- You are the young manager of an ice cream parlor that is beloved by local families. You are looking to hire some teens for the summer, when the shop is open late every evening. You require an application and at least one reference. It occurs to you that you could look online to find out a bit more about the applicants. Where would you look? And what might you find that would make you not hire someone?
- You are finally old enough to join a social networking site and set up your own profile. You spend a lot of time making the profile look cool and you have links to many friends. Your mom makes her own profile and asks you to be her “friend.” Is that fair? Explain your thinking.
- You have a social network profile and are smart enough to use the privacy settings to keep your stuff away from the eyes of people other than your friends. A friend of yours thinks a silly photo of you in your underwear is funny, copies the photo, and places it on her public profile. How might you feel? What might be the unintended results of such a photo in a public place?
- You work at YXZ University. You have to choose a few talented high school students to spend six weeks on your college campus between their sophomore and junior years. What would you want to know about these students before inviting them to live on campus? What could you find out about them online?
- You are a college freshman. Your cousin, who is a high school freshman, asks to “friend” you on a social networking site. You like your cousin and don’t want to hurt his feelings, but you say “no.” What are some reasons you might not want your cousin to see your profile and friends?

1)I would go onto Facebook, and search the person, and see how secure their page is, and if it isn’t locked, go through their stuff, and see their personality.
2)I say yes that it is fair to be friends with your parents. At my house, we either have to give our parents our username and password or be friends.
3)Id talk to the friend, and ask her to remove the picture, if she/he is a true friend, they would delete it.
4)I would want to see if they can handle the responsibilities of living on a college campus, and search them on a social media site.
5)My cousins are 11 and 9, and I’d never be friends with them online, because someone can post something inappropriate, their parents check their Facebook, and there’s something’s I just don’t want my aunt and uncle to see.

I would look on sites like Facebook, MySpace, Blogger, and many other sites when trying to find out more about the people who are applying for the job. If I were to find inappropriate messages or pictures, or see that they were cyber bullying other’s I would not hire them.
Yes I think that is fair because after all it is your mother and she is the one who let you join the site in the first place. Also this way she knows that you are being ethical and she only has to look at your page on her account instead of standing over your shoulder watching you when you are on your account.
I would feel betrayed, outraged, embarrassed, and ashamed. The result of that action could result in everyone seeing the picture and begin bullying you and making fun of you.
Before I were to invite these students I would want to know if they were ethical , friendly, and were overall nice people to be around. Online I would be able to get a feel of what kind of person they were, like if they friended everyone, made all their stuff public, only friended the people they knew, if they were inappropriate, or it they were ethical and friendly.
Some reason’s that you might not want your cousin to see your profile and friends are that you are older and may use harsher language. Also some people don’t want others to see what they are doing all the time even if you are their cousin or friend.

1. I would probably look on Facebook, Google, twitter, and maybe even MySpace.
I would definitely not hire someone who maybe sent a bad picture to someone. Said bad stuff on there Facebook twitter or MySpace.
2. Yea, why would it not be? I guess it would if you were a bad person but I don’t mind I’m friends with my mom and grandparents.
3. Well I would feel like that person was not really my friend. I would ask them to take it down. And maybe go to a parent and I would defiantly unfriend that friend.
4. I would want to know if they are interested in going to a big school, living away from home, if they want to do a sport, What their grades are, are they a party animal, if they are a nice person. You could find some of this info on Facebook or Google.
5. Because if you liked to party and drink you don’t want your little cousin seeing that you do that, you don’t want their parents to know that you do that stuff

