I have learnt in this unit that everything that you do online, you have to be extremely careful. its very easy to hurt someone’s feelings just by a post , or saying 2 words. So you really need to think about what your posting before you do it. It can be as simple as thinking about what if you were that person and someone was doing that to you, you need to show empathy. You also need to take responsibility for you action and own up for what you do. being a bystander is just as bad as actually bullying them, because your just letting it happen and not doing anything about it.
You need to respect what others do online and if they do post something that is defiantly not right then you take responsibility and tell them that its not right or you ask them if everything is ok because they might be going through something. using critical thinking is extremely important when using social media. we use it when someone sketchy requests to follow us or when we are posting a hurtful comment. we need to think about what we are doing before we press post or press accept.
What i want in the future is for our generation to not be so fixated on getting the most likes on a Instagram post or having the most Instagram followers. I want us to be more aware of what’s happening around us, and actually just be in the moment, because our day and age, there is so much new technology and Its taking over and we are doing nothing about it. we care about our image on social media then spending time with our family.
