How to promote ethical use of these resources

and exhibit proper etiquette while being


connected online?
For Society:
 Recognizing that the internet is an extension of society. The internet isn’t a new world
in which anything goes, but rather, a new dimension of the world around us.
 Applying the same standards online as we do in public. In simple terms, this means
that the values society has in place against hate speech and bigotry, child exploitation,
and child pornography, copyright violations and other forms of theft, remain intact.
Values around courtesy, kindness, openness, and treating others with the same respect we
wish to receive should also be adhered to.
 Refusing to empower abuse and harassment while online. Accepting that the laws
which are currently in place to protect the rights and dignity of citizens apply online and
that where needed, laws are updated to reflect these rights in the extended environment.
Theft, harassment, and bullying while online is still theft, harassment, and bullying,
period.
 Acknowledging cultural differences. Even when national boundaries no longer apply,
cultural respect and tolerance should remain. This requires finding a way to accept that
the social values and norms of some netizens will not be the social values and norms of
all netizens.

Internet etiquette or also known as netiquette is very important especially in our modern world
today. This contains a set of guidelines for us to avoid inappropriate behavior online.
Here are some simple ways can help promote the responsible and ethical use of internet.
1. Do not plagiarize. This is very common when it comes to educational purposes such as thesis
making, but we can always cite.
2. Be careful on what you say online. Chances are someone might get offended or you might get
into trouble. Just remember, we all don't have same beliefs! Just respect one another.
3. Be private. Do not give all your information online or else it might be used against you.