1) I would look on different social networking sites to see if the applicants are really who they say to be. Another place to look is their school website, to see if the student is well-rounded enough to handle a job and if the person can easily talk to customers. Also, typing their name in a Google search may not be a bad idea. This way I could see if this person has anything to do with negative issues.
2) I think it is fair, as long as my mom doesn’t embarrass me. The odds are more towards good than bad though. If my mom has access to see what is on the social networking site, it is a safer environment because a parent is ok with the site and nothing is secretive.
3) I would feel very much ashamed and also angry with my friend. It could result in hurtful comments and insensitive remarks at school, and could possibly be the cause for not getting a job in the future because the employer found the “silly” picture.
4) I would want to know if these high school students were talented, positive role models in their schools, leaders in extracurricular activities, and if they were involved with any negative issue. I could find out about their personalities on social networking sites and their involvement on their school website. Also, any search engine could tell me if they were involved with something negative or inappropriate.
5) I wouldn’t want my cousin to see my profile and friends, because with an eight year difference, my cousin would be exposed to thing that he/she shouldn’t know of. Also, my cousin could spread private things unknowingly, causing more harm to you and your friends.

1.You would look at a website that has applications for the people in your area. That they have been fired before.
2.Yes because she wants to watch out for you and make sure you’re not doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
3.I would feel horrible, angry and embarrassed. Lots of people who you don’t want to see can see it and you will probably have an effect on you future when people who want to hire you see it.
4.Whether they have a history with the law, they have a record of doing stupid things and most likely their grades. Pretty much anything if you have the proper authority and clearance.
5.You might not want him to be friends with them and or annoy them or you could be ashamed of who you are friends with which is unlikely.
1)I would look on all the social networking site to see what I could find on them. I would not want to hire them if I found any questionable pictures or statements or if they had a criminal record.
ReplyDelete2)It dependends on if you want her to; if not then no its not fair because you want the privacy.
3)I would be embaresed because now instead of a few people seeing the picture everyone can.
4)I would want to know they're there for the education and not just to party. You could find information on them them from their social networking page. Also I'd check to see if they had a criminal record where they're from.
5) You might not want him to see all the inappropriate stuff you and your friends have on your pages.

1. Where I would look to find out about the teenage applicants would be search them up on Google or social networks. What I could find about the teenage applicants could be pictures they’ve taken or things they’ve said on social networks.
2. I think it’s fair to let your parents be friends with you on a social network so they can keep an eye on you and make sure you won’t get hurt.
3. How I would feel I’d feel if someone put up a picture of me in my underwear on a social network is feel embarrassed and angry. What could result from the picture being put up is being called names and being bullied.
4. What I would want to know about letting certain students stay on a college campus is to know if they’re going to be appropriate about it and know they aren’t going to make bad choices. Things I could find are harsh language on social networks and inappropriate pictures.
5. Some reasons I wouldn’t want my cousin to be friends with me on a social network would be not wanting them to see how I act and what I do with friends.
1.) I would look on different social networking sites to see what kind of posts they put on their and see that if this applicant took a risque picture or posted a dirty comment, it would make it a less chance of me to hire them because I wouldn't want a bad reputation for my company.
ReplyDelete2.) Yeah I think it's fair because your mom would only be making sure that you're safe and aren't putting anything online that you shouln't. I'm friends with my mom on facebook and she isn't embarrassing like some moms can get.
3.) I would feel really ticked off at my friend and ask her to remove it because I wouldn't want random people to see that side of me and I wouldn't want my reputation to go down the toliet.
4.) I would search the students to see if they have ever been involved in a crime of some sort and if they had a history of bad events occuring.
5.) My cousin could probably see some pictures of me drinking underage or something that could possibly get me in trouble with my family.

1. You could look at the website of the reference they gave you to find out if it is a reliable source. I wouldn’t hire them if they have a criminal record or have been fired from numerous jobs.
2. Yes it’s fair. She just wants to make sure that you aren’t doing anything that you shouldn’t be.
3. I would feel completely embarrassed, and more than a little angry at my friend. Some predator might see that picture and might start to cause trouble.
4. I would want to know their GPA, if they’ve ever been in trouble with the law or school, and their attendance records. I could find out what sort of person they are online, by searching their social networking sites.
5. Your cousin might start hanging out with older people who are bad influences on that cousin.

