"At the end of the day when it comes to the health and welfare of a child or any other human being I would hope we all would be mindful of them in our prayers regardless of what we perceive to be right to wrong". We should focus o a person's safety and well being than worry about blame. This young child was over heated on a school bus and the people were blaming the bus driver for the accident who wasn't aware of the child's condition. It seems ridiculous that the parents didn't inform the bus driver. This child had gone through kemo-therapy after being diagnosed with cancer,  he could not stand the intense heat of the bus. It would have been easier to take your child to and from school, that way you can keep your child safe rather than place to responsibility on a bus driver who has to watch other kids and is not informed of your child's health issues. A child's foundation page had been turned to a bashing on a bus driver. This kid has been through enough, he doesn't want his life to be a argument that no one had any control over. He was a victim but the driver isn't at fault. We can blame all we want but that doesn't matter in the end. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225026 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225227 Gayle Scherger's article, "Sometimes, Good People Behave Badly", focuses on how easily people will turn against one another, often without knowing why. We try to blame others for our problems rather than finding a solution to them. We tend to turn against one another, usually without really knowing why. "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life" (Scherger, 2014, 6a). What Scherger is saying is that often times we search for bad news for no reason. We seem to just naturally be attracted by bad news rather than good news. Scherger makes a great point, and we should make it a point to focus less on the bad and more on the good.]]> 2017-11-13 13:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225227 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225254 This article is all about mob mentality in today's society. The author also talks about how we as a society need to learn to hear both sides of a story fully before making judgement. In society today people always jump to conclusions, and not only do they jump to that conclusion they feel they need to protect who they perceive as the victim. Gayle Scherger noted, " At the first call of perceived injustice, hordes of people are ready to jump in with the ball bats swinging, hunting down the supposed offender, slap on the scarlet letter, wrap the noose, set fire to the stake and make the crown of thorns."(2014, Scherger, 6A). The author is showing the aggressive mentality these mobs that jump to conclusions have. Scherger is trying to tell his readers to stop jumping to people's "aid" when something happens, and to show them that we need to be fully informed of the entire situation before we begin making conclusions. We always need to make sure we know the whole story before we decide a villain of any story especially when making that uninformed assumption can cost someone their job and their livelihood. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225254 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225301 This article discusses the tendency of people to jump to conclusions without truly knowing the whole story, especially in today's media. Author of the article, Gayle Scherger, states, "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story" (Scherger, 2014). This statement accurately describes how the world reacts to the media today. Many people seem to gravitate toward the most awful, tragic versions of a story, even though it may not be the entire truth. There are rarely ever positive headlines on magazine covers or news stories because they want to attract the most attention from people. For some reason, people are just more drawn to stories involving tragedies. In the type of world we live in today with so much hate and violence, we should attempt to focus on more positive situations.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225301 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225317 The newspaper article explains how human will gang up on any one accused, even if there is no true hard evidence that they did anything wrong. It is just a human reaction to jump to a conclusion and mob up against the one accused. As stated in " These keyboard rioters were clicking away their opinions based on a very small part of the story" (6A, Tiffin Ohio,Friday, Sep. 19, 2014). In this exert from the article the author shows how people jump to a conclusion and begin criticizing one another. This is where everyone just needs to slowdown and find out whats going on then they can choose if they still believe its right to criticize the accused.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225317 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225330 This newspaper article is about mob mentality in society today. The author also talks about how we as a society to hear each side of a story before we start judging. In our society today people are always jumping to conclusions and feel as if they need get involved and help someone or protect them. Gayle Scherger noted, "At the first call of perceived injustice, hordes of people are ready to jump in with ball bats swinging, hunting down the supposal offender. slap on the scarlet letter, wrap the noose, set fire to the state and wake the crown of thorns." (2014, Scherger, 6A). The author shows these mobs have very aggressive mentalities and we jump to conclusions, Scherger is trying to tell us that there is no need to jump in and come to someones "rescue" when they face adversity, also to educate our selves on the whole subject before we jump to conclusions. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225330 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225335 In Gayle Scherger's article "Sometimes, even good people behave badly" she discusses that when we hear something bad we pretend that it is not liked and we don't want to see it. When in reality these are the thing humans are naturally drawn to, the bad news. According to Gayle Scherger, "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story" (2014, Scherger, 6A). Although the good things are nice to hear, people would much rather hear about the bad things on the news because it is more interesting and eye catching. It is believed that more bad and dramatic news is put out there over the good, when they should equally be published about.