1ST Quarter_Week 1_DISCUSSION Q1-Q3

1. How would you interpret the video in connection to cyberbullying? Do you agree with it? Give a concrete situation to justify your answer.

It is applicable when we or someone we know are going through it. Cyberbullying can happen to anyone at any time. The video that I watched shows us what to do in these sorts of situations and the importance of having support from friends and families. Not only that, but it also gives us a good reminder of how big the impact of our comments, posts, and messages can be to the recipients. It reminds us that the anonymity that the internet gave us shouldn't be taken for granted, and we must use it accordingly.

2. In what certain scenario do you think would this topic will be applicable?

3. If you experience cyberbullying, how will you handle/respond to the situation? Elaborate your answers and be specific.

Rather than giving the aggressor fuel for their transgressions by responding, I would just ignore their comment/message and stay away from them. If they are insistent on pestering my account, I would just block them. If push comes to shove, I would just delete my account altogether and create another one if necessary. These sorts of people are people that I shouldn't involve myself with. I will not give them a piece of my time so that I will avoid unnecessary stress.
