Jahzaire's Survival Guide for Online

Hello viewers,

Welcome to my Survival guide while online.I am Jahzaire Sutton and when i am online i am a person that is mindful of what i do. When i say that i mean that i am mindful of what i do like if i am on Instagram and i post something, I do my best to make sure that what i post isn’t offending anybody specifically. When i am on Instagram i post things that make me laugh and things that i think are true to me. When i am online i appear to be who i am nothing more nothing less. I appear as Jahzaire Sutton. I think that people perceive me as a person that is innocent to a degree because of what i post or do on public social media. Before i post something online the first thing  that goes through my mind is is this appropriate for my page because my mom tells me to be mindful of what i post or there will be  Negative consequences for my negative actions. So i consider how appropriateness of the things that i post. Some Pros of to being online is that you get to you get to communicate with people without being face to face using apps or websites like g mail or Skype. Another Pro for sharing online is that you have easy access to information that you may be required for something like a school project or if you were looking for a job/career that you wanted to do. Some Cons to sharing online is that you can’t trust all of the information that you see like sometimes Wikipedia puts false information about topics because they have this thing where you edit the information that is put onto the certain topic. Another Con about being online is that sometimes when you get friend/follow requests from people that you don’t know they could be stalkers which is not something that you want. When you are online you have to mindful of the Deadly 3’s (That’s what i call them). I will introduce you to them the first one is Lack of Control which usually affects your emotions and might make you say/text something that you might later on regret. That doesn’t lead to good things. The next one is Permanence which is deadly because once you put something out online it is hard to remove it even if you take something done. You never know because lets say if you posted something or texted something but you later take it down somebody could have screenshotted what you had texted or had posted. So be mindful of that Deadly 3 in particular. The last but not least deadly 3 which is immediacy. Immediacy is deadly because once you do something online almost immediately somebody had saw what you had posted or had said online. Be Careful of what you post because it can have a major affect on you so beware of that. I noticed that people are starting to be either hired un hired or fired based on their social media account. I think that a person shouldn’t be judged based on what’s on their account unless something on their account has something that will threaten the world or something like that. But i think that whatever people post online is their business because you can’t control what another person does and how the outcome of that situation will come out. I think that a person social media account is their business and i don’t think anybody is stupid enough to post up their master plan to the public. That isn’t so smart. When it comes to Free Speech i think that people are unaware of the limit to free speech is even though it is free speech. I think that free speech is the ability and legal right to speak your mind but i do think that it comes with limitory standards. Meaning you have the right to speak your mind but you shouldn’t use that right/privilege to harm others verbally. Back to your safety viewer now you should beware of internet trolls which are people that find a way to make your Social media life a living H e double hockey sticks. Internet Trolls are known for making rude and uncalled for comments on people’s posting. The Best thing to do if your in a situation with a internet troll is to ignore them. That’s the best way to deal with them because when you don’t feed into negative energy it makes it boring for the person that is bothering you. Some pros to posting anonymously is that you don’t get too much attention from people that you do not like. Some cons to that is that people won’t know who you are and that can make you distant from people such as your family unless you want to be distant from your family. Thank you viewer for reading and i hope i gave you a good guide for when you are online. Here are my last 3 tips

  1. Be mindful of what you post online

  2. Give no attention to internet trolls

  3. Make sure that you know what your reputation is online and that you're happy with it
