You have heard about and discussed three of the dangers that people face online. Now think about examples of each of these dangers
Bullies have been around forever. We are all familiar with stories about the schoolyard bully. Modern technology has given bullies a whole new platform for their actions. Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person
Most of the time cyberbullying is easy to spot-for example, a response to a status update on Facebook that is mean, or cruel. Other times it can be less obvious posting personal information designed to hurt or embarrass another person Cyberbullying also can happen accidentally. It is very hard to detect the sender's tone in a short text message. What one person thinks is a joke could hurt someone else's feelings. Stalking is defined as harassing or threatening behaviour that is engaged in repeatedly. Such harassment can be either
eople who have been physically stalked complain about someone following them or appearing at their home, school or place of business. Their stalker may make harassing phone calls, leave messages or objects, or sometimes even vandalize the person's property. Cyberstalking is similar to stalking, but instead the Internet or other electronic means are used to stalk or harass a person
More dangerous that cyberbullying or stalking is online grooming. Online grooming happens when people form relationships with children online and pretend to be their friend. They do this by finding out information about their potential victim. They try to isolate the victim and may use flattery and promises of gifts or threats and intimidation in order to achieve some control over them

4 Read the article about grooming and then do the activity that follows
There are some people who use social media to harm others. We need to watch out for this and be mindful of where dangers may lie. These people are called 'groomers! People who want to groom children will visit the sites and services that are popular with young people. They will join in online games or communities that they frequent
On Facebook, they might send out friend requests' at random in the hope that young people will accept them. They also try to identify young people who might be particularly vulnerable by looking at the things they post. They will pay attention to likes and dislikes of a young person and may strike up a conversation about their favourite author
Cyberbullying can affect anyone or movie, pretending that the groomer has similar interests. Very often after a friendship has been established, they may ask the young person to chat privately, perhaps on social media or on a mobile chat app
If you use online games, social media or chatrooms, it's important to let a parent know if someone is making you feel uncomfortable. Most important of all, do not meet up with someone you have met online unless you discuss it with your parents first
Discuss the following scenario with your partner: A good friend has told you that they are going to meet a friend that they met online. Their new friend has told him that he has a new video game that they could play together. Your friend is planning on meeting this new friend after school. He has not told his parents
Read the text about advertising on social media and then prepare for a debate on the topic
Social media has changed the world of advertising and how businesses engage with their consumers. Traditional methods of advertising (print, tv, radio, etc.), are no longer enough. Some people, on social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram, have a huge amount of followers. These people are known as social media influencers. They have the power to affect the purchase decisions of their followers. One UAE social media influencer has over 5.4 million followers on Instagram and has become one of the most influential social media personalities in the Middle East. Blogging has been connected to influencer marketing for some time now. There are many highly influential blogs on the internet. If a popular blogger positively mentions a product in a post, it can lead to their supporters wanting to try out and buy the product
The down side of this is that many of the social media influencers and bloggers are now being paid to promote products. It is becoming more difficult to know if a positive review is genuine or if it is simply because the influencer was paid to give the product a positive review Some bloggers go so far as to digitally alter images to give a positive spin to 'before and after photos. They may use Photoshop to remove wrinkles and blemishes in order to promote a beauty product. Consider the following topic for debate: • Social media influencers should not be paid to review a product
