DIGITAL ETIQUTTE QUESTION 4

Digital Etiquette: Is the awareness of being a responsible online citizen.

According to Mike Ribble (2013), this is one of the more problematic issues in digital citizenship. People recognize inappropriate behavior but don't know how to appropriately combat it. Many feel uncomfortable confronting others about their etiquette. When people use technology they often don't learn how to properly use digital etiquette.(Digitalcitizenship.net

In the work place I would keep an eye on every computer that logs on to the internet. And in so doing it ill detect who is abusing the privilege of using the net in the work place. Further more that individual will no longer be able to use the net while at work.

DIGITAL SECURITY

Hazards of online activity

Digital security involves the protecting computer's internet account and files from being stolen by an outside user. Internet users today are very familiar with companies like Symantec (Norton Anti-Virus) and McAfee that provide them with internet security products and resources to guard against computer viruses and to provide secure firewalls and protection against spyware.

The T&C on programmes are sometimes helpful but at times it can be irritating to internet users. How so is that T&C may mislead people in terms of knowing that most people do not read these conditions. In most cases readers are mislead by these terms and conditions and are unable to understand the guidelines due to that type of jargon been used. Some people don't know that Terms and Conditions spell out the fees and interest charges you could incur as a cardholder. And in so doing this can be seen as a way of tricking users of the net.

Cyber-crime is any criminal or other offence that is facilitated by or involves the use of electronic communications or information systems, including any device or the Internet or any one or more of them  is any crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target.
Types of cyber crimes:

• Hacking>Hacking is having access(wanted or unwanted) to a computer that doesn't belong to you and viewing, copying, or creating data(leaving a trace) without the intention of destroying data or maliciously harming the computer. This can avoided by not clicking on a fraudulent link sent to you either by email or social media apps.
• Online scams >  A swindle involving money, goods, etc, in which the victim's trust is won by the swindler. Find more information about who your dealing before trusting who your working with. Be familiar with the website your working on.
• Fraud > wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. It can be reduced by one being honest and not stealing from other people. Owners social media can put pins to avoid being stolen from.
• Identity Theft > The fraudulent practice of using another person's name and personal information in order to obtain credit and loans. This can avoided by people setting pin codes that are not easy to crack.
• Attacks on computer systems >
• Illegal online content > This is when one does not acknowledge the original author of a quote or article.
• Sales and Investment frauds: Investing in companies that do not really exist.

WHAT ETHICAL ISSUES COLD ARISE AS A RESULT OF DIGITAL SOCIALIZATION
.

• Acculturation- a process of cultural and psychological change due to two-way cultural interaction whereby one's culture is displayed to a different cultural group.
• Behavior- since access to technology has increased our lives have changed significantly, we have evolved into multi-tasking individuals and that has changed our behavior some for the better and sadly for some the worst.
• Privacy- as the number of people engaging social networks has increased rapidly and that means many supplies their personal information as it a standard procedure and that people feel comfortable using these applications and site. People, businesses and the government can access the information displayed online and that makes everyone a potential victim of a violation of privacy.
• Crime-  The internet allows any individual to manipulate it to their tailored needs like criminal activity whether its money laundering, violation of copyrights, piracy and illegal distribution of content.
• Staged effect- the loss of value of tradition and rituals as they become a commodity

DIGITAL COMMERCE

what is digital commerce?

Digital commerce is a type of e-commerce used by an organization that delivers and sells products online. D-commerce is used by companies that sell news, subscriptions, documents or any form of electronic content, and the digital commerce company collects payments, handles customer refunds and billing and manages other accounting functions for online publisher clients.  

Digital commerce is the electronic selling and buying of goods

Website following B2B business model sells its product to an intermediate buyer who then sells the product to the final customer. As an example, a wholesaler places an order from a company's website and after receiving the consignment, sells the end product to final customer who comes to buy the product at wholesaler's retail outlet.

B2B implies that seller as well as buyer is business entity. B2B covers large number of applications which enables business to form relationships with their distributors, resellers, suppliers etc. Following are the leading items in B2B e-Commerce.

Business - to - Consumer(B2C)

• Website following B2C business model sells its product directly to a customer. A customer can view products shown on the website of business organization. The customer can choose a product and order the same. Website will send a notification to the business organization via email and organization will dispatch the product/goods to the customer.
  

  Consumer - to - Consumer (C2C)

  Website following C2C business model helps consumer to sell their assets like residential property, cars, motorcycles etc. or rent a room by publishing their information on the website. Website may or may not charge the consumer for its services. Another consumer may opt to buy the product of the first customer by viewing the post/advertisement on the website.
  

