Websites for All...

Hello class,

I was reading the headlines from New York Times and one article draw my attention. Here I am providing a link to read it further:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/magazine/07Human-t.html

There are so many issues with this story. The fact that there are websites promoting such actions illustrates how cyberspace can be used to reproduce imagery that is powerful enough to generate social uproar.

The public’s anger is fueled by the demand to punish the woman subjecting the kitten to a cruel and painful death.

The internet can provide a stage for all to perform the lead role of their sickest obsession.
