Why do you think people make fun of others?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) July 30th, 2012

Is it to create levity? Is it innocent? Or is there some more dark motive in play here? If there is more than one purpose, what portion of the time is it which purpose?

When is it appropriate to make fun of someone, and when should you shut up and hold back?

And how are you when people make fun of you? Can you take it? Or do you want it to never happen?
