More on Facebook

I know we have passed the Facebook era of our class, but I was listening to KS95 on the 11th of March (I made a note in my phone but forgot to post an entry). The issue was with a high school boy suing Facebook because of a tormenting group. This group is a group from his school and they were not only tormenting him in real life face-to-face encounters, but also on Facebook now. So, the radio personalities were opening it up for discussion on whether listeners agreed or not with what was going on and if he should be able to sue this entity. I tried calling in but to no avail. A few individuals who were able to get through brought up the issue of why there was no surveillance on Facebook for what the purpose of this group was for (tormenting). One mother called in and brought up respect. If we respect others in real life, then we will respect them online as well. As another dimension, if parents show respect to their children, they will show respect to their classmates. This seemed like one area we didn't discuss in the class - how real life affects Facebook use, and how we treat people in face to face is directly related to how people act on Facebook.
There is a really funny YouTube video I found from our article we read on Facebook, but I don't know if anyone clicked the link. But it is how Facebook would be in real life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrlSkU0TFLs
