What Are Facing Consequences

The article “Youthful Indiscretions: Should Colleges Protect Social Network Users from Themselves and Others?” is written by Dana L. Fleming and appears in the winter 2008 issue of the New England Journal of Higher Education. Fleming’s objective with this article is to show college students the dangers of social networking sites, and at the same time she is advising parents on the social networking world.

Higher education law attorney Dana L. Fleming voices her controversial opinion in favor of institutionalized involvement in social network protection in her article “Youthful Indiscretions: Should Colleges Protect Social Network Users from Themselves and Others?” (Fleming). Posted in the New England Journal of Higher Education, winter of 2008 issue, Fleming poses the question of responsibility in monitoring students’ online social networking activities. With a growing population of students registering on social networks like Facebook and MySpace, she introduces the concern of safety by saying, “like lawmakers, college administrators have not yet determined how to handle the unique issues posed by the public display of their students’

Facebook is a well know social networking site that has taken all over the world with over 500 million people using the site. Social networking sites such as Facebook share information about the user over the Internet, where it can be freely accessed by anyone. This is where issues of privacy to the individual arise. As

However, this new Facebook’s feature can be backfired because Facebook invades users’ privacy. Many users felt like their privacy was completely infiltrated, just about everything users updated or changed was instantly blasted out to hundreds of friends. News Feed has kept all the users’ information “loud”, and allowed people to see pictures and posts, which could give out information that users might not want their friends to know. Users claim that News Feed features leave the door open for people to 'creep'. “Facebook has always tried to push the envelope” (p.545) and “Everyone is freaking out” (p.544). Using people’s first reaction to the Facebook’s “News Feed” feature, Thompson later explains the privacy problem that this new feature may have caused. Thompson tries to inform the readers both side of the benefits and disadvantages using Facebook. The author creates a great connection with the readers by doing so, makes the readers feel that he’s on the same with them, that he understands the whole circumstances.

There is an article about Facebook allowing people to view other’s personal information. This right is protected by the U.S. constitution through the 4th Amendment. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly

Today, in the society that we live in, many teens tend to expose their life on social media. They post inappropriate pictures of themselves, google things that aren’t for their age, and sometimes even cyberbully. In the article, “At Some Schools, ‘Big Brother is Watching’”, Kelly Wallace wrote about some unfortunate things that have occurred on social media. The article mentions ways that spying on a kid can help prevent bullying and suicide thoughts. In her article, she includes how the privacy of a student on social media is completely taken away. Wallace believes that the district should not be able to view anything that a teen publishes online. In my opinion, Wallace is correct because everyone has the right to privacy and students should

Juveniles who have been placed into the adult prison system face significant roadblocks to future individual growth because their records are not sealed like those of minors tried in the juvenile justice system. Many employers and supervisors are unwilling to hire someone with an adult criminal record or pay such individuals similar wages to those without any interaction with the justice system. Juveniles placed in adult prisons in Texas face hurdles in their intellectual growth, both while paying their debt to society and after they have been restored to their community. Lastly, juveniles and their families face significant roadblocks to securing somewhere to live after the juvenile is released from

Chapter Six: The Other Three Consequences Punishment in my opinion seemed to tie back to the effects of implying telling. They both do not result in producing the ideal behavior thus an unwanted alternative consequence. My though on penalty does somewhat involve the manipulation of the one that is producing the negative behavior, who continues engaging in it, because either they face no dire consequences or having nothing else of value that can be taken away. It is interesting to note a contrast, that for punishment the party that is punishing feels satisfaction while in penalty the one that is punishing is not feeling satisfaction. Negative reinforcement is not just reinforcing for a behavior to cease at minimal, but also through the means

Many people who are being convicted of felonies have collateral consequences. Collateral consequences are "civil an/or political rights that are lost temporarily is some cases, or permanently in others following a felony conviction" (Alarid,pg.252). Most people who are convicted felons and suffer from collateral consequences, can ruin their reputation which can make difficult for the felon to be trustful or be credible in society. While most of the consequences are mostly temporary when spending time in correctional supervision, others can last a life time. In the book, they gave good reasons why offenders are removed some of their civil rights. One of reason is that they remove their rights to maintain public confidence in the court system

Because adolescents are growing up with more access to social networking, texting and instant messaging on various sites have become prime means of communication. While this is not necessarily bad, many people feel the need to over-share things about their personal lives online. More and more people are using Facbeook and more and more employers are using Facebook to scope out potential employees. If there are inappropriate pictures and comments all over someone’s Facebook page, they are more likely to not receive the job. Some students get in trouble for things they post on Facebook and Twitter. Some users are beginning to notice this and have started deactivating their accounts to regain a sense of privacy. CNN’s article “The anti-social network: Life without Facebook”, states that some students who are trying to maintain a professional image for future employment are deleting their pages.

Wallerstein concluded in her study that divorce is a devastating event for adults and children and divorce experience is a continuum that begins in an unhappy home and extends through the formal divorce. Thus, its effects are long-lasting and children are affected because divorce happens during their formative years. The separation of their parents inculcate in their their inner world a certain view of themselves and society.

As a teenager logs onto the internet for homework, the focus is lost. Why? Well, out of like infinite possibilities and opportunities of internet browsing and blogging, the teen is most likely on Facebook. Facebook, or as it was originally called www.thefacebook.com, is a website where users post and share photos, profiles, and basically anything that in a foreign world was considered “private”. Although, it is not only trendy teens surfing this site, business men marketing, musicians

Consequences can be long term and short term. A long term consequence can affect you in many ways. Such as when you are trying to get a job in the future, what college you go too and more. Short term consequences can affect your grades sports you are involved in and more.

Say you’re innocently driving down the street and this yellow car runs a red light, striking your car nearly killing you. Anyone in that situation would be very angry, the driver of the yellow car broke the law and nearly killed you doing so. Breaking the law can lead to serious consequences, however not every situation is like that example. There are some laws that seem unfair and unjust. If for some reason you feel victim to injustice there are two avenues you can peruse. The first is trying to persuade the city (or government) that you did not break a law, which can be accomplished in many ways. Secondly you could accept the fact that you indeed broke a law and now you are forced to face the penalties

Facebook, twitter and instagram are all methods used to share your life with others. You’re able to post pictures and type statuses to inform your friends, followers, etc., what you have been up to and how you have been living your life. Adults usually post pictures and statuses focusing on their family, trips and special events in their lives, while the younger generation takes social media a lot more serious. Every moment of their lives are put out there for the world to see, sometimes without the realization. Teenagers on social media are always trying to impress and one up each other. They sometimes post inappropriate material to try to look as cool as possible without realizing that ultimately employers, teachers, parents, law enforcement and strangers all have the ability to see. The problem is once something is on the internet it is there forever, and if caught you can find yourself in major trouble.
