Private Today, Public Tomorrow

1. Why do you think things posted online tend to persist, even when you prefer they didn't?
Cause if you were to apply for a job or go to a college then they can check up your information on any inline website.
2. What kinds of things might be good for your reputation in the future if they are posted online now? What kinds of things might be harmful?
Like pictures of getting scholarships, or any other achievments. It could be harmful to post up pictres of you at a party drinking, smoking, or doing something else inappropriate.


1. Do you think Millersville University was justified in disqualifying Stacy from earning her teaching degree because of her profile page? Why, or why not?
A: No because she was old enough to drink so i don't know why the university is making a big deal out of it.
2. How would the situation be different if the context of the photo were taken into account? For instance: What if the caption of the photo was not “Drunken Pirate,” but “Happy Halloween” or “My friend forced me to wear this pirate hat”? What if a post accompanying the photo said that it had been taken at a child’s birthday party and Stacy was drinking punch?
A: Then the college wouldn't make a big deal about it.

3. What if Stacy’s friend Joe had posted the picture of Stacy without her knowing it, and tagged her with the “Drunken Pirate” caption. Does the fact that Joe posted the picture change the situation? Why or why not?
A: Yes because stacy doesn't have no clue and would have to blame all of it on her friend Joey.
4. Does Joe have a responsibility to ask Stacy before he posts (and tags) a picture of her? Do other people, including strangers who come across the photo online, have the responsibility to check with Stacy before they tag or repost the photo? Why, or why not?
A: Yes he does have responsibility. Yes they do have the responsibility to check stacy before they tag because it could really effect her career.
