As it turned out, a small commuter plane had decided to land without taking account of our aircraft, so the pilot had had to make a quick move.

Responsibility in public speech is a value we hold self-evident

Op-Ed Columnist – Stung by the Perfect Sting – NYTimes.com
Primary and secondary schools are increasingly being asked to teach
about cyber bullying and being held to discipline students who
perpetrate bullying of other students on the net. If a student stood on
a soapbox in a school yard and started yelling epithets we would expect
the adults in the school to take action. The fact is you don’t stand on
a soapbox anonymously, and we do have expectations in our culture about
public speech that should be applied to the web.

The Last Post – Due Tuesday, 1pm Sharp.
May 21, 2009 | | 2 Comments
This semester we have focused on four points of inquiry: 1. the media in all its forms (print, television, internet); 2. the nature of public conversation; 3. the internet as a means of establishing a voice in that conversation; and 4. the value of standards for how your voice is expressed (our thrust being that we can disagree and remain respectful and that good expression, attention to writing/speaking well, is a value that makes us more productive in conversation).
Choose an item from today’s headlines. Evaluate the public conversation according the first three items listed above. You should include media links within your discussion for support. Part of how I evaluate your blog will have to do with the fourth item.
There could be no riper topic for this prompt than Thursday’s speeches by, first, President Obama, and then by former Vice President Cheney.
