Have you ever thought of putting spyware on your child’s computer? In the article ‘‘Undercover Parent’’, Harlan Coben discusses how most parents won’t even consider putting spyware on their child’s computer. From my point of view parents should put spyware on their child’s computer. Some parents will say that it’s better to use parental blocks that deny access to risky sites. For example, if your child looked up porn, your child would not have access to that website.…
The tone of an essay or letter lets the reader know how the author feels about what he or she is writing about. Having the proper tone is key to writing a good essay, letter, or even an article if you're trying to inform or persuade someone about something. It helps the reader realize you're serious about whatever you're talking about or that it's an important issue. Dave Kessler, the sixth grade student who wrote a letter to the school newspaper editor about banning advertisement in school had a serious tone and was concerned about the issue. "It is not fair to influence young minds to buy products or watch television programs when they should be focused on schoolwork," Kessler states in his letter.…
In the article “The undercover Parent” (2008) written by Coben Harlan. He states that putting spy gear on the computers is okay. I disagree with coben. In Cobens article he says “Some will say that it is better just to use parental blocks that deny access to risky sites.”…
While both can be at fault, they ultimately need to begin to cooperate with each other. The worst both parties could do is not communicate with each other, and by working together, they can come up with a solution that benefits and satisfies everyone. Without ad-blockers, revenue gained from the web will plummet, and companies will have to be more intrusive to advertise than they already are, which is something neither the consumers nor the advertisers want. So, as the popularity of ad-blockers increases, advertisers should devise a thoughtful solution to the AdBlock problem while users do their part and don’t be too quick to judge those…
I think that parents should monitor their children by putting up web page blockers because it makes sure that their child is not doing what they aren't supposed to do. A web page blocker is easy to install you just go into the google store and…
A great amount of parents aren’t taking this in mind. (Coben). I totally agree with Coben’s argument by using spyware for the protection of danger within them and within the interweb. As a reason Coben had stated for the parental monitoring, is that teens could be harmed in anyway over the dangers that are on the web.…
This allows on some access to material students are either researching for a class or for their own leisure. However, when you control what material can be said or shared we are missing out on potentially important information. For example, China has their internet controlled by their government. China filters what information comes in and out of their country. According to an article Media Censorship in China, “The Chinese government has long kept tight reins on both traditional and new media to avoid potential subversion of its authority.…
There are street cameras everywhere, watching the sidewalks, the cars on the road, and appear at every entrance and exit on public property. We are constantly being observed no matter where go, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. With the recent terrorists’ attacks and threats, our society should feel protected by the cameras, knowing that if someone attempts to create chaos, it’ll be easier to capture them if they are caught on video. Even though this is form of protection, the government has been over zealous with what exactly they are looking for and taking advantage of the fact that they can watch citizens. The only difference between our government and BB is that people tend to get away with a lot more without causing alarm because our government isn’t as stringent.…
Kids at most ages go to their phones for entertainment, and to check on whatever other people are doing. In the high school setting that is not the case, and is prohibited on their computers, and laptops. The CIPA was enacted to protect kids from negative images, and other harmful websites. Negative images and other websites can affect kids drastically, especially as a high school student. The kids in high school are just kids that are still developing their brain, and are barely moving on to adulthood.…
My desire is to practice and represent myself as an educator in a manner that represents my core beliefs as Christ would do. However, to accomplish this goal, it is necessary to analyze my filters: biases, assumptions, and prejudices, related to the way I perceive my world view. These filters influence the “color of glasses I am wearing” (Knight, 2006). Evaluation of my hidden biases, assumptions, and prejudices (filters) assists in bringing my filters to the forefront of my consciousness. Without careful analysis and internal assessment the unconscious filters impact my interpretations and communication in my educational role.…
: The question says about a bill which was introduced in congress to require the proof of age from any person visiting the site and that should require a credit card number or some other adult identification number. Some of the arguments for this law are: As we all know that pornography impacts a huge percentage of children by the misuse of those sites. Therefore, in my view, there should be: 1. Age prohibited content: There is a need to protect the children from these acts and therefore, to protect the children, content beyond the age of 18 years should be blocked.…
Such things as spreading your religion in school can be censored because it’s not accepted by all people. Also in school their textbooks can be censored by the context of the book that could harm the children’s knowledge. Our school district limits our technology rights within our chromebooks. We are limited with our chromebooks by the websites that we can access that are deemed appropriate. Along with the context that could harm our children in our textbook’s the content could be irrelevant now and could be taken out of our…
So sometime it can be a good thing to have web filters as long as they restrict websites that should be blocked. I still choose to believe that the school web filters are too strict but I also understand why we use them at schools. I know many students that would like to see the web filters be less strict, but I also know many students who feel that the web filters don’t affect them in any way. There also other reasons for web filters like maybe some parents don’t want their children to access these web filters. Or some people would maybe take advantage of not having any web…
Well when it states,” The intentions of using Internet filters in schools are good of course, but they were created in times when it was still possible to shield students from the dangers of the unknown.” (WALTHAUSEN) Times have truly changed for the better, but web filters cannot protect students from the dark side of the internet. It would be more beneficial to teach students to avoid these place and involve parents with the learning process which would be way better than…
Social media is a network of companies, such as Twitter and Instagram, where a person can share and interact with people across the globe. It is supposed to be a safe place to post things like pictures from life experiences. Since these applications are connected to the Internet, once something is posted it is there forever. Even if it was deleted, the company where it was posted keeps a record of it. Furthermore, just because the account is set as private, it does not mean it is hidden from everyone’s eyes.…
