While reading through our English book for possible topics to write about. I came across an interesting article about Facebook. In short the article continues to talk about how people need to be wary on what they do and do not post, and that it is completely on them when it comes to information being found out by people. I believe this is completely relevant and relates to almost everyone! Now a days Facebook is the most popular way people communicate when it comes to the internet, and is by far used more than myspace. The way it relates is everyone is naive to what they think is actually viewed and not viewed, and it can hurt someone whether it be you or someone else. It could even be your chances of getting a job. Whatever is posted, is posted, and the person that does this should know the consequences for their actions.
Say you apply for a job that you really wanted, but the weeks before went out and partied and posted inappropriate comments or pictures on your Facebook. Your possible boss could take a look at your resume, go online and check up on you. That in itself should scare people into really thinking before writing. What I would like to get across is that although at the time it may seem like a good idea or funny. But if you really think about it in the long run is it worth hurting yourself even more?
If you would like to read about this it is on page 285.
