School Shootings
How many more school shootings will it take to put an end to social outcasting?
When will people get it through their thick skulls that the reason behind the school shootings is that. instead of social outcasts who are constantly picked on getting the psychological help that they need, they are picked on all the more and told by school authorities to turn the other cheek instead of punishing the people who thoughtlessly provoke them to such extreme anger and frustration that they snap?
I would suggest that you research this matter deeper before coming to the conclusion that one is “pressured” to “react violently” in school shootings. It also may not be anger or frustration. The fact of the matter is, no one knows at this time, since those that actually did the acts left us only limited “clues” to what actually motivated them to act as they did.
Social outcasting is an interesting description and may describe a small part of the problem and it probably is not the only answer.
If you were to view it internationally and over a longer period of time, you will find that it is and was occuring all over the world for many generations. Much of what we see as killing are and were labeled as “suicides” or “gang related” or “drug related”. It’s only now with the media coverage and apparent frequency of occurance that we are led to think about it more.
If you think globally, what we call “terroists” are very similar to school shootings. Primarily for “economic” reasons and using “religious” (meaning -isms, -ity, etc.) causes as excuses or rationalization, there are those much too jeolous and impatient and without sufficient worldly awareness, knowledge and experience that are willing to “sacrifice themselves and others” for immediate change.
In the USA , Europe and much of the highly develped countries, “idealism” and “free and open thinking” is allowed in schools. That is both a beneficial thing as well as a dangerous one. If idealism allowed to float without the practical foundation (foot on the ground – reality), it can lead to unpredictable action such as shootings, lynching, etc. If it is alowed to be nurtured in the practical world (reality), then we have geniuses that can find cures for cancer.
The frequency of school shootings today may be a reflection of our educational system (not necessarily the subject matter) having lost touch with reality. Most probably a lot can be attributed to social and political “idealism” that has lost touch with reality and a legal system that works on “legality” and not what is “legal” or moral or ethical. (Bascially the attorneys and judges who interpret and force changes based upon “legality” is allowing that to happen.)
So anyone in that kind of environment can be confused… about almost everything…
If you had a thinker (academic) and not a doer (worker, sportsman, etc.) they can easily go to the “extreme”… either way. And it appears from the data given in the news media, that in many of the cases, those students that did commit shootings, were “thinkers”.
So in a sense you are correct… we need to change…. and that is everyone of us… not just schools…
It has to start with our government . That means we must get the “right” politicians in to office and make sure they do “right”. They must not be allowed to “escape” responsibility by quoting “legality”. They must first enforce and make sure every thing is “legal”. The laws we have are fair (too fair for some) and mostly “just” (unless politicians and laweyers have not played “legality” games with it).
We also must empower those that uphold our laws. (Look at France the police get fired at and can’t even fire back. If a group of people regardless of adult or child, fire guns at police officers, they are criminals that have an intent to kill, and can be fired at. Would any one argue with that? Can you see how “legality” has become a problem in France?)
