Cyber Bullying :o

General Questions
  • Who is the perpetrator in this case? Who is the target?
  • What acts of cyberbullying have happened in this case? How serious would you rank each one as being?

The Perpetrator is Nazar. This is due to the fact that he was the one that created the website that involved Cyber Bullying.

The Target is Chong Wei. Even though he was the one who started it. The case now stands that he is the victim of Cyber Bullying.

The acts of cyberbullying that has happened in this case is
-Insulting: Posting or spreading false information about a person that will cause harm to that person or that person’s reputation.
Targeting: Singling someone out and inviting others to attack or make fun of her or him.
Harassment: Repeatedly sending someone nasty, mean and insulting messages.

Insulting someone and spreading false information is ranked as the most serious in this case due to how effective it could be to hurt a human being. Targeting is the second most serious because it is not as hurtful as Insulting but singling someone out really brings out the depression out of the target. The least serious but still serious is Harrasement due to the fact that it is not as bad as insulting by making false information.

Nazar: How can you defend your actions?

Nazar could defend his actions by saying that it is not his fault that he created this. He was forced to because Chong Wei was being very mean for no reason at all. There was days where Nazar was crying due to people unfriending him because Chong Wei said to. This is why he was some what desperate to do it. You cannot blame the victim, never blame the victim.

good points about what was more serious: the spreading of the false information or targeting. But what would happen if the targeting became even more intense? to such a point that Nazar would start considering suicide. In my opinion... the situation is over rated >.< but good points :)
