I think we've lost respect in our society.....we've become a culture of people that do not take into effect that words can destroy a person and once they are out there there is no getting them back!
This week I read that a young man jumped off a bridge because his privacy was violated, he was filmed secretely and it was posted all over the internet. Really, was that prank worth his life? The two 18 year old college students that did these postings are now heading to jail! Two more lives destroyed....I bet they never imagined this would happen...
People send out emails that deal with sensitive personal issues and it never comes across how they intended it and its amazing that they don't see the message that actually comes across to others is not what they thought...too late its out there....
Then you have people posting their utmost feelings and all the while gossiping about others on facebook and all along they don't realize that those same words can destroy someone's reputation. Also, they don't realize that they could be slapped with a lawsuit for defamation of character... Something that could ruin their own lives in the process.
All these things are lack of respect....
There are all sorts of consequences to what you email, to what you post, to what you say....
Be careful....
