Is bullying a form of discipline?

A random thought just occurred to me; you know how animals will correct a member of their pack/herd who is misbehaving by administering a bite or a kick? is it possible that humans bully each other as a way of correcting what we perceive as bad behavior too? and i'm not saying bullying is a good thing by the way, i was just wondering if could stem from an innate instinct to correct other people, or something along those lines. what do you guys think?
