Should Students be expected not to curse on the internet?
It depends on the situation.
In my opinion, people do not know when to use appropriate language, due to the fact that they have no common sense. If you know that your teacher or parent or boss is a follower of your twitter account, or friend on Facebook, why would you swear? In fact, why would you do anything inappropriate at all? It just doesn't make sense.
It is not hard to understand that there are times to swear,
and times to act appropriate.
The way to solve this problem is to not swear on the internet.
However, if you find it so difficult to use appropriate language, that it is impossible, there are other solutions. If you really cant contain yourself, make a personal account on either twitter or Facebook, or whatever you use, and do not involve your superiors.
If you cannot keep your personal life and professional life separate, there is a problem.
Businesses do not want to hire someone with a Facebook/Twitter account filled with profanity.
Keep it to yourself. Keep it to your friends. Keep it away from your superiors.
It really isn't that hard.
Okay, I know you cannot really read the words, but the idea of pros and cons is there.
Should you swear online , and risk your superiors seeing it?
I recommend just not swearing online. It is the easiest way.
According to this website,
- 47% of our users have profanity on their Facebook Wall.
- 80% of our users who have profanity on their Facebook Wall have at least one post/comment with profanity from a friend.
- 56% of the posts/comments with profanity on a user’s Facebook Wall come from friends.
- Users are twice as likely to use profanity in a post on their Facebook Wall, versus a comment. Whereas friends are twice as likely to use profanity in a comment on a user’s Facebook Wall, versus a post.
- The most common profane word is derivations of the “f-word”. The second most common profane word is derivations of the word “sh*t”. ”B*tch” is a distant third.
.... That is quite a bit of profanity
