Digital Cause and Effect with Wheke






What are some of the potential consequences of this pet-shaming trend? 

It's funny when it's just pictures, but sometimes it can get really serious. This doesn't really deal with the pet's problem behaviour, which might get worse. - Olivia

It can be funny, but only if it's something like they've stolen a sandwich, not destroying the entire bed. If it's very serious, it's not funny. - Max Ha.

The owner chose to film the dog eating the pizza, instead of stopping it. If this continues, people might take pictures for pet-shaming, instead of actually dealing with the problems. - Jaden

The dogs look guilty in the pictures, they probably are, but they might be innocent. We can't always trust the pictures we see online. - Tom

These things are popular because the owners use clickbait, e.g. 'Click to check out this amazing crazy dog,' but it's just something pretty ordinary. - Carlos




Compare pet-shaming to kid-shaming. 

It's sad for the kids who have to hold up posters like that. It must make them feel embarrassed. - Ella

The bully one's not funny at all. The baby one could be funny to some people. - James

The bully one is a consequence of being a bully. - Marcus

If they see the one with the baby, they might think the parent is not being a good parent. - Leela

It depends on the age... One or two year-olds aren't taken as seriously. - Carlos

The baby one's funny and the bullying one's not because it's bad for the kid. It's really mean. - Tom

The parent who forced their child to do that isn't a very good parent. They should be more caring. - Anna



What might be the long-term consequences of kid-shaming?

Their mother might go to jail because it's like child abuse. - Jada and Lilah

The children might get angry at their mum and keep doing the wrong thing to get revenge. - James and Max

When the children are older, they might get really depressed. - Fi and Olivia

They might not want to see their parents when they get older. - James

The idea about visiting prison in a 'Scared Straight' programme would be really scary. - Carlos

When they grow up, people will still know about when they were little. When they go for a job, employers might Google them and decide not to hire them. - Jacob and Jaden



What might be the consequences of this person's Tweets?

Here friends that follow her might not want to be her friend any more. - Max B.

People with darker skin who follow her might read this and feel really offended and sad. - Ella

You never know who's on Twitter. That German guy on the plane might be on Twitter. It would dip into his bucket. - Lilah

Her friends might share it with other friends. It might get bigger and bigger and more people in the world might hear about it. - Mackenzie

Whenever she applies for a job, they will search up her name and see those comments. They'll think we don't want someone like this. If that gets tweeted around and shared to lots of people and goes viral, millions of people might see it. - Carlos



Which habit of mind did this person most lack in making this tweet?

That's funny - She thought it was funny, but it wasn't. - Ella and Mackenzie

Stop and Think - She should have thought of what might happen. - James

Thinking About Thinking - She didn't consider what the outcome might have been. - Marcus

Questions - She should have asked herself, 'Is this a good idea? What might the consequences be?' - Caitlin

Make it Right - If she was checking and rechecking, she might have chosen better words. - Tom

Being Clear - She should have thought about what she said and how to say it before she said it. - Carlos

Work With Others - You shouldn't say those things about people because it's not being nice to them. - Jada


What can we learn from her mistake?

You shouldn't cyberbully or do any type of bullying. Never be racist. - Sorell and Caitlin

When you're racist online, there are consequences. - Olivia and Fi

Think before you post. - Max and James

You're allowed to think whatever you like in your head, but you shouldn't post all of it. When you type something, it should be nice and make you seem like a good person. - Ella and Mackenzie

Before you post, think about what the consequences will be if someone thinks it's mean or racist in any way. Check it before you publish. - Leela

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. - Jada

Heaps of other people can learn from her mistake. They won't do the same thing. - Caitlin

It's good in a way that she did it, because we can learn from her mistake. It shows her true-colours. - Anna


What do you think 'digital citizenship' might mean?

It might have something to do with senior citizens. - Oliver

It's something to do with being nice online. - Sorell

It's like all your digital accounts, like Instagram. - Lilah

Maybe it means when you meet people online, treat people like you would in real life. - Jada

Social media accounts. - Fi

Keep private information to yourself, not online. - Zen
