Today at my house my mom and I some how got to talking about how some people are losing their jobs and are being judge for potential work off their networking accounts. When I research it a bit I found that in January of this year a police officer who worked for a middle school in Florida was under investigation a while back for a person/friend on his myspace. That person's page had links to porn on it. The officer had gotten his account in order to help communicate and better connect to the children he was working with. His intentions were honorable but now because he probably just added someone without thinking about it he is now about to lose his job.Its weird to me how we could be potentially be judged by our personal accounts. These accounts to me would almost be a way of expressing ourselves and using our freedom of speech. I don't feel it fair that an employer or potential employer would use these as medias to make decisions about an individual. On that note however I guess I could see the logic to someone on why you would look at something like that. They usually are good representations of the people that created them, they can tell a lot about person. I think when being judged by these though the person doing the judging should use common sense about it. People generally create these sites at younger ages and they shouldn't be held against them later in life. They should also look at the fact that users can't always keep tract of everything that is on everyone's page.
But I guess when it really comes down to it, watch who you add and watch what is on your page because you never really know who is looking at them.

I agree. Overall, from the point of War of the Worlds, fear drives people to do what they believe is right and right for the better good of the people. When those people attack the radio station and burned it down and 6 people were killed, shows that fear drives people to throw out there morals to do something as human instinct... Attack or be Attack.
