MODULE I - GATHERING AND PROCESSING INFORMATION

1. Read the extract below carefully and then answer the questions that follow

Sexting teens sending sexually explicit photos of themselves via cellphones has
-
become the latest in a line of highly charged issues involving kids and the internet. A 2008- study
commissioned by the National Campaign to Prevent Teenage and Unplanned Pregnancy and
Cosmogirl.com has claimed that out of every five teens, one has sent nude or serni-nude photos
s of himself or herself, although at least one academic has questioned this finding. High-tech has
created a new low. Cellphones and e-mails have changed the way we communicate but have
led to dangerous and destructive behaviours. Many hapless victims open a Pandora's box of
embarrassment and disgrace once they, of their own free will, hit the 'send' key.

What is certain is that the media has jumped on this potentially explosive phenomenon with
l0 banner headlines and urgent commentary. Jessica Logan, 18, from Ohio, was a pretty, vivacious,
outgoinghighschool student. Lastyearshesentanudepictureofherselftoherthenboyfriend
who prompily forwarded it on to a group of girls after he and Jessica split up. What had been
intended as private and intimate became public and the source of a barrage of humiliating e-mails,
texts and slurs. The cyberbullying, in this case, led, tragically, to Jessica taking her own life'
lS Teens may think they know and can trust a friend, but can they really understand and trust others
who like themselvesmay have problems with impulse control or who are prone to exercising bad
judgement?

But what accounts for this disturbing phenomenon? First, the central problem with this
and similar cases is that the victim knowingly created the very image later used to bully, harass
20 and humiliate her, once it had been distributed by hertrusted 'friend'. Second, it has been argued
that girls and young women are put under huge peer pressure by boys to send them nude shots
of
themlelves. Third, others simply see this as an outgrowth of our highly sexualized culture, with
sexual themes being ever present in movies, music and on TV. Disturbingly also, some teens see
this as .cool'or'just a bit of fun,'oblivious of the consequences, emotionally, socially and in the
25 eyes of the law.
There are some legislators who are seeking to 'make a point'by actively prosecuting cases
of sexting using child pornography laws to arrest and charge the kids for producing, distributing
and possission of these images. That's exactly what happened to Phillip Alpert, an I 8-year-old
from Florida, according to t[e Miami Herald. He ruined his lif'e by circulating nude pictures of
30 his l6-year-old girlfriend (which she had sent him), by sexting them to his friends, her friends, and
her family. Uaving been so charged, these young people are then put on the Registered Sexual
Offenders list with all the lifelong ramifications that designation has. lt would be better to
follow
the UK model of cautioning the kids involved and promoting counselling and community service
as a way to sanction them rather than put thern in jail and throw away the key. It makes no
35 -
sense to throw away the baby with the bath water.

Rather than arresting, expelling or suspending our way out of this problem, it would be
-l
good to begin an urgent dialogue with our own kids about this and to point out the repercussions
of sexting. And we should encourage our teens, in what is known as the 'social norms'approach,
to identify with the four in five and to act responsibly and delete the photos when they receive
40 them. To honour the memory of Jessica, we should use her tragic case as a teaching moment and
begin a dialogue with our kids about the unintended consequences of going too far online.

2. Read the extract below carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

Edward didn't give up painting, but he no longer offered to paint things for us, and I think
most people were relieved. He entered some poster competition, and when his design didn't win
even a consolation prize, he grew really angry with Trinidad.

One Sunday he said, "l was stupid to send in anything I paint with my own two hands for
s Trinidad people to judge. What they know about anything? Now, if I was in America, it woulda
be different. The Americans is people. They know about things."

To hear Edward talk, you felt that America was a gigantic country inhabited by giants.
They lived in enormous houses and they drove in the biggest cars of the world.

Edward used to say, "Look at Miguel Street. ln America you think they have streets so
l0 narrow? [n America this street could pass for a sidewalk."

One night I walked down with Edward to Docksite, in the American army camp. Through
the barbed wire you could see the huge screen of an open-air cinema.

Edward said, "You see the sort of theatre they come and build in a stupid little place like
Trinidad. Imagine the sort of thing they have in the States."

ls And we walked down a little further until we came to a sentry in his box.

Edward used his best American accent and said, "What's cooking, Joe?"

To my surprise the sentry, looking fierce under his helmet, replied, and in no time at all
Edward and the sentry were talking away, each trying to use more swear words than the other.

When Edward came back to Miguel Street he began swaggering along and he said to me,
20 "Tell them. Tell them how good I does get on with the Americans."

And when he was with Hat he said, "Was talking the other night with a American
-damn
good friend he was telling me that as soon as the Americans enter the war the war go end."
-and
Adaptedfrom VS. Naipaul, Miguel Street.
