In real life situations, I have realized that digilit pretty much helped me understand copyright more and how to use the internet efficiently.

I have encountered cyber bullying before, and I have stuck up for the person. The victim was being bullied about her dress, and I told the offenders off.

It is important to deescalate cyber bullying when it occurs because if it grows to be a really big problem, the victim may do something upon themselves that could be very bad.

Have you ever encountered online cruelty?

Yes, its usually all over facebook where kids are getting made fun of for their pictures or just hate statuses. Sometimes kids comment on a status and the kids who already commented make fun of him/her on the post.

How do you think someone might feel after being the target of it?

They probably feel awful, and sometimes feel like doing something bad to themselves, which is sometimes the case.

K: It is bad, and that people who use cyber-bullying as an advantage are weak and are nobodies, because they don’t have the guts to say what they did to the other person’s face.

W: How to prevent it.

L: Cyber bullying is the worst thing imaginable on the internet. It hurts peoples feelings and they can’t really stick up for themselves. It has to be dealt with in an appropriate matter also.

To the best of your ability please define the following vocab words within the context of the topic of cyber-bullying.

Target: The person who is the target for the bullies to use as an advantage

Offender: The person who offends the target by using hateful words or images to hurt their feelings.

Bystander: The person who knows what is going on but does not do anything about it.

Upstander: The person who knows what it going on but does something about it.

Escalate: The point where the target gets hurt the most and the offender uses the most hurtful material.

De-escalate: The point where the cyber-bullying calms down and the offender moves on to somebody else.

If the whole freshman class created a wikipedia, they could all do a different topic on copyright to give other freshmen and another audience a better idea of what is happening in the world right now and why it needs to be stop. They also have to learn why keeping your own ideas safe is a good thing.

From looking at these websites, I learned that people could easily plagiarize  your work and that it is mandatory to keep it safe so you dont have to suffer the process of going through arguments with others to prove that it is your own work.

Copyright is a very important problem in the mordern world. With many peoples ideas being expressed through the internet and other publicly published thoughts, copyright is needed in a great amount. Everyday, people steal people’s ideas and claim it as there own, and I think it has to stop.