  Consumer - to - Business (C2B)

  In this model, a consumer approaches website showing multiple business organizations for a particular service. Consumer places an estimate of amount he/she wants to spend for a particular service.

DIGITAL LITERACY AND INFORMATION FLUENCY

HOMO NALEDI

1.ASK

• who discovered homo Naledi?
• who is homo Naledi?
• where does homo Naledi fit within the human lineage?
• Does this fossil prove that humans originated in South Africa?
• How is homo Naledi estimated to be?

2. ACQUIRE

 http://ewn.co.za/features/Naledi/whois-Naledi/html
 D. McKenzie & H. Wende. Homo Naledi. New species of human ancestor discovered. CNN updated 1640(GMT) September 10, 2015

3. ANALYSE

The astonishing find was made initially by amateur cavers and thought at the time to be a single hominid skeleton. The fossils were retrieved by a band of diminutive paleoanthropologists, all women, recruited for their size.          
“Naledi” means star in the Sesotho language and is a reference to the Rising Star cave system that includes the chamber, known as the Dinaledi Chamber, where the fossils were found. The circuitous and difficult passage to the chamber narrows at one point to a bare seven inches.

HOMO NALEDI: A new species

In addition to identifying an entirely new species in the genus Homo, the collections of fossils, which bear no marks from predators or scavengers, are strong evidence that HOMO NALEDI was deliberately interring its dead, according to Hawks, a UW-Madison professor of anthropology.
 ( http://news.wisc.edu/naledi/#sthash.x2fXECcX.dpuf)

4. APPLY

The discovery of homo Naledi
Late one Friday night in September 2013, two cavers were spelunking through the pitch-black Rising Star caves in the Cradle of Humankind when they found an entrance to an as yet undiscovered chamber towards the back of the system.
The explorers, Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker, noticed fossils visible on the chamber floor and took some quick photographs, unaware of the significance of what they had stumbled upon. Hunter and Tucker showed the photographs to fellow caver and geologist Pedro Boschoff, who recognised the potential significance of the find and alerted Professor Lee Berger.
who is Homo Naledi
Homo Naledi is believed to be an entirely new species of human relative. That alone makes the discovery remarkable. But what makes it truly special is what it could tell us about the hominid's behaviour.

Homo Naledi in the human lineage

Homo Naledi shares some characters with australopiths, and other characters with species of early Homosuch as H. habilis and H. erectus, it is possible that this new species may be rooted in the initial origin and diversification of the genus Homo.
Does the fossil prove the origination is from South Africa
 Homo Naledi existed in South Africa, and left some spectacular traces of their passing that we are only now coming to grips with.
Homo Naledi estimated age
Homo Naledi was a smallish hominid that researchers believed roamed the Cradle of Humankind somewhere between one and three million years ago. Scientists don’t yet know for sure how old the fossils unearthed in the Dinaledi Chamber are, so it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where this diminutive species fits into the history of evolution.

5.APPLY

Upon all the research and discoveries, the actual truth of the human evolution is still pending thats is why the discovery of Homo Naledi is magnificent. Not only does it introduce us to a human relative we had no idea existed, it promises to shake up the entire evolution tree. And in doing so, it helps us better understand our past and allows us to ask questions about one of the most seductive mysteries of all: what marks the birth of human consciousness?

NAPALM GIRL

NAPALM GIRL

 

Nudity is considered inappropriate as it shows some sort of distraction to the public. The picture itself can attract sexual predators and draw attention that its acceptable to photograph a young vulnerable girl in need of help and publish it to make the story even more effective. The picture violated the young girl’s privacy as it took away her right of keeping her body sacred.

Even though the picture was taken many years ago and it was only a young girl fleeing from a struck bomb, the current state of what the picture possessed then can still have an impact on the woman’s reputation till this day, since is still alive. Sexual repression leads to a build up of passion and typically is a form of violence. This is mostly done through the use of media such as Facebook, YouTube and all other networking sites.

 Personally I think the picture is given an inappropriate context as is a photography of many children fleeing away with the presence of some soldiers but its main focus is on the Napalm girl more than what it was suppose to capture, which is sticking to survive from a bomb. For instance one could have just interpreted the picture as children running away to save their lives and are escorted by soldiers, but then it took a different turn and focused on the girls nudity. Therefore the picture was showing a struggle of what happened in Vietnam but with an inappropriate context.
