Applying theories of 'post-emotionalism' to the issue of 'the bully' as a social type, Mestrovic argues that while modern society likes to present itself as morally superior, it still contains strong 'barbarian' elements. Case studies focus on bullying and hazing, examined by the case of an American solider who committed suicide in Afghanistan, torture at Abu Ghraib, and the murder of a 23-year-old African-American inmate in a Southern state prison in the US.
