Why would someone want to be friends, on-line or off, with someone who is going to bully them. However, I do agree with the previous posts that educating young people about new new ethical media issues would be beneficial.Dennis DeVivohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483178693320138690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708433796378092981.post-54695509003148722262010-02-28T13:09:48.249-05:002010-02-28T13:09:48.249-05:00In the PBS documentary we watched, I was really im...In the PBS documentary we watched, I was really impressed with the segment that demonstrated another country's schools teaching children online ethics. I forget the country, I think it was South Korea, but I could be wrong. Anyways, these children were extremely young, and were singing a song that described the ethics and morals of the Internet. Additionally, they were taught many things to expect from the web, and how they ought to handle themselves as they grow up with it. These, as noted in the documentary, are taught to them while they become acquainted with computers and other technology.<br />The point is, I think implementing something similar in America would help the issue you bring up. If we start teaching American children at an early age, how to handle the web in the right way, perhaps there will be fewer problems as they age, and as the web becomes ever more so prevalent in our society.Kimberly Engelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992130625260255787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708433796378092981.post-83230888821100216752010-02-28T00:11:37.127-05:002010-02-28T00:11:37.127-05:00You make a good point, that these social media are...You make a good point, that these social media are catapulting the youth into situations which they are not protected. Facebook and Myspace and the whole host of sites contain a risk, but if parents are concerned they need to talk to the children about bullying and so on. In reality, there really isn't much we can do. Social media are created to be personal and sometimes that leads to vulnerable situations in which personal attacks occur.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330467972763338512noreply@blogger.com
