Article: “Mum’s catching up with me … on Facebook”– ‘Home’ Section (Pg B2)

1) What were the reasons given by Facebook parent, Rashida Husian, when she requests access to the networking sites and also to what her children had put online?

Ans:

- Facebook parent, Rashida Husian, main reason to requests access to the networking sites is to keep in touch with her children to leaves them words of encouragement when they need some. Also, she befriended 10 of her children’s friend on the websites, but only their closest friends and those she met in person.

2) Do you think it is a good idea to accept requests by your parents to add them readily to your friends’ list on the Facebook? Why?

Ans:

- It’s not a good idea to add requests by my parents to add them readily to my friends’ list on the Facebook as parents should respect their children privacy and give children more ‘space’. However, if my parent wants to add me, I would not feel objective as there is nothing to hide.
