However, with the advancement in technology and its wide use, a new type of bullying has developed, cyberbullying, which is when a person uses technology and/or electronic devices to bully another person, typically by sending messages or posting comments of an intimidating or threatening nature. What makes cyber-bullying much more dangerous than regular bullying is that because if it on the internet, it will stay there for a long time and for everyone to see. What’s worse, is that the bully can easily hide under a different name or profile, making it harder to find out who is responsible in terms of facing consequences. It is very important to delete cyberbullying because when teenagers begin to abuse the convenience of the internet to harass others, it creates a very dangerous environment that extends outside the classroom or school.

Kirsten Laman ENGL 1301-61507 Professor Jackson 30 October 2014 Cognitive Effects of the Internet The book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr states that the introduction of the internet into society has had a profound effect on our culture. In other words, the internet has affected the way people think, read, and remember. The rapid access to tons of information has also affected people’s behavior making them less patient and less productive. According to Carr, “The Net commands our attention with far greater insistency than our television, or radio or morning newspaper ever did” (117). In today’s world, the internet has become essential to work, school and entertainment.
Common Information Security Threats Paper CMGT/400 University of Phoenix January 27, 2013 In this day and age, technology has grown so fast that most of us are playing catch up to the people who were born in the “computer era”. As technology continues to advance, so do the threats; especially to businesses. Instead of having an upfront attack or robbery, they have chosen to go the electronic way. The one business that I would like to cover would be the banking industry. This institution is constantly being attacked, on a daily basis, with various methods.
People need to be more careful when posting about things because no matter what, it will always be permanent online. Jung’s “ The Negative Effects of Social Media on Society and Individuals” points out many reasons on how social networking has its flaws.

People are blinded by the addictive quality of networking than really seeing the problems of
Cyber bullying is legally defined as actions that use information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm another or others. Many bullies and witnesses don’t know how severe the effects of cyber bullying can be. People who are cyber bullied often bring harm upon themselves by cutting themselves, or even killing themselves. Studies show that over half of teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying. Bullying is shown in all races.
Cyber bullying is when someone writes humiliating comments about someone on the World Wide Web. Cyber bullying is when an adolescent is harassed, humiliated, embarrassed, threatened or tormented using digital technology, such as the computers, and cell phones. It’s important to understand why people use this type of bullying. Cyber bullying is used in an effort to make the person who is doing the bulling feel better about themselves, in a way that isn’t as confrontational. As many as 25% of teenagers have experienced cyberbullying, even though there is still more bullying at school in comparison to online.
The last function is providing procedural protections for the United State citizens from wrongful government actions. This last function is very important for our society and for businesses because if an individual or a business does find themselves in trouble it allows them to be treated fairly and have the right for a fair trial (Melvin, p. 4, 2011). The role that our laws play in our lives, whether it is in our businesses or personal lives, creates structure. Not only does it help people and businesses, but it also helps our country keep the crime rate low. If our country didn’t have any laws and structure, our world would be a complete disaster.
CENSORSHIP Eunice Siu 9-5 As the Charter of Rights and Freedom states each person has his or her own right to express their own thought, belief, opinion, and expression. Especially, on the Internet, a place where most people are anonymous. A problem that can cause the content to corrupt our minds even more than it already has, the harm can effect generations that follow. Cyber-bullies who post the messages that are on the Internet can cause hurt feelings. Thus, the Internet Service Provider(s) [ISP(s)] should make it mandatory for whatever is being posted to have filters, blocks on the content (censoring)- a better filter than we have right now because the main filtering is mainly for pictures (Example: porn).
