Privacy settings on my social networks

I have learnt that it is important to check your privacy settings, make them airtight

Think before you post

No regrets, Case study

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? Think about the question from different perspectives, such as that of Stacy, her friends, school officials, community members, or parents of Stacy’s students. Remember that Stacy is an adult and as such this is not about about judging her behaviour but about considering issues of online privacy.

I believe that even though there was some method behind their reasons for rejecting her, I believe it was unfair to reject her, she was over the legal age, the photo does not show the cups contents, so the title could have been a joke.

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?

It would be no different, the picture shouldn't mean she loses her job anyhow.

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?

Like I said before, it would be no different, the picture shouldn't mean she loses her job. But  it would also mean Joe should be punished for putting up a picture without someones permission.

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? 

Yes, it is common sense, you can't just put someone's photo on the internet for everyone to see without that persons permission

Authority in Documents

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qgWkwUzumZg

All of the experts seem calm and confident, and for some reason middle aged men, they are allsitting behind a desk, making it seem like they are the boss.
Positives include stronger persuasion of point and authority to that point
Negatives include continuity if the 'expert' signs up to another documentary with a different opinion
The Stereotype seems to be older men wearing suits, rarely are young men and women shown.

Do Documentaries Show Reality?

Authentic is something that is truthful or real, there are no major differences between the words real and authentic, aside from spelling so no, there are no differences between real and Authentic

Authentic                      The interviews, the facts that were given, the accounts.

Inauthentic                     The footage of the events
