Appeals court hears Conn. teen's appeal on school punishment for vulgar Web speech
My View
This article that I got from The IHT is about, that an American teen used vulgar slang in an Internet blog to complain about school administrators and have been punished by the school.
As it is well known, while the Internet is more and more common for every sphere, it has completely change our students’ communicate either.
According to the article, we can know that the girl is a quite excellent student in school who used to serve for the student council. However, as we can read from the article, she wrote that Jamfest’ was canceled due to douchbags in central office and another administrator was pissed off.
In today’s world, a lot of people find that since the Internet has become popular, people used more vulgar slang in their writing. In my opinion, it is due to when people write on the Internet, they will think that no duty will be afforded.
“.S. District Judge Mark Kravitz, denying Doninger's request for an injunction, said he believed she could be punished for writing in a blog because the blog addressed school issues and was likely to be read by other students”. From the judges saying, we can know that when you write or say something, you should be clear enough about the result will get and whether you can afford the duty or not. Like the girl we mentioned, she didn’t consider about the influence of her articles to the students who have read it.
As we know about the latest news in Hong Kong, that Edison Chan’s private photo had been exposed by someone. He put it all the privacy data onto the Internet, which cause a quite bad influence and supposed to be a crime. It is an event that the transmitter does not have any responsibility of his action and the hurt to the victims.
Our internet world is so chaotic that we need to do something to help changing it being much better than present. As a user of Internet, we should try our best to keep the rule of Internet and intensify the responsibility to protect this mental world. I believe, from our effort, we can build the most fantastic community on the internet some time.
