Technology Crosses the Line

David is a student in a school district where his mother is on the school

board. Recently, three of his classmates posted a web site openly attacks
some of the teachers and students, using explicit and offensive language.
It even goes as far as predicting which gay students will be the first to die
of AIDS. Remarks about several teachers are scathing, suggesting that
one fantasies about having sex with young girls and that two married
teachers are having an affair. The site includes disgusting graphics.

Several weeks ago, David learned the identities of the three students who
created the website when one of them accidentally said something to him
in a conversation. The other two quickly corralled David and pressured
him not to reveal their names. He agreed not thinking much about it at
the time. David used to be close of the three students, but that friendship
has faded.

Now the school principal has obtained a program that allows him to
identify each person who has visited the website. He is asking students
to come forward with the names of the creators of the site, and if no one
does, he is going to question each student who visited the site. David is
one of those who did visit the site. He realizes he may be the only student
who knows the names of the three students who created the site. He can
lie and say he doesn’t know, or he can break his promises not to tell.

David has always thought of himself as an ethical person with a clear

sense of right and wrong. Right now, however, he feels that either choice
will end in disaster. What should David do?

On Friday, teacher-adviser had all three boys stay to talk with him during
recess. He told them they had until the end of recess to work out whatever
it was that was going on between them. If they had not all forgiven each
other by the end of recess, they had to go to the principal’s office. Then
teacher-adviser left the classroom.

9
The three boys stared angrily at each other waiting for someone to say
something. Sam didn’t know what to say. All he knew was that he was
tired of being mad and hurt. What could he do to make it stop? And what
did teacher-adviser mean by all forgive each other?

Guide Questions
▪ Would you do if you were in David’s place?
▪ How might your decision be affected by whether you were close with
one of the teachers or students that were humiliated in the site?
▪ How bound would you feel by the promises you made to the
three students?
▪ Is there even a point where the good of a community is more
important to honor than the good of individual relationship?

What I Have Learned

As we go through our activities, it is likely that you get something.
▪ 1. Community structure pictures out how is the land and its
resources cultivated and developed for the common good. The
function of community structure is to give people in a community
a better living, assuring safety and security.

▪ 2. Community dynamics point out development of business activities

and its business multipliers. The function of community dynamics
is to provide people in a community means of living to meet their
basic needs and wants

▪ 3. Community processes describes relationship among people in a

community shaped by social values, norms, laws, and folkways.
The function of community processes is to promote orderly society
through cooperation,

▪ 4. Setbacks and backlashes are inevitable when talking about

community structure, dynamics, and processes.

What I Can Do
Sometimes we are stuck with the weaknesses or imperfection of our
communities, there are some members of the community who can be
regarded as working what is proper as a person particularly in your
neighborhood.

So then, go to your SK Chairman/any SK members or Chapel President

and interview him/her and find out from him/her what projects in the
context of community structures, community dynamics and community
processes have been successfully implemented by the youth in the
Barangay.

List down all what he/she shares to you during the interview. Write it in
a sheet of paper.
