The Norwegian Term (for Norwegians who wonder what "Hazing" is)
[edit]Since there is no corresponding article of this phenomenon in Norwegian, there are of course questions asked in the Norwegian society about what this "Hazing" thing might be. After viewing the definition of the term, and examples, I (as a student of Nordic culture and languages) think I know what this article is about. (Note: this is for Norwegian readers of this article, those who know Norwegian language and those who feel interested in Norwegian language and semantics and those Norwegian readers who wonder what "Hazing" is). The Norwegian term is "ilddåp" (literally: "baptism by fire"). This term is used when people do their job or duty for the first time - a sort of "work-related deflowering".

Erroneous Gangstalking described as "Hazing"
[edit]There are a couple of paragraphs near the bottom of "Methods" that make a non-sequitur break from what the article has been describing hazing as.
They describe circumstances more akin to "gangstalking" and persecutory delusions than any other commonly-held notion of what hazing is.
As I don't have an account, and the only action I would have done is just deleting the related gangstalking paragraphs, I thought it'd be better to mention it so you guys could look at it and see if you make a connection there as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.122.32.12 (talk) 06:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is not an original research forum, unless you have reliable sources, "commonly held" is not usable here. Ybllaw (talk) 13:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Extreme Bias (not worthy of Wikipedia)
[edit]This entire article is incredibly biased. It only focuses on the American-style heavy hazing practices and even the definition used in the beginning comes from an organization called "Stophazing". Any arguments in favor are put down by using words like 'supposedly'. The entire article has become a joke and should be rewritten completely. Take an example from the article written in other languages. Tygret (talk) 14:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- There are numerous universities that have anti hazing policies in place and pages on their website about that. Your personal opinion is unfounded. Ybllaw (talk) 13:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
No mention of religion?
[edit]Near the top of the page.. "Hazing is seen in many different types of social groups, including gangs, sports teams, schools, cliques, universities, military units, prisons, fraternities and sororities, and even workplaces in some cases". The Dutch wikipedia's earliest mention of hazing is in monastries. Yet no mention here? Ybllaw (talk) 13:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
