in contemporary culture is on social media
websites. In a 2012 study of male adolescent American football
players, "the strongest predictor [of bullying] was the perception of
whether the most influential male in a player's life would approve of
the bullying behavior." Bullying Top Movies & Young Movies
