Round Table Summary

Sometime ago we made a round table debate in my classroom, in wich my classmates and me discussed the topic of social networks and how they affect our society.

We mostly talked about three topics:

1) Cyber-bullying.

2) why does people act differently on the internet?.

3) the way people act on the internet vs the way they act in reality.

At first we touched one of the major dangers in the internet, cyber-bullying we talked about the different consecuences that thus could bring, being suicide one of the most alarming ones, then we questioned the reasons of the bullies, wich led us to the second topic, we concluded that the annonimity gave the users a sense of liberty that caused them to think that their actions on the net have no consequences, also the need of people to be and say the things thaey cannot say in a physicall social circle, and from this conclution we got to our final topic, where we discussed wether or not people act like a different person on social networks and why, sadly this question could not be answered because we lacked of time, but it was an intresting debate overall.