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225335 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225339 The argument presented in Scherger's "Sometimes, even good people behave badly" is people are attracted to drama and horror, and overreact to many events. As the author said, "We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story." (2014, Scherger Pg. 6) The author believes when bad news is told or drama is overheard we like to either insert ourselves in or our opinion long before we know anything about the story or what has truly happened. This is true of the human nature, because of ideals and the sense of entitlement today. People do crave drama, for example, soap operas and celebrities, even though soap operas are completely fake we still cling to them, and for how much information is revealed about celebrities we still don't truly know them or know what's going on in their life. Modern people crave this drama in order to make their own boring lives a little more interesting. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225339 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225372 People act like packs of dogs when it comes to problems in our community. In the article by Gayle Scherger she talks about how a bus driver lost their job because a child that they were not aware of that had something wrong with him, come home sweating badly, even though the windows and vents on the bus were open. "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story." (2014 Scherger) People in our communities are very much attracted to the little things that happen and make them a big deal. " It didn't need to involve humiliation, name-calling, somebody's job or worse, somebody's blood." (2014 Scherger) Therefore, after reading the article by Gayle Scherger, must people shouldn't get involved in others business and make something little into something huge. Jumping to conclusions doesn't help, people need to stop and think about what is actually happening.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225372 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225378 In an edition of The Advertiser-Tribune, Gayle Scherger discusses society's doglike reactions to seemingly unjust situations. When negativity strikes in the world, society tends to use it to get the attention it craves so much. In her article, she states, "We are an entitled society. If we have suffered any obstacle, loss or hardship, we kick and scream for attention that we so rightly deserve" (Scherger, 2014, 6A). People in society today tend to use even the smallest challenges or unjust experiences to bring attention to themselves. Our society needs to realize that some challenges require an individual to stop and assess their situation, not "kick and scream" for people to support them on social media.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225378 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225417 Being under the influence of a group of people can effect what a person does and how they act. It is easy for someone to see an issue from only the group's point of view. Gayle Scherger states, "At the first call of perceived injustice, hordes of people are ready to jump in with ball bats swinging, hunting down the supposed offender, slap on the scarlet letter, wrap the noose, set fire to the stake and make the crown of thorns" (Scherger, 2014, p. 6a). She refers to how many people can act heinously when news arrives, especially when others have reacted in a similar fashion. People still react this way even if they have only heard one side of the story. Scherger and I share the same opinion of this subject as it is unreasonable to jump to conclusions and picking sides on an issue without hearing the whole story.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225417 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225426 In this day and age the public is too quick to comment violent things about situations they are aren't even fully aware of. Some of the nicest people have such ugly sides to them on social media. Author of the article, Gayle Scherger, stated, "These keyboard rioters were clicking away their opinion based on a very small part of the story" (Scherger, 2014, 6A). This small statement describes pretty much the whole world today. Too many people jump to conclusions and say terrible things. We need to actually be educated on the specific situation before we attempt to include our opinions in it. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225426 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225431 Whether we want to admit it or not, we are all drawn toward bad news. We can pretend that we don't want to hear it, but as humans we are curious. "The occasional feel good story is nice, but what we want to know is what's going on in the latest world-news murder trail. A heinous criminal will get well more than their 15 minutes of fame, while no one even remembers the name of the person going the extra mile to help his neighbor past the 30-second segment on the evening news" (Scherger, 2014, 6A). The stories of sadness and turmoil always get the most attention. There is some primal instinct inside of us that makes horrible stories peak our interest. Maybe we are drawn to them to make our everyday problems seem less urgent. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225431 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225457 People like to make situations wore than they really are, and fight anyone that opposes them. "What is even more sad is we create drama and unrest where it just isn't wanted."  (Scherger 6A) This quote is saying that people blow things out of proportion and make things worse than they already are. The whole situation with the bus could've been way less if people wouldn't have been so dramatic about it. People made a scene just so they could get attention. People want attention, that's why the blow things up and lash out at anyone who they think is wrong.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225457 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225473 The problem with people today is that they attend to assume the worst in any situation. "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story." People are prone to believing the worst without even knowing the full story. For example, in the article, it talks about a boy with cancer who got really hot on the bus. Everyone was eager to jump on the bus drivers case, saying she "should be charged with abuse" for letting that happen to a child. Now, the bus driver didn't break any laws and she was unaware that the child had a problem with heat. Yet everyone said that it was automatically her fault just because of an eye-catching news article they seen. Once they learned the whole story, they quickly changed opinions of what they thought of her. People should not jump to conclusions without knowing the whole thing about a situation.