What might be some effects of this 'pet shaming' trend?
The people posting these might earn a lot of money. On YouTube, if you have a popular channel, companies might ask to advertise on it. Then you earn money from the adds. - Ollie
People might reply with hurtful messages about what they've done to their pets. - Brie
People will think you have pets that do the wrong thing, like bad pets. - Phoenix
People might start doing it to other people. They might think it's so funny that they start doing it to people who don't want it done to them. - Olivia
It might be sending the wrong message. People would think, those pets are absolutely horrible. The animals should be taken away because the owners are being horrible to them. - Samantha
There might be some jealousy. Someone might frame their pet to get more hits or likes. - Blair
Compare 'pet shaming' to 'kid shaming'.
The people online might think that the children are getting abused because the one that had the sign looked really young. - Charlotte
It makes the children feel, look, and act like someone they're not. - Emily
It could be bad for the child trying to get a job when he grows up. They'll say, 'He's that bully.' - Jordi
It might make the parents and the child look bad. - Max
It's showing that the kid's growing up. He's understanding that what he did was wrong. It might make the kid he bulled feel better. - Blair
The kids might end up having really low self-esteem and feel really bad about themselves. - Millie
If their friends saw that, they might get bullied. Their friends might laugh at them. - Samantha
Shaming a child is bad. They're family. The children will get upset. - Olivia
I think it's not very good because there are a few different things that could go wrong. Other kids might think it's right and then they might try to shame other kids. - Brie
The kid might feel ashamed and then feel angry at the mum. The mum might get mad back and do something worse. - Jordi
The child might get bullied at school and end up in foster care. The parent might get fined. - Ruby
The child will get angry at the mum. - Daniel
The child might go to school and lie about what the parents are doing. - Olivia
The children might have difficulty getting a job later on. People who saw them might not employ them. - Blair
They might try to get more attention by being naughty. The children might be trying to get attention because their mother works two jobs. - Brie
Once the children leave home, they might get angry at their mum because of what she did. - Julia
The children might behave better from then on. It might work. - Reuben
The children might become depressed because they feel so ashamed. - Anthony
The punishment should be more about teaching them a lesson instead of making them feel embarrassed and ashamed. This punishment might make them do it again because it harms them when they feel embarrassed. - Rosa
How big might these consequences get?
It's very racist. - Ollie
It's mean and offensive. It's disrespectful. - Max W.
If a person from Africa was looking at that, they would feel very offended. - Millie
It's probably not the best way to give her company a good reputation. I hope she lost her job. A lot of people will find that offensive. The fact that she's putting that on social media means a lot of people will see it. - Rosa
People might get really mad and then tweet bad stuff back. Once stuff's put on, you can't get rid of it. - Samantha
She might lose her job because the company might see her tweet and think it's not nice. Other people might see it and it will change the reputation of the company. - Phoenix
If she did lose her job, she would be out of money. She might not be able to buy food. - Anthony
She might get a lot of haters on Twitter. - Emily
What do you think we can learn from these examples?
ReplyDeleteI think that we should think before we post things that could offend or harm anyone.
DeleteTo always check your post and to make sure they would not be offensive to anyone.
DeleteExcellent point Reuben. What might happen if people don't stop and think?
DeleteI think that what Justine Sacco said was horrible and racist and I will learn not to ever do that!
DeleteTo use the habit of mind Stop and think even when out of school.
DeleteWe can learn from our racist remarks and make the world a better place.-Daniel
DeleteI think we should use common sense before punishing people or putting things online.
DeleteWhen this kind of thing is posted on social media everybody can see it and we can see this and learn from other peoples mistakes.
DeleteThis probably isn't the best way of promoting a good reputation for her company. Many people would find this tweet offensive and by putting that tweet on social media, there will be a record of it forever. People shouldn't sink to her level because two wrongs don't make a right. She has embarrassed herself enough and ruined her chances of getting jobs in the future. I am surprised she gained followers after making such an offensive, stupid, racist comment!
DeleteNever put something on social media that you will regret.
DeleteAlways make sure that you aren't cyber bullying.
That we should not post mean or racist comments on social media, because people will see it and possibly take a screenshot of it or share it with other people. And once you delete it, people have already seen it and shared it. Even if you delete a mean or racist comment, it is still in the system,to stay there forever.
DeleteI think we can learn that it's wrong to be racist and that the whole world can look at what you post online and if you put something mean online there will always people who disagree
DeleteYou should always check what you sent before you post something because once it is posted then you can't get rid of it. Someone would have already taken a screen shot.

ReplyDeleteWe should stop and think to see what you are posting so that you don't
ReplyDeleteoffend anyone.
Good thinking Jordi. Please click 'reply' next time, so your reply goes with the question. Sometimes there will be more than one question per post!
DeleteWhat would you do if this happened to you?
ReplyDeleteTo stop and think before we say something and to only say what we would wear on a t-shirt. And read before you post. The concequences could be very bad justine sacco could loose her job and the kids could have future struggles and so could the parents. If I was any of them I would use the habit of mind stop and think and make it right.
