Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner, is a well-known professor of the University of Harvard. Gardner demonstrates his interest on the impact brought by digital media in young people’s life. For several years, Gardner worked on Good Play project. The latter is a project built to take a critical look on the several issues that young people may encounter when using digital media. Youth are confronted to their sense of identity, sense of privacy, sense of ownership and partnership and their credibility. He linger his attention on these problems because he considers that not all of the youth are aware of the importance to be ethical when they are sitting behind a computer screen. People wonder why is it so important to be ethical when using digital media. The reason is very simple because youth have to express themselves properly since they are now involved in a community. Being respectful to others is very important when being in a community. I totally agree with Gardner with the fact that youth should learn to be ethical at a young age.
