Cyberbullying

The universal utilization of the Internet, smartphones, and laptops have engendered new kind of bully on the school playground: cyberbullying. What makes cyberbullying an especially dangerous form of bullying is that it often takes place off campus. While schools unquestionably have the authority to punish bullies who threaten or harm children on school grounds, their authority to punish bullying that takes place on the Internet and oftentimes at home is a more difficult issue. As of yet, there is no comprehensive federal law addressing cyberbullying. In turn, the states have largely taken it upon themselves to define and punish ...

Abstract

The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones, and laptops has introduced a new type of bully on the school block: cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a particularly difficult type of bullying for schools to punish and prevent. This is because most incidents of cyberbullying occur off school grounds. Currently, there is no federal law that specifically addressed cyberbullying. It has been largely left up to the states to define the parameters of cyberbullying and to set forth the corresponding penalties and punishments for such infractions. While some states extend criminal liability for cyberbullying off school grounds, other states limit liability ...

- Attention Getter: Did you know that nine out ten middle school kids get hurt over the internet? Out of those, one out of four has their feelings hurt in more than one instance. Did you know that there has been an increased inclination towards suicide due to cyberbullying? All this is happening, yet it is not limited to children of a particular age; they are all susceptible (Schwartz 13). - Tie to the audience: Information Technology has, needless to say, taken over every phase of ...

- Strain as the actual or anticipated removal of positively valued stimuli and

- Strain as the actual or anticipated presentation of negatively valued stimuli

In all the scenarios, strain is responsible for creating a negative scenario, while at the same time removing all the hopes for positive goals amongst the youths. In other words, there is nothing good about strain and it can negatively impact on the behaviour of the victims in the long run if they do not get proper counselling.

Bullying is a form of violence that occurs between a group of people or a single individual and another group of people or individual either in physical or mental form. The intention might not be clear, but there could be possibly many intentions in this process. Bullying, today, can take place either in person-to-person form through electronic media devices. We can find boys in a majority of the cases of bullying. They are either involved in physical bullying or emotional bullying or even cyber bullying, which could harm others. On the other hand, in some of the cases, even girls were found to ...

The Digital Generation: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

This paper will present the salient points of the article “The Digital Generation: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”. The author begins his discussion on the effects of the inventions and innovations in the digital front by identifying himself as a “digital immigrant”, that is, one who has been familiarized and accustomed with the use of the technology. On the contrary, he goes on further to define the “digital natives” as those who “have grown up with this technology and have never seen a world without it”.

Paul’s objective in his essay is to point ...

In Andrew Keen's essay "Douse the Online Flamers," the author laments the presence of cyberbullying and online 'flaming,' or the open and aggressive insulting of others on the Internet. In essence, the advent of the Internet has created a huge public forum where people can anonymously say incredibly hurtful things and harass people, even to the point of suicide. Keen's article approaches the subject from the perspective of potential litigation against cyberbullying and trolling, stating that the US Supreme Court may find it of great importance to reinterpret how anonymous speech is valued in a ...

Re: Cyberbullying Report Dear Name, Enclosed is my final report on cyberbullying. I have called it A NEW WAY TO BULLY. It is the culmination of research done on the campus of WSU and was completed the summer of 2015. I have found the results bothersome, with most students reporting that they have been on the receiving end. This report includes the statistics based on a large study conducted with students and faculty from Washington State University regarding the type of social media they used, whether they have encountered cyberbullying themselves, or if they were, in fact, ...

Bullying has been a problem in our society for many years, and it has been done in many ways. Throughout the years there have been many children who were bullied at school by their peers. However, when the world began to change with the introduction of technology, the techniques of bullying changed, as well. A bully can abuse their victim either physically or mentally, so they are able to obtain a sense of superiority and power (Donegan, 2012). In the past, when children were bullied this usually meant that they were being tormented by others while at school. The bullies were ...

1.0 Introduction The Internet is a conclusive technology of information era, consisting of globally connected computers for sharing information and communication. Even though many people might think that it is a new invention, the fact remains that the internet has been around for quite a long time. The internet is one of the most imperative inventions that have happened to humans, and the fact is that without it life would be entirely different as it known. With the internet, there has been a definite advancement in the society, giving an opportunity to people from all over the world to communicate and express ...

Introduction

The rationale behind this research paper ‘should parents prohibit children to use their mobile phone’ is based on the growing impact that the devices have had over the last two decades not only on children, but other people too. There is no doubt that the devices have had many positive effects on people’s lives and allowed them to perform actions like sending a quick text to let your parents know your safe without having to rush back to your house to let your parents know you are okay. However, there is also growing evidence to suggest that mobile phones ...

Abstract

Bullying and discrimination are a pervasive and highly damaging situation within school systems throughout the country (NYSUT, 2013). In recent years, this trend has expanded to include issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) related bullying and abuse, and the increasing dangers of cyberbullying (i.e. the use of the Internet to abuse classmates), making it paramount to pass legislation that is effective in controlling these trends. The possible effectiveness of the DASA (or Dignity Act) as anti-bullying legislation will be discussed, as well as the historical background of bullying as a practice and its effects. While anti-bullying measures such as ...

Bullying is a problem of great interest to students, educators, communities, and the nation because the results of this behavior negatively affect many aspects of society. Even though some people view bullying as a benign character-building rite of passage that all children endure, many other people see it as having far-reaching, harmful but preventable consequences. For example, school violence can be a direct result of bullying. According to Department of Education research presented in 2002, “Almost three-quarters of the attackers [in school violence incidents] felt persecuted, bullied, threatened, attacked, or injured by others prior to the incident” (Simplicio, 2013, p. 345). While ...

