Imagine a schoolboy that is relentless verbally and physically abused by a bully. He will cope by convincing himself that in the future, the bully will become a loser and go to jail for assault, and the schoolboy will study hard and become a CEO of a company with a 6 figure salary. Unfortunately, the reality is often the opposite. The schoolboy will fall into depression and never recover, and the bully will climb the corporate ladder due to his aggressive and assertive personality. In fact, being a sociopath is pretty much a requirement for becoming a CEO.

Nobody likes bullies. But apparently, people like bullies enough for bullies to be promoted to managers in the workplace. Despite giving lip service to the anti-bullying cause and giving platitudes to victims of bullying, society values bullies at best, and values the sociopathic nature of bullies at worst. This exact phenomena can be seen in the lifestyles of (male) gangsters and non-gangsters where aggressive and assertive Jules the Gangster has more success with the opposite sex than boring but stable Andrew the Accountant (who in all likelihood, is probably a virgin). The parallel is clear. The aggressive and assertive bully in the workplace is rewarded with a higher income and a higher position. The aggressive and assertive bully in the gang is rewarded with more sex. And of course, like him or not, you've got Donald Trump and the position of the Leader of the USA.

My main assertion for my thesis is as follows: Society as a whole, pays lip service to the anti-bully and anti-bullying cause but in reality, society rewards bullies. Thus, bullying will never be eradicated.
Do you agree with that statement? Why or why not?
Disagree.
Society doesn't pay lip service, individuals do.
Society behaves organically and what comes most naturally. It doesn't care if you're a bully. It rewards people who are capable of providing a service they require.
