1.3.13 Rules of Netiquette

As I was reading through Chapter 1's sections, I chose to focus on Rules of Netiquette because it is important that we understand proper online behavior. I'll begin by defining netiquette. Netiquette (also known as online etiquette) is a collection of guidelines that promote respectful and appropriate online conduct. These guidelines are crucial since they enhance communication abilities, stop misunderstandings, and give you insight into what is appropriate in social settings such as working and cooperating online. In the absence of visual and auditory signals, which are frequently sources of misunderstandings since readers can readily misread communications, netiquette standards have arisen to enhance online interactions. It's important to keep in mind that everything you do online leaves a digital print, so even when you believe you've deleted something, it still remains there.

In any learning environment, excellent communication skills are crucial. In the online setting, it's crucial to pay attention to what others are saying and to answer in a respectful manner. Let's look at some internet etiquette advice:

1. Always remember to treat people how you would like to be treated. 

2. Avoid using ALL CAPS because it will make you sound like you're shouting. 

3. Think before clicking the "Send" button. 

4. Be aware that various settings will demand a different level of formality than others. 

5. Don't expect instant responses. 

6. Write in a style that is truthful, reasonable, organized, and clear. 

7. Be respectful of other people's different viewpoints and opinions.

Did I Made the Right Decision?

In my previous blog post, I discussed the impact that well-known celebrities have on society. On these kinds of topics, I have an inclination to sort of voice my thoughts. Since opinions often result in fresh new ideas and most of the time an impact, I do enjoy reading others opinions. Aside from that, I want to discuss the value of voting in today's blog. We frequently acknowledge the significance of voting, but do we really? Let's think about some crucial questions that you might need to think about before casting your vote.

1). What matters to me the most and should be reflected in my vote?

2). Am I casting a vote in favor of or against something?

3). How do I envision the future for my community? How will my vote affect the next generation?

Do you know the answer to these questions? I surely do not know the full answers, but I can guarantee you that I do give these topics some thought because, as a society, we give power to a group of reckless politicians who are in charge of this nation. Voting may not be required by law, but it makes a difference regardless. The reason why you should acknowledge your vote is the cause of inflation and societal changes, among other things. Every vote has worth. I could honestly go on and on about this topic, but I'm curious to know what you all think about the key political topics of today. Do you believe that the government is to blame? Possibly the pandemic? Did we make the proper decision by allowing these politicians to rule our nation? While some of us do not have the ability or even the chance to make this kind of change, we cannot predict the impact that your vote may have in the future.

Becoming Influenced by Famous People.

In today’s blog, I just want to talk about how other individuals, specifically famous people, have an impact on our life. Let me begin by stating that many well-known individuals advocate admirable and deserving beliefs, such as the value of moral principles, education, family, and many more. The majority of today's society can keep up with trends and is aware of what is happening across the world because these influencers support numerous environmental and social projects. Influencers may be perceived as having a beneficial or negative impact on us, depending on who you ask; this is because everyone has a distinct perspective. Even though we have never spoken with them, we have connections with them. On the other hand, it may be argued that these individuals engage in unethical practices behind the scenes, but as an audience, we have more authority to intervene anytime we notice something unusual. We have developed into a society where we gain from everything without considering the price we are truly paying. Therefore, our time-consuming practice of evaluating influencers harms their reputation while also wasting our time. Therefore, I would like to ask you this, are you willing to stand by your influencer even when they make mistakes? What do you stand to gain from supporting your influencer, and how much of your time are you ready to give up doing so?

My First Day at College

Due to a bad night's sleep the night before, I woke up early this past Tuesday. It was brought on by my fear of beginning a new chapter in my new life. In order to have something to be proud of in the pages of my life, I was resolved to be the greatest in all I did. I was both anxious and eager as I prepared to embrace the challenges and fresh experiences that college would present to me. When I met all of my teachers, I didn't see them as any different from my high school teachers, despite the fact that I had always been told that college was a new environment and even harder than high school. The number of students in the classroom was what surprised me most; I wasn't used to seeing so many people in one room. Given that CSN is a large campus, it did take me some time to get to my classes because I didn't know where they were. I got up again the next morning, ready to face the obstacles once more because of the knowledge I had received the previous day.
