The developing human brain and bullying
Monday, November 29th, 2010
At WBI we use physical sciences to complement the “softer” social science research. It is useful to convince all opponents (the courts when involved in legal cases, business lobbyists fighting our anti-bullying Healthy Workplace Bill, and executives who believe they would be sissies if they stopped bullying in their organizations) that there is a physiological basis to the injuries suffered by bullied targets. A tip of the hat to David Yamada for catching the Boston Globe science writer’s recent coverage of relevant research. Emily Anthes wrote about the impact of being bullied as a child on the developing human brain. Dr. Gabor Maté, appearing on Democracy Now! Nov. 24 spoke about how the bully’s brain may develop in abnormal ways.

Corporations are people who can be very twisted
Friday, February 5th, 2010
You know how the post 9/11 world is supposedly so different from the 9/10/2001 world? Well, America changed after 1/21 based on the US Supreme Court decision granting corporations person status. Here’s some twisted logic: A. Corporations are people. B. Corporations enjoy unchallengeable control over individual, non-unionized workers (now 92.8% of American non-government employees). C. Corporations can act without remorse or accountability — they can be psychopaths.
