Bullying can have tremendously delitrious effects on the workplace or any other enviroment for that matter to include school and home. As mentioned by WilliamS it cost him his job and the 13 year girl her life. On a broader scale it can stifle creativity, prevent unethical and even criminal behavior from being reported, cause accidents, destroy morale, and prevent those best qualified from reaching their potential. It is seen in various froms such as sexual harassment in William's case, verbally abusive supervisors, children fear going to school, low production, publicly rude behavior and treating people as objects and not as human beings with hopes, dreams, and feelings and it destroys the soul of the bully. Some of the biggest bullies in history were Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Stalin. The impact bullying has on society is still under appreciated, but its effects are devastating to the individual and society.
