Cyber Bullying

This past week was really stressful on the amount of work we had to do. It's just one of those assignments that don't work well with the time given. That's okay because at least I have some new terms to share with you.

We were learning about cyber bullying. The terms that went under that catergory were:

Target- The intended victim
Offender- A person with malicious intent
Bystander- A witness who does nothing
Upstander- A person who stands up for & supports the intended victim
Escalate - To make more intense
De-Escalate- To make less intense

People all over the world have been bullied, face to face and online. Online people feel more free to do what they want and don't feel remorse on the things they say to someone. They don't feel as if it matters therefore they won't be punished. That's not the case, and they need to realize that what they has an impact on people.

 Then there's the bystanders who watch but don't do anything to help. That makes you just as bad as the bully. If you feel you want to help out don't just watch things escalate. Be an upstander and stick up for the person being put down. Help things calm down and de-escalate.

Another thing that is currently happening is the pumkin that was sent into space. Have you heard about it? No, then let me tell you about it. The punkin named "Patches" was sent into space by a helium balloon. I guess they want to celebrate Halloween up there. "The pair used a 1600 g balloon filled with 3.5 m³ of helium. The giant balloon was attached to the platform that holds patches and a specially mounted camera." The article stated.

I think it affects me by the imagination to even think about getting that up there, it feels positive yet negative. Negative because they are putting things like that in space where it will never disentegrate. I think it can impact the world with motivation to do more things like that but maybe in a different way. Maybe it can set the world with a bit more imagination for everyone. I think it can also set a bad impact on everyone because it's still sending things into space knowing it won't ever deteriorate or disappear. It's just sitting there floating around even when the balloon pops, it's still there hanging around.
