How Controlling Values Work in Everyday Life
Controlling values are what govern our individual and group worldviews. They describe our ideas and maxims that dictate how we approach problems in society. The basis for which we set up controlling values are as simple as problems and solutions.
Cyberbullying is a tricky issue to tackle with regard to controlling values because of the emotions involved with them. My group and our professor developed this network in class that we believe accurately describes the actions and reactions that happens when we hear about yet another suicide in the news caused by some form of bullying. As you can see, while everyone might agree that harassing people online, especially teens, is a horrible thing to do, there are argument that suggest that keeping the bullies in check is a restriction on their digital freedom and hence their lives.
Lots of gray area, basically.
