What is Cyber-bullying?
Here I am planning on giving a detailed explanation of what cyber-bullying is. This will provide readers with an understanding of what I am going to explore in my blog post. To read about bullying, you must first understand what exactly it is. In addition, I will also explain the negative relationship between empathy and cyber-bullying. I have been provided by Professor Yaros with an excellent study that provides evidence to the truth behind this relationship.
These days, adults have endured bullying too.
This will be where most of the "beef" in my post will be found. Under this sub-heading, I will have to supply the reader with facts and visuals showing how bullying is NOT an issue reserved solely for children and young-adults. A survey I have found shows that 1 in every 6 adults suffer from bullying in the workplace. Statistics like the one previously mentioned will further the readers understanding of the facts. Then I will explain how bullying is not just limited to people with an average lifestyle, but to those in high-profile situations, as well. This will flow perfectly into my next sub-heading which is.....

Even the National Football League is riddled with a bullying problem.
This section will also provide a majority of the "beef" in my e-portfolio post. I will discuss the case that occurred in the Miami Dolphins organization in recent weeks. Richie Incognito, a player of the Dolphins, reportedly continuously hazed and bullied fellow teammate and position-mate Jonathan Martin. Also, I will explain how it is probably not a coincidence that Incognito was voted the league's dirtiest player at one point in time. The importance in this situation is that it wasn't just one incident that caused Martin to take a leave of absence, however, a string of incidents that added up and eventually caused Martin to break.

Did the media exaggerate the harm Incognito caused?
This will be the final "beef" section in my post. I am planning on interviewing Kevin Blackistone on this subject to gain his insight into the bullying issue in places such as professional sports. I will look into the fact of whether the use of the "N" word in a text message sent form Incognito to Martin inflamed the situation exponentially. I will also grill my interviewee on their thoughts on the topic. I have a couple articles that will provide sufficient information to discuss on this subject.

I like your topic. The outline is very detailed and I like how you included information that would like to explain further in your final eportfolio. The positioning of the interview questions, graphic, and videos are appropriate and would be great addition to your blog. The statistics and data are great to provide evidential support especially since most people may not think that adults can be bullied as well. The only con I notice is that two of your subheadings are in question form. I look forward to reading your final posting!
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I noticed, your subheadings were too conversational. I do not think starting a subheading with "These days, or Even.." are appropriate words that add substance to your headings or your blog post.
ReplyDeleteYour topic seems very interesting and I like how you are using a very specific example to talk about adult bullying. My only question is, is the only sign of cyber bullying from Incognito the text message? If so, I think the example of Incognito would not be as effective. I think your section on the media and their reaction to this situation will be very effective and further make your point to the audience. I may be wrong but I believe Profesor Yaros said to never end an ePortfolio with video or media content. Overall, I think your ideas for your final ePortfolio are well laid out and framed really well.
