Though the waters stay raging in this maze

The Bullying Pulpit- NYTimes.com
I agree, that many people say things on the internet, behind the screen, that they would not say in person straight to another person’s face. And many people fail to “think before they type” when jumping into a discussion or argument. Once you have stated your quickly-made judgment, it is extremely hard to take back or to know who has read it. Those that say cruel, mean things can get away with it much easier, without the immediate reprimanding that they may receive in face to face conversation. This may be cause for the continuing of rude comments and statements, seeing that instead of realizing the negative affect words can have on real people, it is an environment in which others can join in on the bullying without punishment. We need to be aware that cyber bullying is a real and serious thing that horribly affects many people's lives.


It’s true, that if someone is not getting the job done, they don’t deserve the job. People should be rewarded for taking responsibility and governing themselves to be efficient and trust-worthy.  For some, staying in the office is the only way to really be motivated to work, knowing that other co-workers and bosses are watching. But if that’s the way they are, unable to get anything done outside of the office, are they really the ones you want to keep working for you? Responsibility should in fact be rewarded with freedom, but the only way to see if they deserve the reward, is to allow them that chance to prove themselves and use the wonderful mobile technologies of this century. Also, having the option of choosing where you prefer to work can be a great stress reliever and even a motivation to work harder where you are, because you've been given the choice.
