Assignment #2: CyberBullying (and Privacy)

1."Visit the site's page on "The Law and Reporting." What are two actions that can violate someone's privacy?"

• who is in a place where the person might be expected to change or remove clothing (e.g. bedroom, bathroom, change room, cabin, tent);

• where the recording is done for sexual reasons.

    2."There are four other sections on this page about laws in Canada. Identify two of them and provide one example from each section that would be considered an unlawful act."
Unwanted or Illegal Sexual Contact -

• . Online Luring: a situation where one person (typically an adult but not always) communicates with a young person through technology (like texting, instant messaging, emailing) to make it easier to commit a specific sexual offence against that young person. An example of a communication that could qualify as online luring is if the person asks, hints at or tries to convince the young person to create or send naked or semi-naked sexual pictures or videos.

• Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a Person under 18: showing or sending material like pornography to a child to make it easier to commit a sexual offence against the child.

Acts that Hurt the Reputation of another Person

• Defamatory Libel: publicly making statements about another person that are likely to hurt their reputation or cause others to treat them badly or ridicule them (e.g. posting online that another person is a racist).

• Impersonation: pretending or claiming to be someone else (living or dead) to benefit yourself or someone else, to hurt the person you are pretending to be or to hurt another person.

1. Speak to a safe adult such as a parent, teacher, or school counsellor for advice. Adults can offer insight and options that you or your friends may not have considered and have more authority to address concerns.

1. If you are not able to identify a safe adult to talk to, contact Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868) and speak with a counsellor to receive help on what to do next.

1. If you are unable or unwilling to seek support from family, another safe adult or a counsellor, talk to a close friend.

 4.At the NeedHelpNow.com main page, there are eight sections (Learn More About...). Select two of them (we just explored "The Law and Reporting") and in a small paragraph provide some information about each section. Consider information that you think is helpful or you did not know about. The section on "Removing Pictures/Videos" is a very good resource.

• I think that Cybertip.ca is a great site because if you or someone else is sharing unwanted or inappropriate photos about you, you can contact this website and they will help you take down the photo. This is under " Removing pictures/videos ".

• " The Law and Reporting " This is also a good section because it gives an idea on what to do if you are put into this situation and also information on certain criminal offences in Canada to help give you a general understanding of the type of behavior that could be illegal and result in charges by police, as well as the places to report these issues.

 

5".Visit the site's page on #ChangeTheStory. Scroll down and watch the three short videos. Provide one thing that you found interesting about one of the videos."

•          One thing I found interesting is how much cyberbullying goes on in peoples everyday lives.

• One change i could make is to not do any of these things.