The question of whether or not students caught cyberbullying, even off campus, should face sanctions at school is debatable. A good number of educational institutions already have legislation that regulates the interpersonal relationship among students within and beyond campus. Even so, it is hard to admit it has halted or obliterated online harassment, or cyberbullying. It is safe to say legislation has always been and will forever be an indispensable tool of crime deterrence. The statement does make a lot of sense, but quaere does not it have negative fallouts? American authorities enacted the dry law and legislation prohibiting illegal ...

Current research on bystander intervention has produced many outcomes indicating that the presence of other people in a critical situation, especially bullying, reduces the probability that an individual will help. Diffusion of responsibility contributes to the bystander effect. This implies that a person does not feel the need to help someone in need if several people are also present since the responsibility is among those present. Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social audience in many crime ...

Bullying is a problem that is of current interest to students, educators, communities, and the nation because it affects so many aspects of society. Although some people see being bullied as a character-building rite of passage that all students must endure, the facts demonstrate that bullying can have far-reaching effects that make it much more than a mere schoolyard game. Bullying affects everything from the quality of education children receive, the ability of students to prepare for jobs, the ability of students to prepare for higher education, students’ mental health, and community safety. A sociological examination shows that communities, educators, administrators, researchers, ...

Cyberbullying is a phenomenon that affects a huge number of people as communication now focuses more on online interaction. Research on the causes and effects of bullying revealed that consequences are not solely directed towards the victims but to those who bully as well. This is due to behavioral choices influenced and conditioned by people they interact with, including family and peers. A cyber bully abuses on the web using social media, emails, or cell phones. The strong desire to do something out of the ordinary sometimes pushes individuals to bully someone. Cyber bullies harass people because they often think they are ...

Technology advancements have made the way things are done easier. Technology has been able to ease communications, technology makes communication easier such that one can communicate with virtually everyone just from the comfort of one’s abode, once there is an access to a computer or mobile phone. The fact that people can now sit at the same spot for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and communicate with different individuals even in the farthest parts of the world comes with its own dangers. The first danger is that individuals will start to live a life with less interpersonal ...

While bullying is not a new element of concern it is certainly changing with increase in diversities in the use of computers, smart phones, and network. The reason behind its popularity in the recent times is as a result of it happening in more places and more people than ever before. In the past, bullying only happened at schools or neighborhoods, and by children or teenagers. Currently, as the use of social media and internet increases, children, teenagers, and adults are bullied in all locations and time. Cyber bullying can be defined as “willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use ...

The introduction and advancement of the internet has brought with it many wonderful experiences to the general population. Many individuals today primarily seem entrenched with texting, downloading apps, blogging, and social networking media.

Portals like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit give the user a readily made microphone; oftentimes the user does not even have to claim their comments.

Issues of ethics

Introduction Contemporary society has started using information technology and the breakthrough in information technology has also spurred several dilemmas and ethical issues. However, technology itself cannot be blamed for being the single most factor leading to the creation of ethical failures.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Since the conception of the internet, the intentions of users have grown more devious. In the beginning, what appeared to be toy is now often used to commit crimes. When the internet first arrived in homes across America, it was not often used as a tool to hurt others. At most, it was a novelty. However, as time progressed, individuals began to see all the potential held within the internet. A person could go anywhere, do anything, and be anybody. While this must have been exhilarating, it has also proved dangerous. It is difficult to believe at times that some once ...

The advent of social media brought on a firestorm of new outlets for internet users. Suddenly individuals were able to connect from all over the world with the click of a button on a single site, or several single sites as others began to pop up.

Bullying has been a swiftly growing epidemic in American schools. More and more children are being harassed during lunch, recess, in the halls, and even in class.

Minors resort to threatening, harass, humiliate and embarrass their fellow children using the internet with an aim to accomplish their selfish and sometimes justifiable reasons. Schools' authority cannot effectively punish such offenders due to privacy rights and technicalities involved in out-of-school communication that they are not in complete control.

Tremendous scientific advancements have enabled the creation of computers along with the wide range of functional potential that they possess. Computers are notable for their application in medicine, military complex, science, education, and entertainment, of which the last two have come to be the most controversial of functions.

Introduction

Cyberbullying is an increasingly serious issue in today’s society. The internet has given bullies a new, arguably more effective avenue to unleash terror and intimidation on their victims. Youth are the most vulnerable demographic group affected by cyber bullies, understandably because they comprise the biggest population of social media users.

The Internet is an essential communication tool. The power of the Internet is felt far and wide. Unfortunately, the power of the internet can be used negatively, such as in bullying.

Cyber bullying is not uncommon among the youths that use the internet, especially social media. Social media, instant text messaging, and chat rooms are three among the ...

- Evaluate Lukianoff's and Scott's arguments for and against free-speech zones on college campuses. Evaluate which person made the stronger argument. Greg Lukianoff argued that a policy on free-speech zones is a curtailment of an individual’s or group’s freedom of expression – given the fact that “only a tiny portion of the campus” is allowed for use during protests/rallies. He strongly believed that anything that impedes or hinders people for free speech is a violation of their constitutional rights. He calls for the toppling of all free speech zones to make them all, ultimately, free speech zones (that is, that there ...

Abstract

Currently, it has been assumed that with the declining prevalence of racism and seemingly reduced rate of bullying in the neighborhood, schools in the United States of America are no longer affected by the negative vices of bullying, whether based on the race, gender or otherwise. In this regard, it is further assumed that the counselors within the schools have the ability to eliminate bullying within the schools. However, there is a very great difference between the reality and the assumptions taken so far. In addition, there are several reports on studies that have been developed with an aim of ...
