Bullies Among Us: From Childhood to the World Stage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295657061)

By Carmen Galloway

The Evolution of Cruelty: From Schoolyards to Seats of Power

Are bullies merely a childhood rite of passage-or are they the architects of our modern world?

In this timely and provocative exploration, author Carmen Galloway reveals how bullying has metastasized from a playground nuisance into a global social crisis. Bullies Among Us unpacks a chilling reality: emotional abuse, intimidation, and manipulation are no longer just tolerated; in the digital age, they are often celebrated.

From the vitriol of cyberbullying and cancel culture to the suffocating atmosphere of toxic workplaces, Galloway traces the trajectory of harm. By analyzing high-profile figures and tectonic cultural shifts-including the rhetoric of Donald Trump, the divisiveness of Brexit, and the polarizing media storm surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle-this book demonstrates how bullying can destabilize nations, silence dissent, and distort the very fabric of public discourse.
