Cyber bullying

            Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.

The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are:
  • Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok
  • Text messaging and messaging apps on mobile or tablet devices
  • Instant messaging, direct messaging, and online chatting over the internet
  • Online forums, chat rooms, and message boards, such as Reddit

Software Piracy 

       Software piracy is the act of stealing software that is legally protected. This stealing includes copying, distributing, modifying or selling the software.
Copyright laws were originally put into place so that the people who develop software (programmers, writers, graphic artists, etc.) would get the proper credit and compensation for their work. When software piracy occurs, compensation is stolen from these copyright holders.

Types of Software Piracy

  • Soft lifting

  • Client-server overuse

  • Hard disk loading

  • Counterfeiting

  • Online Piracy   

    Consequences of software piracy are


  • Increased chances that the software will malfunction or fail
  • Forfeited access to support for the program such as training, upgrades, customer support and bug fixes
  • No warranty and the software can’t be updated
  • Increased risk of infecting your PC with malware, viruses or adware
  • Slowed down PC
  • Legal repercussions due to copyright infringement

 Plagiarism


       Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else's work and publishing it as your own. This includes text, media, and even ideas. Whenever another person's work is copied and republished without an appropriate reference or citation, it is considered plagiarism. Examples of plagiarism range from small infractions such as not putting quotes around a quotation to blatant violations such as copying an entire website. Even if the original content has been modified, such as an altered image or a reworded article, it is still considered plagiarism if no credit is given to the original source
