Define ostracism. How are social and physical ostracism similar - both biologically and culturally? Can you make a connection to social-isolation bullying from the reading? How might this lead to school violence?

Ostacism is the deliberate social exclusion of individuals or groups.

Explanation:

An example of Ostracism would be someon, who recently had an argument with a friend over the phone; lets use Alexia and Sofia. Alexia completely disagrees with the the statements made by Sofia; thus, Sofia does not change her mind. Therefore, Alexia runs to all of her friends and tells off her friends to ignore and not talk to her at lunch.
