15:16 "First of all, the military exists." Guys, this was not me saying hazing is okay because it's done in the military. I was saying that the training people go through in the military could be considered relentless teasing and abuse. They are shouted at by drill sergeants and put through lots of mentally and physically stressful situations, sometimes literally conditioning their minds and bodies to take abuse because they could experience it in the actual field. So yes, there exists an environment where people are rejected if they can't endure in this manner.

Yep! After going through recruit training on PI I can say your spot on. They break you down and build you up to be the best you can be before going to ITB and your MOS school. Some people say it's hazing, and in some cases it's true, but the training is ment to be tough.

additive and subtractive reinforcement additive and subtractive punishment I was taught it that way because people usually assume positive and negative are describing something as "good" or "bad" when the terms are meant to represent adding or removing a stimulus or a condition. As well as differentiating between punishment and reinforcement. Punishment meant to cease an undesired response and reinforcement to encourage a desired response.

again, it's a misnomer to believe that "positive" or "negative" have anything to do with the type of stimulus. For example, a spanking is technically positive punishment. You are adding a stimulus to discourage a behavior Giving a time out would be an example of negative punishment, you are removing a stimulus (like playtime etc.) to discourage a behavior. Giving a gold star or some other kind of token reward system is positive reinforcement, adding a stimulus to encourage a behavior. Negative Reinforcement is a bit trickier to explain. Remove a stimulus to encourage a behavior. Something similar to early parole for good behavior. Physically hurting someone could be part of positive punishment or positive reinforcement depending on the context.

I really like this episode because it touches on a serious debate about whether sororities/fraternities are a good or bad thing. Personally, I’m against them simply because of the nature. How many parents would be okay with learning that their child had been subjected to being locked in the closet or being malnourished by others? Let’s not forget the many individuals who have died from hazing incidents. It’s one thing that the military subjects you to dire circumstances because they’re building you into a soldier. But a sorority/fraternity is supposed to promote brotherhood/sisterhood in a healthy way. It’s supposed to be a safe and welcoming environment where people can come together and share a positive outlook and help one another succeed. What those girls were doing to Luanne is nothing more than abuse. And people wonder why we have a mental health crisis in our country.

Hazing is, or was, common among sororities, the military, fraternities, sports teams, and even scouts. Hazing is meant to be a team bonding experience through shared struggle or hardship. Though what people consider "hazing" changed along the way, and then even more so with its downright criminal and malicious portrayal in popular media. In a similiar way to how "pranks" have changed in the public zeitgeist from harmless jokes played on another to... things that you get shot for. 😒

No, surviving negative experiences doesn't build character, it breaks character. If someone can recover and become a better person it wasn't the painful experience that made them better it's that they had the willpower or support system to take a lesson from it and improve. Painful or torturous experiences are as likely to leave someone less than when they started and even if they recover they may be missing a piece of themselves or carry trauma that hurts them. "character building" can be useful when it has a point but hurting someone then saying "it builds character" as a defence for abuse has always felt wrong to me. While I haven't been crippled by such experiences much I have been through so called "character building experiences" and come out hurting and weakened and not able to build myself back up to where I was before that for ages, sometimes years where I was a weaker, lesser and more fragile person than before and even when I recovered I still felt a piece of myself missing.

Yeah, and the whole "first of all, the military exists" point Shady makes is also ironic because second of all, PTSD is a damn thing in the military too. Especially when, in America, a great deal of war-experienced veterans don't exactly have the exceptional support system they should be having, mental health for one, when readjusting into civilian life. If they don't just simply get hazed when they're entering the military to be the invulnerable warriors they're conditioned to be, then they're hazed by their off-duty military contemporaries for being giant pussies for not coping upon returning to a normal life*. I seem to recall there (was) a sizable number people who subscribe to a certain political figure's rhetoric that they don't believe in supporting "losers" in the military after all.

@@OKeijiDragon The PTSD among veterans does not in fact disprove Shady's point. Really you are outright insulting those people to compare the experiences they went through to being hazed by a drill surgernt. You just basically used people who were traumatized by things like isolation and seeing their comrades die to say being yelled at is bad. Get the f*ck out of here.

Fraternities and Sororities can be dangerous in their own way. There have been past incidents of hazing, alcohol abuse, deaths, etc. Although Luanne is an adult, one would think Hank and Peggy would want Luanne to concentrate on studies.

I think this episode does a great job at showing how a cult (or any kind of ill-intentioned gathering like gangs or religious groups) can swoop in when you're vulnerable and at a low point. Lisa-Jane noticed Luanne drinking alone and immediately tried playing to her fresh wounds by sweet-talking her with "compliments" (if that's really considered a compliment) and then offered her a position at their sorority because Luanne wanted to feel like she belonged somewhere.

@@radagast7200 It's kiiiiinda like that? I think love-bombing is (if you can believe it) even more over-the-top than just sweet-talking someone. Love-bombing is more like when you overly shower someone with affection after doing something wrong. This is more on the side of just manipulation.

If surviving anything builds character, then let the hazers build character too, not just their victims. "But the hazers already got hazed at some point." So what, wouldn't enduring it all together forge stronger bonds? Is there some sort of risk of building too much character? I for one would never trust anyone with the mindset that having been tormented means it's their turn to do it to someone else.

Im not sure if i agree with the statement of successfully surviving any negative experience builds character. That is a rather absolute statement and I am certain that there are certain things that someone can 'Successfully" survive from that leave people more scared and broken. People can move past them and be ok, but I don't think that every negative thing you can walk away from makes you a better person. Though I guess that comes down to what someone considers successfully surviving a situation.
