Cultural Beliefs and Biases Cultural beliefs are associated with social standards. These are the attitudes, objects, actions, and qualities that individuals of a particular community share. A community defines itself through social rules. To comprehend why bullying occurs, it is necessary to grasp how societal standards contribute to the problem. Specific social standards have a detrimental impact on life (Beaudoin, 2004). For instance, most cultures consider a beautiful lady flawless, wrinkle-free, thin, or even light-skinned. This type of belief becomes accepted, and a blemished adolescent girl may face bullying at school for being unattractive. As a result of their fear of scorn, many children tend to isolate themselves. Typically, bias is an emotionally sensitive subject, which can result in bullying. Bullying is frequently motivated by identifiable qualities, such as ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or weight. Bullying is most prevalent among male and female adolescents, typically in elementary school. Teenagers who identify as Muslim are more likely to be victimized than those who identify as Catholic, Christian, or another faith, due to their hijab or reputation as terrorists. Adolescents who do not distinguish as heteronormative are also victims of bullying; classmates in the same age range have difficulty accepting their sexual identity as a societal expectation. Bullying is always wrong and can have a detrimental effect on the victim’s mental and physical health. Social Roles Social roles have a critical influence on behavior modification. Individuals prefer to adopt the behaviors associated with a specific role in order to fit in.
