Social / ethical aspectsA persons culture is an apparent barrier that occurs when people from different countries collaborate. People of different ethnicity/race/etc.. can take comments and gestures differently than we mean them. For example in the Deep South we are raised to say "yes sir" yes ma'm" as an act of respect. but if you say that to a British person they take it as an act of defiance and disrespect. Another example is when any man talks to a woman of Arabian culture you can't flirt or smalltalk in any way. That's a big "no no" but yet most people are blissfully unaware of the social barrier. As a digital citizen it is your right to post comments on public sites but your responsibility to censer what you say to make sure its politically correct. Privacy You have the right to expect that your user name or password is being protected by the website of which you have registered. You also have the responsibility to keep your user name and password to yourself. Courtesy When online always be as nice as possible. You don’t want to start a flame war. A flame war is when two people constantly insult each other via the internet. This is a very time consuming and wasteful way to use the internet. Digital rights and responsibilities influence people socially and ethically. It can affect them socially because people have the right to meet other people online. People must also be responsible socially so that they do not meet people that could make them unsafe. People must also be responsible ethically so that they do not get into trouble online.
