Online Persona

            The internet over the last few has taken over some people’s lives destroying and creating
opportunities in some cases. The PDF we were assigned to read about online
personas and what can go wrong if not taken care of was ridiculous. There were
points made that support the idea of keeping the children’s eyes clean of the
wrong, but there were also insane accusations made.

When the teacher is accused of displaying a bad self-image on to the kids, well it’s a
little much. She is an adult over 21 with a pirate hat on at what looks like a
party having a drink. The only thing that should have been an issue with this
whole ordeal was whether or not her performance with the kids was unimpressive.
Not until later in the accusation do the administration point out that her
teaching ability with the kids was poor. There is a fine line between
suspending someone from pursuing a career and completely destroying any
opportunity of ever getting the chance to show what she really can do.

The rest of the stories are up there but not quite the same. The track team was clearly
drinking and some of them were reportedly underage which as we all know is
against the law. Nevertheless drinking for a track team is not good
advertisement for a school in the first place but college students are going to
party, some may not, but there will always the people that do.

To me it’s sad to see people this concerned with other folks business. We need to focus on
the other aspects of it more such as the health issues that come along with
drinking. As long as I can remember people don’t turn into murderers from being
at a party and having a drink.
