The statement 'NO TO COP CITIES' and the accompanying conversation and image constitute public discourse as they engage with a public issue, specifically the opposition to the construction of a police training facility in Queens, NYC. The tone of the statement and the image is confrontational and expresses strong opposition to the proposed project.
- The statement and image use strong language and imagery that could be seen as inflammatory and potentially harmful. The phrase 'THIS MEANS WAR' and the explicit language directed at the mayor do not strive to do no harm and could escalate tensions. (-2 points) [-2]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
- The explicit language and aggressive tone do not respect the dignity of others, particularly the mayor, and could be seen as a form of harassment. (-2 points) [-2]Principle 2:I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
- While the statement and image express a clear stance, they do not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. The confrontational approach may alienate those who might otherwise be open to dialogue. (-1 point) [-1]Principle 3:I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
- The statement and image do not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. Instead, they use personal attacks and aggressive language, which detracts from a productive discussion on the issue. (-2 points) [-2]Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
