ResponderEliminar1.A United Nations report says about half of students aged 13 to 15 worldwide have experienced some form of violence in school. This number represents about 150 million students from around the world. About one in three students reported they had experienced bullying at school. In industrialized nations, 17 million students aged 13 through 19 admitted to bullying others at school.
2.The report said studies have shown that boys are generally more likely to experience bullying that includes physical violence or threats. Girls are more likely to be victims of “psychological or relational” forms of bullying. This can involve spreading false information about people or shutting them out of social groups, the report said. The study found about one-third of students aged 13 to 15 reported being involved in physical fights. Data from 25 countries showed that 20 percent of girls and 50 percent of boys reported physical attacks by other students at least once during the past year.
3.The report estimates that about 158 million young people live in conflict-affected areas. For these students, classrooms can be no safer than the communities they live in. The report said school shootings have also become a major form of violence in many areas.
Similarities
In both environments, violence cause a great damage in people’s mental health.
The performance is affected by the amount of violence people face.
It is necessary to implement policies of tolerance, respect and punishment for misbehavior in both places.
Differences
At work, adult people are not as vulnerable as children in their schools are.
It is easier to eradicate violence through education in schools.
Work policies, norms and laws can punish violence at work places.
4. Some companies have incorporated ethics training for all their employees, right from those working at the junior level to the CEO of the company. This helps promote the understanding of what ethics are how they can benefit the company in the long run. Many companies design their own ethics' training programs, which offer practical solutions to employees facing ethical dilemmas. Also many companies said that any kind of misconduct can be immediately reported to the right person in the organization. Finally the organizations offer a 'feel-good' environment, because the Instances of misconduct get minimized and the overall satisfaction of the employees increases
5. In our opinion bullying is a difficult situation that happened around the world. We can talk about the different forms of bullying: physical, psychological, verbal, sexual, and social. As a society we need to work hard to defend all the students who suffer bullying; also we need to know that everyone can suffer that and it is important to help them. This is important because there are many consequences like, low-self-esteem, Emotional Disorders, depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. We think that some solutions for that problem are sensitize and raise awareness, emotional education and values, family communication, report anonymously and psychological therapy.

What is your opinion of what is expressed in the article? Please give the opinion of both.
It is very important to understand terms related to the area in which you work because a good communication is fundamental to all professionals. It would be difficult to communicate in the workplace if you do not manage all related terms. In addition, to give instructions is necessary to be clear using the right words. Current English courses do not teach all those words and they are not used in a common conversation. It is better to be prepared reviewing those terms.
Well done!
