Students’ Perception of Cyber Bullying : A comparative analysis in Sweden and Pakistan
Abstract: The study focuses to extract the factors that contribute towards the prevalence of cyber bullying in Swedish and Pakistani schools considering the female perspective. Besides, the study aims to discover the various reasons and cultural differences in both countries through comparative analysis. The mixed methodology (qualitative as well as quantitative) approach has been opted for the study. The prevalence of cyber bullying in both countries has been analyzed through questionnaires and interviews from teenage school girls. The comparative study of two countries provides the evidence of Cyber bullying; where the occurrence of such events is more apparent in Pakistani culture than in Sweden. The diverse schooling culture, lack of supervision of elders and the absence of anti-bullying programs are the factors that lead to a higher prevalence of bullying in Pakistan than in Sweden. The problem can be reduced with the intervention of a class teacher through his/her open discussion on such topics that can spread awareness among teenagers. Moreover, discussion of serious and dangerous consequences of bullying can be a preventive step.
