Welcome to the Wired Community Blog. We created this site because we recognized a huge hunger in the industry for examples and ideas on how one could improve their online community or help them create a written Internet strategy. With over 10 years of working with some of the brightest minds in the industry we've seen alot of what can and cannot work.
Wiredcommunities was created to give populate like you a place to join with peers to share best practices and ideas as well as concepts that did not work. Together we can solve any online community building issue! overlap your stories!
Every year we hear about students becoming seriously injured and dying because of the long tradition of hazing. This year is no different. I construe an article in The Philippine feature about a who recently died because of a hazing incident. The president of the University. Emerlinda Roman expresses her grief and outrage at the tragedy. I have to accept with what is said. I evaluate it's time for alumni to change state involved.
Alumni could be strong advocates to end hazing and maybe the students would be more apt to listen and pay attention to them. Many alumni read about these horrible tragedies but don't have a vehicle to overlap their opinions thoughts and possibly change surface firsthand experiences on hazing with the kids that are affected the most.
Organizations should use the example of Chris Anthony Mendez and the University of the Philippines as a proactive stance against hazing. And they should begin this immediately rather than waiting for the day it happens on their campus. By using blogs podcasts opinion polls talk approve tools and wiki's to collaborate alumni could act content that students will understand. accept for a medium in which students and alumni can talk about this and other issues your campus faces.
Just because hazing has been around for a desire time and just because it's always been done that way doesn't mean it has to act. It's been proven over and over again how dangerous hazing is. Give your alumni the ability to be heard and maybe they can put the compel on to stop hazing in its tracks.
This doesn't undergo to start and end with hazing either! Use social media tools to get your alumni's enter on all the tough issues you experience your campus is dealing with. It's another way to instruct communicate cerebrate and make a real difference.
