Norms and responsibilities- Jeannine Simmons

J. Simmons
 What user rights do you feel should be part of the norms in this digital world?  Two important norms would definitely be having freedom of speech and privacy and safety.  Even in the digital world, individuals should be able to openly express their views (taking care not to cross the line of being offensive to others) without oppression.  Also, everyone has the right to individual privacy, which at times can be very difficult to protect in the digital world.  

What user responsibilities do you feel should be expressed in this digital world?  First and foremost, respect is a huge responsibility that needs to be associated with the digital world.  Respect is a real-world norm that many individuals have learned as small children and this learning should carry over into the digital world.  Expectations that we have every day, are respect for property, respect for others, and respect for views or opinions of others, and now with the use of technology, we need to continue to teach students to have respect.
