Site Evaluations

http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/, http://usliberals.about.com/od/deathpenalty/i/DeathPenalty.htm, and http://www.amnesty.org/en/death-penalty were all reliable. Although http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/ and http://www.amnest.org/ were biased/slanted they were still very reliable on the topic they stated at the begining. Also for all of the websites that were reliabled, the author and the credentials were clearly stated. On the other hand, http://www.kkk.org/ was not reliable; the author was not stated, and it was very biased. Also, when I clicked on the link only pictures showed up, with no words.I am not sure if there was a networking problem or if the website just had pictures. But as I went to different parts of the site there were words, but still not reliable, therefore I found that http://www.kkk.org/ was not reliable.

Online Safety

In this article, it tells a story about a kid named Ryan Halican who took his own life because the bullying got so bad. It all began in 5th grade, not online bullying yet, but verbal assaults. His parents told him to ignore them and just walk away. This continued until about 8th grade summer when they started bullying him online through AOL instant messaging. Pretty girls would message him saying embarrassing stuff acting like they were attracted to him. The girls would laugh amongst themselves at Ryan's expense. Also the girls copied and pasted there private message exchanges and posted them into other conversations with her friends. During the summer of 2003 was when Ryan took his own life because he just could handle the bullying and antagonizing at home through the internet.
