Reaction To Blogging Videos

My reaction to the videos is that I knew that what you right on the internet, you cannot take back, but I didn't realize how often cyberbullying occurs. I didn't know that 100,000 children a year drop out of school because of cyberbulling. Now, I am going to be more cautious of what I put on the internet, because of these safe-blogging videos.

Safe Blogging Videos

The three videos I watched were the first two and the last one. The first one was about how once you post something online, you cannot take it back, no matter what. Anyone can see the picture or read the sentence whenever they feel like it, so you should be careful about what you post. The second video was about a girl who gives a speech, but instead of saying something nice, she makes fun of another girl, and the message that the video tries to get across is that if you won't say it to some one's face, it is not OK to say it online. The last video was about a bunch of kids showing where, how, and how many times bullying occurs. That was a very serious video, and nobody spoke during the entire video. I believe that it is important to raise awareness about how severe the punishments of making a mistake online can be.

Globalization

In the tennis US Open, men's and women's, the top 9 players came from 6 different countries. This statistic, and many others, show the rapid expanison of sports once only played by Americans. This expansion is caused by the faster communication and faster travel. Before there were planes, if you wanted to travel from Spain to America, you would have to go on a crowded boat for a few days. Now, it takes a matter of hours. Also, to accept an invitation to a tournament, a player in a different country would have to write a letter to the other country, wait for it to get there, and wait for it to get back. Now, e-mail allows people from around the world to communicate with eachother in a matter of seconds. For sure, the world is getting smaller.
