Question 80

According to Discrimination Prevention Policy Handbook, It is important to understand why hazing activities are not acceptable in the workplace, the following are reason EXCEPT

a. Hazing is a societal problem. Hazing incidents have been frequently
documented in the military, athletic teams, fraternities and sororities, marching
bands, religious cults, professional societies and other types of clubs and/or
organizations. Incidents of hazing in high school and college campuses have
also been reported. Thus, hazing is not an isolated problem
b. Hazing is an act of power and control over others. It is premeditated
victimization and NOT accidental. Hazing is abusive, degrading and often life-
threatening. Acts of hazing are not just foolish pranks that sometimes go
wrong
c. Even if there is no malicious “intent” safety may still be a factor in traditional
activities that are considered to be “all in good fun.” Serious accidents have
occurred during hazing incidents. Acts of hazing do not promote the growth
and development of work units. Hazing is not acceptable even if there is no
malicious intent and the involved parties are willing participants in the activity
d. Hazing is not an effective way to teach respect and develop discipline. Respect
must be earned, not taught. Victims of hazing rarely have respect for those
who have hazed them. Just like other forms of victimization, hazing breeds
mistrust, apathy, and alienation.
