When "fear" squeezes people to find guys and bullies,

We may have learned the Social Contract theory that explains that in ancient times humans were isolated in a state of nature, but with "fear and vulnerability" to danger from beasts, natural disasters, and humans together, humans had to abandon some of their freedom to "unite" to create bargaining power and protect each other.

But this millennial instinct for survival became a "double-edged sword" when it was used in modern organizational structures to form a system of partisans and bullies.

1.The Partisan System: Building Armor Escort from Fear

When humans feel insecure in their job duties, the traditional instinct commands them to look for their own "tribe" or "group." The workplace system is not only a matter of corruption, but often it is about creating a "safe space" for powerful people. They pull their confidants in, not because they are the best, but because they are "most trusted." The fear of being sawed off or betrayed makes humans choose to be with the same people to reduce risk, just as cavemen have to alternately guard with trusted people.

2.Bully: Cutting "people" from the herd.

In anthropology, a bully or exclusion is a tool to organize an ancient society to eliminate individuals who think they may weaken a group or "different" individuals in a workplace context. Bullies often occur when someone is more prominent or like the original group feels that their "stability" is shaken. Bullies are a distorted defense mechanism to oppress others to look inferior and remind them of their own group power.

3. Circuits that destroy the moral system

When fear is the driver, the system immediately distorts:

- People in the group: Will be protected despite wrongdoing (because they are the same)

- Outsiders: Will be wrongly arrested or bullied, undervalued despite how long they have done good to the organization (because they have been judged a threat)

As a result, the organization is not driven by reason or real justice, but by "collective rules" that focus on maintaining group power rather than collective fairness.

Conclusion

We may have left the cave a long time ago, but the instincts "fear" and "weakness" are still embedded in the DNA. The creation of "partisanship" and "bully" is only trying to survive in the same way in the modern world. The solution is to have a "fair rule that needs to be respected together" so that the stability of personnel depends on their ability, not on the authority of anyone or any party.

If today you see people who bully you or others instead of feeling isolated and impaired as they are pressed, look carefully at what they are protecting, what is really "fairness" or "protecting them," what are they doing driven by "courage" or "fear"?
