Cyber-bullying

The internet and social media are among the best ways to communicate, share information and socially interact with people regardless of geographical distance. The advancement in telecommunication, such as fast internet bandwidth and smart devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and webcams, has provided great ways in which people can communicate and socially interact with each other remotely or through the internet connection. For instance, social networking services that exist today allow individuals to do online research, explore different fields, develop their interests and share ideas/experiences with other people who have the same interests. Nonetheless, many issues are associated with the internet and social media, such as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can take many forms, such as sending, sharing, or posting harmful content. To the extent of violating the law, some forms of cyberbullying can lead to more issues, such as litigations.

In the PowerPoint presentation, I will reflect on and discuss cyberbullying using the content from research and literature review of different scholarly articles to identify cyberbullying, forms of cyberbullying, and effects of cyberbullying on the victim. The slideshow will also cover a trace of cyberbullying history, provide a comparative cultural description of cyberbullying, identify related policies and discuss future trends for the same problem. We will come across different terms during the slideshow, such as cyberbullying victimization, cyberbullying offender, cyberbullying by gender, and conventional/traditional bullying. The slideshow will also focus on the impact of cyberbullying on students.

Many scholarly articles talk about cyberbullying among students. Ercag (2021) analyzed to examine the attitude and behaviors of secondary school students on cyberbullying from 2018 t0 2019. The study involved conducting a questionnaire survey on a sample of 1206 students from different secondary schools selected randomly. This article's content will help collect literature data and identify what other researchers and scholars think about students' attitudes toward cyberbullying. This study also reveals essential comparative information about student cyberbullying attitudes based on different levels of education, such as high school against technical colleges, and based on male and female gender cultural characteristics. Ercag (2021) also provides solutions for addressing cyberbullying in schools and among students, which I intend to use in the slideshow content.

Wang et al. (2009), in an article entitled "School Bullying among Adolescents in the United States: Physical, Verbal, Relational and Cyber," is one the scholars that identify school bullying as an issue affecting the society for a long time and in different ways. This article provides insight into different forms of bullying and how students' background can influence their psychological well-being when victims of cyberbullying. An individual's background, such as their family and parents, forms a unique cultural foundation that determines their personality and how they view the world. This article shows how a difference in cultural background can influence how students respond and react to cyberbullying issues in the learning environment. It also shows how different socio-demographic factors influence students' attitudes and responses toward cyberbullying in the learning institution in the USA. This comparative information will therefore be part of the slideshow.

Ding et al. (2020) further identify that demographics, personality, family, school environment, and social interaction influence human behavior, in this case, students, and determine how they view and respond to cyber-bullying. All these factors are cultural factors that I will use to develop a comparative discussion about cyber-bullying among young individuals in the slideshows. Moreover, Ding et al. (2020) also suggest different victimization prevention and interventions strategies which will form part of the written content for the presentations.

Hicks et al. (2019) published an article entitled "Instigators of cyber-bullying: A new strategy for new players." This study reveals that the rapid advancement in technology contributes to cyber-bullying globally. It lists different social media platforms such as Twitter, Snapchat, Tik-Tok, and Instagram innovations due to rapid advancements in technology. Hence, there is the instigator of cyberbullying, which has been ignored for a long time. The contest in this article will help to emphasize why social media platforms should be regulated, monitored , and ensured that they do not instigate cyber-bullying practices. Furthermore, the insight into different concepts such as anti-bullying and no-bullying policies will help formulate a good discussion on how enforcing strict regulations against cyber-bullying in social media can prevent and reduce this problem in society.

Ahmet et al. (2019) give an overall view that shows the current situation of cyberbullying among young people and students in the current society. In the article entitled "The analysis of teachers' cyberbullying, cyber victimization and cyber-bullying sensitivity on various variables," Ahmet discusses and describes the impact of cyberbullying, cyber exploitation, cyber sensitiveness, and online social interaction on social relationships. This study uses a quantitative research design based on a descriptive and relational model to examine the current state of cyberbullying. This information will be part of the slide show to show the current state of cyberbullying and pave the way for discussing potential future trends.
