Outside of The New York Times, in writing, we had a peer review where I was able to read and suggest ideas to another student. This task helped me in my own writing in the way that it mad me think about what elements did this student us that I could use in my own paper. This made an important impact on me because it helped me make my writing stronger as well as helping someone else make a strong paper.

Within The New York Times, I read an article over sharing on social media between the family. The article “Don’t Post About Me on Social Media, Children Say” discusses the reactions of parents and children when it come to sharing photos of each other and life moments. The children were the most outspoken when it came to not wanting their pictures to be shared. This creates the argument of what is OK to share and what isn’t and should parents share the early moments of a child’s life before they can give consent. The article opened my eyes to this issue because I have never thought of it that people could have a problem with their parents sharing funny or special moments in their children’s lives. I see the point of the children in that they want to monitor their digital identity but I also see the side that the parents have a right to share their story that happens to include their children. I agree that the parents should think further in advance when deciding what to share and post. Also, the possibility of not allowing their children’s friends to follow these account in order to avoid embarrassing remarks towards the parent posts.
