There are certain things human need, such
as food, shelter and clothing. In our society we also require money to maintain
the things we need. So in order to get money, we must work. Whether it is
working at home or a place of business. It is inevitable that we will leave our
house for a task or two. Some may think outside is like the Internet. Now a day’s
people must be tech savvy to function in this society. To sum it up it is
inevitable that you will use the Internet for a task or two. The same pleasures
and threats that are on the Internet are outside. You make the decision if you
want to go online or go outside. In this video Click Here and Click Here
a women was being target cyber harassed for four years and fought for it to
stop. She stated, “That the legislation online was different. If this was
happening to me in the world I could go to the police, but there is no police
online.” The Internet is huge like the world, however you can create fake
profits, and a whole another person, making it very hard for physical you to be
found. It is easy to hide online.
Still some people reason to go online is
not to hide but be noticed. In this video by PBS Click Here the adolescence used the Internet as a mean of
expression. They looked for people like them, created new identities, had
relationships online, confronted people, bullied other, got bullied. The adolescence
in this video spent most of their time online, while their parents had no idea
what was taken place. Online gave some adolescence a way to be mean to another
without having to do it to their face. Towards the end of the video a seven-year-old
boy killed himself in result of being bullied not only at school by online. He
found comfort in a friend he met online that seem to be going through the same
thing. And they helped each other plan their own suicide. In the end the little
boy killed himself and his friend online did not. Overall the Internet can be
this scary place, with cyber bullies that develops stalkers and assist in other
harming them. But at the same time it can be something amazing.
