In the case study "It's Over" by Britt Hainstock, the two characters, Kim and Jordan broke a couple of rules. Kim broke Rule# 1: Remember the Human,Rule #2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life and Rule #7: Help keep flame wars under control. Kim didn't have the guts to breakup with Jordan face-to-face so she did it online. By doing that she broke Rule #2. She wouldn't have done it like that in real life. She was talking to Lucas online and was planning on how she would break-up with Jordan and after she posted online that she's breaking up with Lucas she didn't even tell Jordan about it. She just broke Rule #1. She didn't put herself into Jordan's shoes thinking how that would hurt if Jordan did that to her. After all that happened, she made a Myface group called "People Who Think Jordan Sucks" By doing that she broke Rule #7. She's making Jordan look like it was all Jordan's fault when she was the one who started it.
On the other hand, Jordan broke Rule #8 which is respect other people's privacy. He went on Kim's Myface account without her permission, and he did some bad things to her account by de-friending a bunch of Kim's friends and made numerious inappropriate posts on other people's walls. He also went through Kim's inbox and found her conversation with Lucas. After reading their conversation, he got jealous and drove to Lucas' house and smashed the windows of Lucas' car.
Both of them were at fault for doing things that they shouldn't have done and because of that they were brought to the office and they got introuble, even Lucas.
Good job, but I think that you left out a few rules that Jordan broke like rule #2 because I don't think that Jordan would have said the same things that he wrote Kim's friends in person.
