2. Define Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control as they pertain to the Internet and explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control affect both our offline and our online identities and lives. Include at least one example for each.

However, even if the internet is perceived as a free-to-do place, it still has its guidelines people must follow in order for everyone to have an equally enjoyable experience. These three guidelines being, Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control. Immediacy is when consequences of the actions an individual has chosen to make on the internet starts to take effect on both their internet life and their life in reality. For example, when posting something that might be offensive to some people, those offended people will take immediate actions to fully publish their post, causing immediate consequences to affect their life. Lack of Control is the phase that pretty much happens after Immediacy takes effect. When the individual's offensive post has been seen by almost everyone around the world, it would be too late to try and delete every single shared post, leaving the individual unable to control what already happen. After Immediacy and Lack of Control occurs, Permanence allows the effects to either stay in motion or in place.

There are a lot of ways to cyberbully someone. Two of them being: unintentional cyber bullying, where people are seen cyberbullying without realizing. And doxing, when people are seen releasing someone else’s personal information.

7. Provide advice for: victims, bullies and bystanders of cyberbullying

The advice I would like to provide for bystanders is to tell an adult right away and make sure to comfort the victim who got bullied. For bullies, if you ever get motivated by friends to bully other people, try to keep your distances away from them. However if they decide to follow you try speaking to an adult and have them be restricted from being around you. Victims who get bullied must have evidence if they are going to tell an adult. That way, the adult would find your statement to be true and try to support you by letting you stay in their class whenever they start bothering you.
