The Internet can be Dangerous


Kleinfeld, Judith. (2008, May 23). Internet can be a Dangerous Weapon. Anchorage Daily News. 

Link to article.  

   This article pretty much covered the subject of the danger of the internet. It's effects on people, their workplace, employers, and especially cyberbullying. The author's purpose of this article is to warn us that cyber bullying can happen to anyone, not just teenagers but adults too, so we just all have to be careful what we post online. In the article, Kleinfeld points out that girls are more likely to be victims of cyber bullying, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Also, more than one in 10 teenagers said someone has spread a rumor about them online. Kleinfeld talks about cyber bullying being dangerous by using a real life situation where a girl named Megan hung herself because she was cyber bullied. Because cyber bullying is so serious, it should be stopped. This is something important that we should all pay attention to because we will know what to do if we ever are in these kinds of situations. Social Media is a great place for communication, but sometimes, people tend to use it to harm others.
