Here are the answers to Activity 1: Introduction.
1.1 Cyberbullying is the use of digital technologies, such as cell phones, computers, and tablets, to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. This can involve sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone, or sharing private information about them without their consent.
1.2 Two ways in which cyberbullying could result in human rights violation are:
- It can violate a person's right to dignity by publicly humiliating or shaming them through online posts or messages.
- It can violate a person's right to privacy by sharing their personal information, photos, or videos without their permission.
1.3 One reason for cyberbullying in schools is the perceived anonymity that digital platforms offer. Bullies may feel emboldened to say or do things online that they would not dare to do in person because they believe they cannot be identified or held accountable for their actions.
1.4 Knowing your rights and responsibilities when using social media can improve the quality of interaction between you and your online friends by fostering a culture of mutual respect and safety. Understanding your rights empowers you to protect yourself from harmful content and set boundaries, while being aware of your responsibilities guides you to act ethically, respect others' privacy, and avoid posting content that could harm or offend. This awareness leads to more positive, trusting, and meaningful online relationships.
