1. Do you think Millersville University was justified in disqualifying Stacy from earning her teaching degree because of her profile page? Why, or why not?
- That wasnt a right choice to make because they dont even know what was in her cup,and she was not on the campus when she drank whatever was in the cup.

2. How would the situation be different if the context of the photo were taken into account? For instance: What if the caption of the photo was not “Drunken Pirate,” but “Happy Halloween” or “My friend forced me to wear this pirate hat”? What if a post accompanying the photo said that it had been taken at a child’s birthday party and Stacy was drinking punch?
- I think that they really wouldn't of cared.

3. What if Stacy’s friend Joe had posted the picture of Stacy without her knowing it, and tagged her with the “Drunken Pirate” caption. Does the fact that Joe posted the picture change the situation? Why or why not?
- I think yes , because she didnt have no idea that she would be one that was tagged in the photo and she wouldnt have taken it if she knew.

4. Does Joe have a responsibility to ask Stacy before he posts (and tags) a picture of her? Do other people, including strangers who come across the photo online, have the responsibility to check with Stacy before they tag or repost the photo? Why, or why not?
-Yeah he should of asked her before posting it. People are not going to care what they do but they should ask her cause its a picture of her.
