Bullying in the Movies

Bully scenes frequently show up in movies and TV shows, which most often brings about laughter from the audience and the bystanders.  My caveat is -  I have only seen a few of these movies and when I did, I recall being incredibly bothered by the bully scenes.  I wonder why we find entertainment in this types of behavior.  Does what we watch effect out behavior & desensitize us towards others and/or does it create more awareness? 

 Here is a list of a few movies that have bully scenes
  1. Forrest Gump 
  2. Dumbo 
  3. Ben X 
  4. The Sixth Sense 
  5. Karate Kid 
  6. The Outsiders 
  7. Odd Girl Out 
  8. Mean Girls 
  9. Mean Creek 
  10. Ice Princess 
  11. Just One of the Guys 
  12. My Bodyguard 
  13. Speak 
  14. Hope Floats 
How are you going to take a stand against bullying?

    I think that Hollywood portrays bullying as comedy which sways the audience to find humor in it. I agree that people need to be more aware and try harder to lessen the desensitization of our youth.