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225473 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225528 The issue with people is that we always go to the worst conclusions and behave/act in ways we really should not. "We seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story." This quote means that we are fast to be judgmental about something before we actually know the entire story. Like the example in the article of the boy with cancer, the bus driver did not know he had an issue with his heart. She did not do anything wrong to make him hot; others were so quick to assume and think the absolute worst. When they heard the entire story, they had then changed their thoughts about the bus driver. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225528 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225554 In Gayle Scherger's article in sometimes good people behave badly Scherger discusses about good people behaving badly. She discusses about how Michael Brown a young man that got shot to death and about Sam Roszman the boy with cancer and heat issues comes home drenched in sweat from school. Scherger goes on to talk about how the bus driver didn't know about Sam's health issue and how Sam's page on facebook prayers for Sam got turned into where people attacked the school bus driver like in the following quote "she's just a bus drive,... Probably uneducated... should be charged with abuse''(2014, Scherger, pg 6a). I believe mistakes happen but this mistake could've been handled in a better way and didn't have to involve humiliation to the school bus driver on social media and a risk of that bus driver losing his or her job.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225554 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225555 The problem with people is that we always jump to the worst conclusions and behave in ways we shouldn't. "we seem to be attracted to the dark side of life. We seem to crave the bad news, the horror story." This means we are so quick to be judgmental about something before we even know the whole story. Like in the article of the boy with cancer, the bus driver didn't know he had a problem with heat and she didn't do anything wrong to make him hot, but people people were so quick to assume the worst about the bus driver without even knowing the whole story and didn't even stop to think maybe it wasn't her fault. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225555 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225574 People tend to join angry bandwagons with little information on a subject. A lack of understanding can cause mass panic and personal attacks. "At the first call of a perceived injustice, hordes of people are ready to jump in with ball bats swinging" (scherger, 6A). People will post act hostilely towards one another even for misunderstandings. It is uncivilized to jump to conclusions and take action before understanding what it is you're supposed to be angry about]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225574 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225587 The biggest problem with the world is that people jump to conclusions and never ask questions and just assume whats going on without knowing the story. "Whats even more sad is we create drama and unrest where it just isn't warranted. We are entitled society."(2014,Scherger,6A) This quote affects everyone in the world. People find out the smallest information and low it up more than what it should be. They add information that isn't there is the first place to make the story worse. The example in the newspaper article is about a young boy who has cancer and a side effect was having a heat sensitivity problem While he was on the bus the bus driver had kept the heat on not knowing about his problem.  When word got out people were so quick to say things like she was uneducated and should be charged with abuse. After the whole story came out and they learned that she was unaware with his heat sensitivity problem and that there was windows down to cool off the bus people were willing to make ends meet with what happened.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225587 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225702 The article is about a kid who has cancer and a bus driver. The issue everyone has is that on a hot day, the kid who is very sensitive to heat was stuck riding the hot bus and was miserable dripping in sweat. Everyone is quick to blame the bus driver. They would say things like, "She's just a bus driver, probably uneducated." (2014, Sherger,6a).This is wrong to be shaming the bus driver all over social media without knowing the whole story or looking at the situation as a whole. ]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225702 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225875 In the news paper article it talks about a child woth cancer who gets to hot riding a bus. People then started attacking the the bus driver on social media. This is not right.People should not be so quick to judge other people. They do not know the whole atory they just want to make themselves feel as if they are better than the other person who made the mistake one of the critics even went as far to say,"she's just a bus driver...probably uneducated"(2014,sherger,6a). How can any one assume that about someone when they know nothing about them. people just need to be quiet and mind there own bussiness.]]> 2017-11-13 13:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225875 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225904 This article states that even the most innocent of individuals do not always behave properly or nicely. Our interest in bad topics can sometimes get the best of us. "Yet, we are so willing to jump on a side and take our stand, long before we know the whole story." (Scherger, 2014) They are saying that people a lot of times don't wait to hear the whole story before jumping to conclusions. This is the truth, as everyday we witness people jumping on one side of a story/issue before all of the details are even released]]> 2017-11-13 13:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206225904 https://padlet.com/cwarner/o5jjwplx07sm/wish/206232065 The article begins by outlining events that support the authors claim that good people act badly when they can. It continues by explaining and the author giving their opinion on the local school bus incident. In the article the author says “At the first call of perceived injustice, hoards of people are ready to jump in with ball bats swinging”(2014, Gayle Scherger, 6A). It is a statement that is not pleasant to agree with but is ultimately true. With many controversial beliefs, ideas, and events happening in the world today, it is hard not to see examples of this.

There was a Facebook page that wanted support for the kid but it turned into the people bashing the bus driver for having the school bus too hot. One quote from the story was, : She's just a bus driver.... probably uneducated". It could of been just an honest mistake and misunderstanding, but there is no reason for everybody to attack the bus driver on  social media.
