Abstract	Bullying remains a wretched, pervasive problem in the society, especially for teenagers. Bullying is commonly defined as negative acts that occur repeatedly and involve an imbalance of power (Olweus 413); since this widely accepted definition excludes one-time acts of cruelty, the authors prefer to use the word "conflict" in their conversations about bullying with students. Their unit integrates the teaching of media literacy, classic texts, and the topic of conflict or bullying. "Othello" in particular poses striking parallels to contemporary conflict or bullying. By integrating the study of "Othello" and media literacy, students can critically evaluate the ramifications of failing to talk back to texts and envision other actions and reactions. (Contains 2 figures and 2 notes.) (ERIC).
