The School Systematically Stop Students Sight in Sites

There is always limitation when accessing a tool like safety precautions however, should a school block certain sites on their internet to prevent students and teachers from accessing them. Like in all conflict there can be an exception, for example the media department has a blog unit in which teacher question students then, student blog about their answers. In one particular case students had to answer to the twitter war. The student doing that blog would have to view a few article for the information however, if one such student tried to access twitter to view the actual tweets that caused the war, they will not be able to access it. People should be productive in school as it determines how well you will live life. These sites are for recreation use and can reduce productivity however it is up to the user to access these as jobs don’t have direct limitations on these sites however, they do have strong consequence like getting fired.
The use should be a teacher matter as students could access it for actual information to drive their points. Teacher would most likely not use it for their recreational use as they have a job and with all job if you get caught fooling around, you can be labelled as an inefficient worker and get fired. In all of this the teacher should have most power over the internet because they work directly with the student to create a good learning environment. Even though the three sites, Instagram, Snapchat and Netflix, are mainly for recreational use they can still be access for knowledge like in different forms of media like movies, or can be used to judge user like Donald Trump. The main change that I want to address is the shift in power as teacher the second main source for student to receive knowledge should be able to control the first main source of information, the internet.

This is no longer about Gender this is about the Internet


The one motto I stand for is that if one wanted to be treated as equal, one must look at all perspectives to truly be an equal. This statement stands even to the social network giant of Twitter and in nowadays Twitter conflicts began to arise. One of which has an article that caught my eye, which is the conflict between Stephanie Guthrie and Gregory Alan Elliott with the article rightly named Wars of the Hashtaggers. After reading the article (http://torontolife.com/city/crime/twitter-gender-war-stephanie-guthrie-vs-gregory-alan-elliot/) I came to a conclusion, I have doubts on humanity. In all seriousness, these precautions did more harm than good. Gregory Alan Elliott lost a lot in the situation even though he had technically won the war. The man lost his job and is now a target to Stephanie Guthrie supports. The general feeling is actual doubt in the situation because it is really unbelievable on people’s actions to create drama. 

The people that are involved in the situation I feel are all wrong as Gregory was put into jail, Stephanie kept this going on to create tensions, and the justice system treated this as a rape. The people in the justice system, lengthen the time of trial to such a long degree that evidence was simply running away. The punishment itself is horrible as Gregory was put into jail before a fair trial came into a resolution. 

I think that actions on the internet can be punishable by law however to a degree as people are very unreliable on the internet thinking that they are protected by a simple screen. For some examples death threats that are highly detailed, actual murder scenes, (because some people can be traumatised after that) and content that is unacceptable because it targets a certain group. However I don’t think that a tweet that disagree with someone is punishable by jail time.
