Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Answers should include the following points:
1) Physiological arousal tends to dissipate slowly.
2) In at least some instances, an event will cause an increase in arousal that will persist beyond the situation that caused it.
3) There may be some residual physical arousal still present when another event occurs.
4) If the arousal is recognized, but the reason for the arousal is not, the individual may misattribute the cause of the arousal to the current situation.
5) This misattribution, combined with heightened arousal, intensifies the anger one might experience in the new situation.
6) As a result, the individual's response to the new situation may be out of proportion to the situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
All parties involved must see bullying as a serious problem. Second, people with authority must draw attention to it and take a stand against it. Third, potential victims must be provided with a direct means of dealing with bullying and know what to do and who to see when they are bullied. Finally, outside help is often useful in identifying the cause and devising appropriate programs to protect against bullying.
