Is Hazing is good or bad?
Hazing is an extraordinary activity that, when it occurs often enough, becomes perversely ordinary as those who engage in it grow desensitized to its inhumanity. What is the positive and negative effect of hazing to the indibidual who is within a fraternity group.what is hazing in our county, and our country policies and proposed solution and why do we need to continue the policies and action and lasty are areas needs reform and provide suggestions on how these revision accomplish.
Hazing is almost like trying to join a social contract with the brothers in the fraternity. The individuals joining want to be a part of something as a whole and become part of the authority as a brother. According to Locke, explicit consent is required for a social contract. This means that for pledges to enter a social contract they must go through certain activities set by the brotherhood to enter. Locke also states that a contract can be broken if members cease to consent. You can be kicked out of a fraternity for doing something out of the norm of a contract. Joining the social contract of a brotherhood and going through hazing is good thing because it increases accountability, helps create equality between everyone, helps make arrangements predictable, and it is good for regulating friendships.Becoming a part of the social contract of a brotherhood involves hazing. Hazing is not always chugging alcohol and staying up late at night, which is considered what it is by most people. Instead, it involves activities as a pledge class that brings the group together. During times of hazing, one may feel like they have no one to reach out to, except your pledge class brothers. During activities that the group does together, each individual beings to trust one another where it increases the accountability of one another. These activities make individuals learn about each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Everyone always helps each other out when your pledge brother needs it the most. Going through hazing allows pledges to show that they will consent to the social contract of the brotherhood. It is a way to generate initial consent, which is the process into the social contract. When in middle school or high school, it might take all those years to know everything about some of your best friends, but in a pledge class, it only takes a semester to know everything about everyone, which is why hazing and pledge activities are alright because it makes the most out of joining the social contract of a fraternity. Amy Qualls states in an article, “When you haze someone, you see how much they can take, and how loyal they are to the group. Through these “tests” imposed on the new members, cohesion and positive conformity to the group can grow, and bring the group closer together. In joining this activitis there are disadvantages that individual suffer from like, sleep problems including insomnia,difficulty forming relationships or trusting others,decreased self-esteem and self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, self-harming, loss of sense of control and empowerment, feeling more like a victim than they did before the hazing, lower grades and poorer performance in classes, problems in relationships with friends, significant others, and family, host-traumatic stress syndrome (including symptoms of re-experiencing the traumatyic event, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance of reminders of the event, anxiety), loss of interest in being part of organizations, illness or hospitalization because of psychological or physical illness/injury, psychological symptoms may emerge immediately after the hazing event(s), or symptoms may appear later. Those who have a history of trauma may be even more at risk for negative psychological reactions to hazing. The hazing may trigger reactions to previous victimization, which can have devastating consequences for the victim. Unfortunately, someone who has been the victim of hazing is also more likely to haze others on the future. Those students who do the hazing, and those who watch it happen are also at risk for psychological trauma and emotional difficulties as a result of their behavior.

The presence of any person during the hazing is prima facie evidence of participation therein as principal unless he prevented the commission of the acts punishable herein. Any person charged under this provision shall not be entitled to the mitigating circumstance that there was no intention to commit so grave a wrong. This section shall apply to the president, manager, director or other responsible officer of a corporation engaged in hazing as a requirement for employment in the manner provided herein.
