Scenarios Hate speech

1 / 5

Over the last few days the situation at your school has been strange. It seems that some children are trying to create a negative atmosphere against some other children, mainly migrants. The comments and discussions are not made in public, but you have noticed that a very bad atmosphere is beginning to be cultivated against those children. At some point you see that one of your classmates has made a comment on Instagram which you find unacceptable and offensive: “We’re full of refugees! The border shouldn’t be open to everyone. But why don’t they stay in their own country?” How will you react?

You don't pay attention and forget about it. If you don't care, it might stop.

You respond with abusive comments so he understands what he/she said and will not do it again.

You show it to an adult you trust and report it if you want to. Since it is a classmate, it is a good idea to inform the school of this behavior.

Look here, it’s so funny! “ Everyone is happy and delighted!Suddenly in the evening, you see on Instagram that your friend Tasos has uploaded a picture of your classmate Zahir, with the following comment: “The colour of his skin is like he never has a bath.” What do you do?

You reply to your friend with an intimidating email in order to get him to delete the post.

You reply to him so you can laugh together. Since it's really funny!

You’re a bunch of friends gathered in the park, sitting on a bench, having fun, looking at your Instagram feed and laughing while commenting on various posts you like. Suddenly you see a live feed showing a group of young men attacking a boy. It looks like someone is filming the scene and streamining it live on social media. How do you feel about this ? How would you react?

We don't know who to blame. Maybe the boy did something bad.

I feel sorry for the boy, but he is not my friend or neighbor to do anything about it.

This is unacceptable! We should not tolerate this kind of violence, no one deserves it.

Miltos commented on a photo on internet – making a joke, but he has upset some of your friends with this comment. Tasos and George attacked him verbally, Katerina and Despina told him that they never want to talk to him again and Dimitris couldn’t stop laughing since he thought it was very funny. How can you help make things right?

Report the comment on the website. At least if they delete the comment, no one else will see it.

Write another bad joke underneath. It might lighten the mood!

You talk to your friend and help them realize that their comment was in bad taste and has upset your friends. You encourage him to remove the comment and apologize to others.

The online game you are playing has been joined by some new players who you don’t like at all. One of them even uses the username “The funny sexist” provocatively. In the last few days these players are also participating in the chat discussions, expressing unacceptable opinions, such as that girls shouldn’t play games and that their role is only to play housewives. They even forced two girls, who were part of the group for quite some time, with their comments to leave the game. How will you react?

Quit the game. You don't want to get involved in any trouble.

You ignore them and continue to play normally. Everyone has the right to free speech. They can call themselves whatever they want and freely express their opinions.

You make a report to the game platform.
