2nd IT Project

Choose 2 topics from cyberwellness topic- cyberbullying, danger with cyber contacts, computer security, copyright, internet addiction write about the topic and what you have learnt.

1st Topic: Copyright Infringement

Copyright is the unauthorized or prohibited use of works under copyright, infringing the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works.

Copyright infringement occurs when someone other than the copyright holder copies the “expression” of a work. This means that the idea or information behind the work is not protected, but how the idea is expressed is protected. For example, there have been many movies about Pirates, but only one Jack Sparrow.

Copyright infringement can occur even if someone does not copy a work exactly. This example of copyright infringement is most easily apparent in music and art. Copyright infringement occurs if the infringing work is “substantially similar” to the copyrighted work.

I have learnt that any simple thing like downloading and coping other people's work for our own is copyright infringement. Hence, we should be careful of what we do in the internet in the future and make sure we do not copy other people's work unless permission is granted.

2nd Topic: Internet Addiction

There are 5 types of internet addiction..

Cybersexual Addiction: Individuals who suffer from Cybersex/Internet pornography addiction are typically engaged in viewing, downloading, and trading online pornography or involved in adult fantasy role-play chat rooms.

Cyber-relationship Addiction: Individuals who suffer from an addiction to chat rooms, IM, or social networking sites become over-involved in online relationships or may engage in virtual adultery.

Net Compulsions: Addictions to online gaming, online gambling, and eBay are fast becoming new mental problems in the post-Internet Era.

Information Overload: The wealth of data available on the World Wide Web has created a new type of compulsive behavior regarding excessive web surfing and database searches. Individuals will spend greater amounts of time searching and collecting data from the web and organizing information.

Computer Addiction: In the 80s, computer games such as Solitaire and Minesweeper were programmed into computers and researchers found that obsessive computer game playing became problematic in organizational settings as employees spent most days playing rather than working. These games are not interactive nor played online.

I have learnt that there are many different types of internet addiction and that all of it a very harmful to our health, as well as influencing our social and emotional behavior. I have also learnt that we have to limit ourselves to playing the computer and be disciplined so as not to influence on our school work academically and physically. Lastly, I feel that we should adopt good time management and follow a daily schedule so as not to get addicted to the computer.

G.R.A.C.E Values

Godliness-to live a life that is pleasing to God

How I feel?

I feel that the value, godliness, is very important because it is like a law that we should follow so that we will do kind and good deeds so as to please and make God happy.

It has also benefited me a lot because it will motivate me to do more good and wonderful deeds to please God. Also, it has helped me in becoming a respectable and understanding person.

Respect-to respect self, others and to be resected by society

I feel that Respect means a lot of different things.It seems to be taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It might also mean taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings.

Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow.

Having respect for others and others, respecting me have indeed helped

me in life. It has helped in a way that when respect someone, I noticed that our bond will be stronger and

naturally, our friendship would be stronger. It has helped me make more friends as when i respect them, they would respect me too.

All-Round excellence-to pursue excellence in everything we do

I feel that all-round excellence is a very important value that helps to nurture bright and intelligent people from everywhere. Learning this value have taught me to not be complacent after every success. Instead, we should push ourselves harder to improve more and achieve better results. All-round excellence have also benefited me to persevere and be resilient. Also, it has taught me to never give up even though we are under immense stress and pressure to do well.

Commitment-to be faithful, responsible and dedicated in performing one's role

I feel that having commitment to the things we want to do is very important because with commitment, we will do our very best to achieve our goal. If everyone have a 100% commitment in achieving their dreams, than it is for sure that they will succeed. Even if they did fail, the strong bond and commitment would motivate and inspire them to work even harder to achieve a better goal. Having commitment have helped in many successes. That is because I always feel motivated to do best for the team and to persevere more and never give up to achieve a good result.

Enthusiasm-to live a life with purpose and passion

I feel that enthusiasm is very important because with it, we will do everything successfully and of course, with FUN ! I feel that the best thing on enthusiasm is because everything that we do, easy or hard, have always this important factor which is fun. Without fun, we would not have the motivation and inspiration to do well in the certain activity. Hence enthusiasm is needed so that we will enjoy it. Enthusiasm have benefited me before by helping me make new friends because people like their friends to be energetic and enthusiastic so that they enjoy every time that they are hanging out. Also, it has helped me to achieve my dreams and also discover new heights.
