The Unexpected
Esther’s Story
Last week…
Esther was on her laptop to search for song lyrics online. The search engine displays a list of links to suggested webpages that supposedly will have the lyrics.
Esther clicked on one of the links. However, instead of the song lyrics, she saw pictures of men and women with their bodies exposed. She was shocked.
Let’s continue the story on Esther:
Despite the shocking experience, Esther decides to look for the song lyrics again.
Maybe I was unlucky just now. Let me try again.
She tries searching on MusicTube this time.
She types the song title in the search bar.
I should be able to find the lyrics now.
A list of videos appears. Esther scrolls down and notices one of the video descriptions: “Due to its content, this video is restricted to persons over 16 years of age.”
Esther is curious about the video. Part of her wants to click on the link to play it. She wonders whether it would be wrong to watch the video.
I’m alone in my
room. No one will know if I take a quick look. But it feels wrong. Should I do it?
Should Esther click on the link?
