What Else Can We Do To Stop It?

I looked around online for blogs that are about the same topic as mine, and I found a few. Most of the ones that popped up were from news blogs, but I wanted something a little more interesting. Here are the two I found most interesting.

The first blog I found is about law enforcement officers and their responses to cyberbullying. In the blog is talked about how many of the officers encounter cyberbullying cases, but are not sure what to do about it. In the blog, it was trying to persudae officers to be creative, and think of new ways to try and stop cyberbullying. It also stated that one of the problems officers are having is that they may not be familiar enough with the mediums kids are using for cyberbullying.

The other blog I found was a little less formal. This blog was about cyberbullying of adults, which I thought was interesting. It was asking people whether they would stand up against the bully or just turn and walk away. I thought this was a good point.

The first article uses different statistics and stories from actual law enforcement officers to try and make the audience think about a better solution to the cyberbullying problem. It also gives suggestions about talking to kids and becoming more familiar with the mediums bullies use. I think that was a good way of convincing people to think more about cyberbullying and think more about a way to try and stop it.

The second article mainly brings up alot of questions about cyberbullying. Not only does the author ask alot of thought provoking questions, these questions open up your mind ot think about even more questions and possible solutions to this problem of cyberbullying.

  1. The two blogs you chose seem very different in the way their informaiton was presented, but each was also very effective in their argument. I understood a lot about the blogs you chose just by reading your post!

  2. It was interesting to hear about a look at cyber bullying from the eyes of law enforcement. Your analysis was informative but didn't really seem to dig very deep into the types of arguments made. Also, please post the links. Good read.
