This week we continue our discussion of technology, focusing on the internet and debate topics about bullying in the digital age.
It is unfortunate that many teenagers and kids feel like they have no where to turn.
One interesting question for debate this week was
"Who should be held accountable for cyberbullying?"
All of the students (for obvious reasons) blamed the bully themselves; however, I tend to believe that bullies are also a product of our society. We allow bullies to be bullies. There is not enough repercussions for this type of behavior; in fact, most negative behaviors online probably get some sort of positive reinforcement (whether it is from an increased amount of likes, or forwards).
