The Revealers

In the novel, The Revealers, the students of Parkland Middle felt connected through SchoolStream or as the students called it KidNet where they were able to chat or instant message. Most of you do this nightly through MSN Messenger. With KidNet and MSN nobody could break into or eavesdrop on your conversation without it being known. Not anymore. Today’s technology allows you to assume the identity of another person. Do you really know whom you are talking to in the cyber world?

It is 10:00 pm on a Wednesday night; you have finished your homework and you are chatting on MSN with three other friends. After 10 minutes two more friends ask to join the chat. By 10:30 pm five more people have joined and it is fun; however, there is a joke said about one of the people, rapidly followed by an insult. At first, no one knows how to respond, then seconds later a message pops up stating, “I didn’t say that! It isn’t me saying these things. Someone is using my name. What is going on here?”

\\\\\\\\What is the issue involved in this scenario? Why is this serious?

What would be a responsible way to handle this situation?

How could a situation like this be resolved? How would one of the three main characters from The Revealers deal with this situation?
Blog Answer:
Well the issue involved in this scenario is that someone on MSN that is using some other person's name to say bad comments and insults, and this is serious because it would give other people that were on the conversation a bad impression on the person and no one wants that.
Well an responsible way to handle the situation is that instead of being all open about it go to the people that were on the conversation and explain to them how is was not you.
This situation could be resolved by maybe doing an investigation like in the book The Revealers, and also the three main characters from the book would deal with the situation is by putting the story of the incident on KidNet
