Journal Entry #3: Digital Rights and Responsibilities
What I find to be the most surprising when it comes to digital rights and responsibilities is how little people pay attention to them. Many times, as I am scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, I see so many disrespectful comments, post and statuses, sometimes even directed towards specific people. However, I do believe that most people do act responsibly online, posting to share with their friends and family, commenting positive things, and thinking before they post. If I had to pick one commandment out of the ten I created, the most important to me would be, "Thou shall respect people of other languages, cultures, sexual orientation and religion while online." I think this one is the most important as I see the most hate spread about these topics on social medias. Among young people, I think the biggest issue surrounding digital rights and responsibilities is respect and privacy. These days it seems people are not satisfied with living their own lives and would rather watch what's going on in others lives instead, normally just to gossip and spread hate about them. Instead we should all be staying out of others peoples private lives, and supporting each other positively through social media and not vice versa.
