Tyler Clementi Story

1.  Who is responsible for Tyler's Death? Perhaps more than one person is responsible? You may want to place responsibility based on percentage. Some examples of who may hold responsibility are, Tyler himself, Tyler’s Parents, Dharun Ravi, Molly Wei, or even Rutger’s university?

I believe Dharun and Wei are responsible for Tyler’s death, because if they wouldn’t have broadcasted Tyler’s sexual activity he would not felt ashamed and trapped for people’s comments, so he would not have taken that decision and he would have time to assimilate his situation and have a normal life.

2.  Is there something that could have been done to prevent this?  It seems like some people watched the posted video, why didn't anyone step up?

I do not think there's anything it could be done to prevent this unfortunate fact. Today’s people are not interested in other people's well-being only in their own, even if they see a dangerous situation, simply don’t do anything to help who is in that situation.

3. How do you think that anti-bullying laws will impact cases like this?

I think the authorities should severely punish those who bully no matter if they are children, adolescents, or adults. One way or another we have to learn to respect others. Nobody has the right to ridicule, harass, or hurt the feelings of other people, and I consider that if they do it, have to face the consequences.

1.  Is professor Grossman off the mark when he says “I tell my classes that if they just do what they are supposed to do and meet the standard requirements, that they will earn a C,” he said. “That is the default grade. They see the default grade as an A.” why?
 No, I think he's not. Because students think that just by attending classes and doing their assignments, they will earn a grade of A. But I think that a grade of A should be earn if the students learned the class's outcomes.



2.  What do you think is causing students to feel entitled to receive a good grade? Is it because a grade of A is now the expected default for "average" work where in reality a grade of A denotes "above average"?  Are the students prior experiences in high school or earlier the cause?  Are parents to cause "my child is perfect so it must be the instructors fault"?  
I think the cause is the experiences in high school and for the pressure of parents.



3.  Give your honest opinion of the article.  Do you feel you deserve grades based on your effort or is it that you earned the grade you receive because of your effort?  Anything else you would like to add?
I would like to receive a grade for the effort put on a class, but I sincerely think that a grade should be earn depending on what the student really learned from that class.
