Th Sear Tower is the greatest achievement that the engineering have built so far because of its hight.

William LeMessuier has designed a skyscraper almost one-half mile high, and twice as tall as the Seal Tower.

idea #1- If you have a computer in your school/building which is a teaching environment, then you should never put the computers in the corners. You should always put it where you will be able to supervise what the students/person is doing.

idea #3- Though parents may think they should not go through their childs social profile, it is recommended they do to make sure what type of activities or people they hang around with are good people.

Bullycide

I have amazingly learned many valueable facts and information from reading the article and watching the clip. I have learned that if you had bullied someone and in result from all the bullying they killed themselves, you would go to prison even if you werent there or physically tried to kill the person. I have also learned that if you post something such as a video or picture about someone and in return they kill themselve, you would be charged of invasion of privacy and other bias charges. After so much bullying, 45 states have enforced anti-bullying laws and Massachusetts has one of the most strictest one. With 1 in 5 students and 9 in 10 gay/lesbians-students are bullied each year.

After all i have read and seen they could have been many things people could have done or done differently to save the peoples life or solve the problems. If people would have been more sympathetic or put themselves in the shoes of the person they are bullying they would see it is harsh to bully someone and in return would no bully someone so much that it caused them to commit suicide. Though some people bully others because of how they are treated at home such as being beaten or harass and release their anger or frustation on the target, i believe that if the parent or however at home wasnt so mean and so how much negative effects they have on the children would make such a difference on if people bully others or not. I also believe that if the internet didnt have so much information on how to kill yourselves then not as much people would have killed themselves. Bullying is such a horrible crime, everything that helps increase the bullying such as gossip or physical abuse should be charged as a crime no matter what.

2. Why is it important to understand someone else's perspective?

1. Are actions in an online community (like the slurs on the website) different than actions taken offline (like the notes left on Lyla’s locker at the school)? Why, or why not?
