Annotation2 - Human Flesh Search often crosses the boundary of hurting people

[Annotation2]
   
 In my reading in tutorial by a guy named Hsiao Long Lee on the Internet, I found out that Human Flesh Search starts and ends in four categories, which are the motivation as well as the outcome are both rightful, the motivation is rightful but the outcome is foulness, the motivation as well as the outcome are both foulness, and the motivation is foulness but the outcome is rightful. That is, the motivation of an Human Flesh Searching incident might be proper and correct; however, the outcome is very possible to be contorted. Or even if the motivation is incorrect and the outcome accidentally turns out to be right, the improper motivation still makes the whole incident become foulness. People in the event most likely will change from righteous net pals into Internet mobs. When they are searching the suspects, they will reveal all the personal details such as his or her family or address on purpose, which will cause serious privacy problems. Not to mentioned the motivation as well as the outcome are both foulness category. In this kind of event, the net pals tend to be under educated.
   
    Human tends to forget what their original purpose is, when they are searching the person they want, they tend to reveal all the things about the person. This will indeed turn a justice into a scandal. Everyone wants to be paparazzi, but where is the real fact and truth? This will seriously causes severe moral and public profit problem. In my reading, I know that if Human Flesh Search is based on subservience, which can do well with the society, it won’t be illegal. However, many of the events tend out seriously affecting the suspects life. Although, the suspects might truly do harm to the society; however, what the Internet mobs have done is another way of harming the society. By the convenience of the media, the incident will turn out more and more complicated, and the truth will easily be covered by the mobs. The society will also turn out to be panic due to the privacy problem. Most people that accept the message mostly don’t think deeper about the accuracy. That is to say, they tend to gather together to create a disturbance and causes great pain to the victims especially the suspect’s family. Therefore it is not easy to hold the benevolent motivation in order not to become non-rational and gossiping mobs.

    So I don't agree with flesh search.

  2. I agree with your thought. Human Flesh Search is a new thing, thus, there should be more laws to restrict it. Although it is kind of justice behavior, it usually goes too over. Originally the purpose of Human Flesh Search is to find out the criminal, however, it easily develop to destroy the person by public his everything. And this aslo harm the people around the criminal.

  4. I think you had picked a difficult topic to write with. The term human flesh search includes many aspects inside. For example privacy, justice and desire. I think you can write more deep meanings in your annotation. After all I think you did an excellent job. Keep up with it!!!!

  5. I think the explanation of the 4 categories are tedious.
    You write a lot but I only see one main point--the privacy problem.

    the wrong tense:
    Not to "mention" the motivation as well as the outcome are both foulness category.

  6. I think that you can slow down the speed to make the presentation more clear. Although some original intentions of Human flesh search are good, the process and the consequence cannot be controlled. It can become a tool to harm the society.
