Problem solution essay outline

Main Problem: Large influx of Cyber bullying cases amongst teenagers and adolescents

Affected Target group/stakeholder : Teenagers and adolescents in school

Agent of Change/stakeholder : Ministry of Education, Schools, Family of the bullied and Family of the bully

Solution 1 : Law by the government that states cyber stalking and cyber bullying is now an offense and actions can be taken against cyber bullies. Victims of cyber bullying can now sue for damage compensation and file to court for personal protection.

Evaluation 1 : Cyber bullies now have to face consequences for their actions. They will think twice before acting but it all depends on whether the cyber bully is sensible enough to think for themselves.

Solution 2 (my solution) : To enforce more on this law and take a more active approach to sieve out those cyber bullies instead of just coming up with a law that states cyber bullying is an offense. Much like in one of the show in the US "To Catch a Predator". Where people actually act as adolescents to lure out pedophiles. Ministry of Education can do the same where teachers can take the names of unpopular students in school on the internet to lure out potential cyber bullies. After catching the black sheep, they can be called up to the stage in front of the whole school during assembly to be reprimanded. This will instill fear onto the cyber bullies, even those who are not caught will think twice before they act.

Evaluation 2 : Those who are not caught will also have the fear that they might be next. Punishment is a psychological type that makes the cyber bully feel a sense of shame. It is more severe especially to teenage cyber bullies as they will be criticized by their peers since they will be made infamous.

Thesis: Because of the increase use of social media amongst the teenagers, there is an increase in cyber bullying cases since explicit and detailed information can be retrieved fairly easily by anyone. Ministry of education should play a part in educating teenagers regarding the dangers of social media as every teenager will receive education at some point of time in their lives.