ReplyDelete1. You are the young manager of an ice cream parlor that is beloved by local families. You are looking to hire some teens for the summer, when the shop is open late every evening. You require an application and at least one reference. It occurs to you that you could look online to find out a bit more about the applicants. Where would you look? And what might you find that would make you not hire someone?
If you were looking to hire someone and lookijg online for stuff ab out them, and maybe find that they have a record for stealing or something then ur not gonan want to hire them.
1. You are finally old enough to join a social networking site and set up your own profile. You spend a lot of time making the profile look cool and you have links to many friends. Your mom makes her own profile and asks you to be her “friend.” Is that fair? Explain your thinking
2. It is very fair so your parents can check up on your wall and watch what your saying and what people are posting on your wall.
You have a social network profile and are smart enough to use the privacy settings to keep your stuff away from the eyes of people other than your friends. A friend of yours thinks a silly photo of you in your underwear is funny, copies the photo, and places it on her public profile. How might you feel? What might be the unintended results of such a photo in a public place?
3. You would feel really bad and probably go and talk to that person to try to get it shut off,.
You work at YXZ University. You have to choose a few talented high school students to spend six weeks on your college campus between their sophomore and junior years. What would you want to know about these students before inviting them to live on campus? What could you find out about them online
4. You would want to find out if they have a record for one. Second you would want to find out if they are trustworthy.
1. You are a college freshman. Your cousin, who is a high school freshman, asks to “friend” you on a social networking site. You like your cousin and don’t want to hurt his feelings, but you say “no.” What are some reasons you might not want your cousin to see your profile and friends?
5. I really don’t know why you wouldn’t add your cousin…
Chelsea Bauders,
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted to hire someone, I would go on there Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter. You can find out a lot of information from the different websites. If the person is rude, or a partier I wouldn’t want to hire them. They could not get along with the customers or miss work a lot. I would want the person not to talk bad on the internet and be respectful to other people.
If you mom wants to be your friend that’s fair. She wants to make sure your not getting in trouble and there is no problems. She should know what happens on the internet with you.
If my friend did that I would want her to take it off. Bad people could see that, and I could get in trouble. Someone could report the photo and I could get in trouble. I would feel embarrassed.
Before I would invite the students on campus for six weeks, I would want to know if they get into trouble and responsible. I could see there posts and see if people like them and if there appropriate.
I wouldn’t care if my cousin was my friend on my social website. But some reasons I would say no to it, would be because I would want his friends to have access to my profile and my friends to have access to his profile.

1. If I wanted to find out about more kids that I was going to hire I would look on social networking sites for them. Stuff that I might find on why I wouldn’t hire them is inappropriate pictures and bad language and some bad activities they do and how they act towards other people. 2. I think your mom asking you to be her friend on a social networking site can be fair because then it restrains you from saying bad stuff and also doing bad stuff. 3. I might feel embarrassed if a friend posted a picture of me in my underwear. The unintended results could be I will stop being there friend and they could get in trouble by parents or police and I could beat them up. 4. I would like to know what they do for a living and if they party on nights so I know so I won’t be there to stay out of trouble. Online I can find out stuff about them like where they originally live and other personal stuff. 5. I might not want my cousin seeing my profile because everything I say or do or see he will be able to see and I wouldn’t want him telling on me or seeing my personal stuff.
1 I would look at a site like Facebook to see if they act professionally and would set the right image for our ice cream shop. I would also do a background check to make sure that they haven’t committed any crimes. I wouldn’t hire someone who promoted the wrong things or would give our business a bad image.
ReplyDelete2 Yes, it’s perfectly fair. It’s for your own protection and you parent has the right to know your business.
3 I would feel violated and would ask the friend to take the picture down before problems occur. The results could get myself or the friend into trouble.
4 If their grades are sufficient and if they’re responsible enough for this event. Overall, if the student would benefit from this program.
5 Your cousin could be a bad influence and could potentially say things that other viewers could see that you prefer to keep private from the rest of the world. Every family has dysfunction; some more than others.
