Then, write two paragraphs explaining why it is important to be respectful on the Internet. How does being respectful on the Internet also translate into being respectful in real life? Also explain why things on the Internet might not be totally private. Do you think it was right for these people to lose their jobs?

Please email me these paragraphs using gaggle.
