School uniforms kills soft violence (11.3)

The emergence of school uniforms is stifling school violence when students are compared with each other.

The existence of violence in the form of “soft violence” and “hard violence” in two forms. In the campus of the soft violence is mainly through the isolation, disregard, exclusion and other acts to make some students have long been marginalized, can`t be integrated into the class, much left out in the cold. This type of violence so that the victims of the students can`t be normal socialization, prone to inferiority complex, the students and all around the hostile psychology, breeding violence [1]. When students compare clothes by price and style, students who wear cheap clothes or those who are not fashionable enough will have a psychological inferiority complex. And the expensive and trendy dressing students will form a group, which isolates and excludes students who are not better than this group. This can easily lead to school violence. Therefore, the emergence of school uniforms is an act of restraining “soft violence” in the school.

The violence of the campus forms according to the different motives of the perpetrators can be divided into: retaliation, the jealous type, let out his hatred and play abuse. Violence revenge type with a clear point, is not random, which is caused by the perpetrators and the victims of previous behavior; the jealous type is on the other side of discontent, hatred and other emotions, lead to the victims of violence and hostility to her; plus victims because of frustration not self resolve mental state formed by the transfer of hatred to the victim’s body, and the implementation of violence; the perpetrators and victims are playful and not too much hatred, they use violence just in front of the victim showed a strong and authoritative attitude, and through the weak smile at the show a painful and helpless, because of the violence they enjoy the thrill and excitement[2]. Sometimes, the prices and styles of clothes make students form two opposing aspects. On both sides of the clothing comparison, some students who are inferior to others will have jealousy and vengeance, and then vent their emotions, and retaliate against students who wear trendy and expensive clothes. It is also possible that on the contrary, students who are dressed in a dominant way will bully students who are not as well dressed as themselves.
