This article shows that people's perceptions of government and their websites changed little during the past year. ForeSee Results, the Michigan-based company that did the supporting research, emphasizes the importance in individuals' satisfaction with government transparency. A table in the article shows a correlation between a person's satisfaction with an agency's transparency and their trust in that agency. I found this article interesting as this is any area with many ethical and moral issues.

This article covers research by Turku University on the effects of cyberbullying. The text explains the possible negative effects that online bullying can have on the victims as well as the bullies themselves. I found it interesting and somewhat sad that teens can't get away from bullies anymore-- while being home and out of school was often a getaway from bothersome peers, that is becoming less and less the case.
