They are at least attempting to recognize the diversity of perspectives and experiences when they say it isn't black and white. That 2009 research cited also attempts to give a head to diversity of perspectives and experiences.
Yet they still essentially say "we understand your traditions or team-building exercises...but you're in denial. It is still hazing. PERIOD."
There is tremendous subjectivity in that website saying
"HAZING is any action taken or any situation created intentionally that causes embarrassment, harassment or ridicule and risks emotional and/or physical harm to members of a group or team...."
As for this:
If you’re not sure whether or not something happening to you or to someone else is hazing, ask yourself these questions:- Would I feel comfortable participating in this activity if my parents were watching?
- Would we get in trouble if a school/college administrator walked by and saw us?
- Am I being asked to keep these activities a secret?
- Am I doing anything illegal?
- Does participation in this activity violate my values or those of this organization?
- Is this causing emotional or physical distress or stress to myself or to others?
- Am I going to be able to get a job if I have to put a criminal arrest on my application?
The items that I
bolded are extremely up for discussion and debate.
