People look to see if others are keeping up with the latest trends, buying the most expensive clothes, or simply just matching their clothes well. Clothes are an important part of our personalities, as we see with the protests of many against uniforms at school due to the fact that they take away our freedom of expression. However, clothes are just barely a part of who we really are and do not deserve to be judged so harshly.]]> 2017-09-06 19:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185300875 parmidaf1238 https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185303376 There are internet lists of sexual predators who have commit crimes in the past that mark them for life. While sex offenders who performed actual morally incorrect crimes, such as rape and sexual harassment should be marked with a scarlet letter to shame their actions. This is due to the fact that they harm others. However, some crimes that caused you to be on that list have nothing to do with harming others, and therefore they should not define a person for life.  ]]> 2017-09-06 19:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185303376 parmidaf1238 https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185359204 Murder and rape are both things that most definitely place a scarlet letter that symbolizes no moral integrity and someone that is extremely sinful. People who commit such crimes deserve to be judged based on their actions as they have passed the point of no return and harmed others in the process. In such cases their actions are so heinous that they do define them as people. ]]> 2017-09-07 02:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185359204 parmidaf1238 https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185360967 Social media in this day and age is the modern version of the scarlet letter. People shame, judge, and bully others without even a second thought on social media due to the fact that they are masked by a cyber barrier. Actions stay on the internet forever and allow people to be judged far more easily than they ever were in Puritan times. ]]> 2017-09-07 02:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/parmidaf1238/zjw6q32uedl3/wish/185360967
