Analysis of the online disinhibition effect through activist groups Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter/Blue Lives Matter
Get PDFWith the tides of modernity, the internet offers people the chance to communicate to their friends, families and to the world. Through the growing influence of social media, information is easily accessible in various forms such as articles, advertisements and memes, thus predisposing their social biases. In order to promote inspiration and change, activists use social media to awaken social media users by highlighting the national and global inequalities. However, Rider University professor Dr. John Suler speculates the online disinhibition effect, the unrestrained means of online communication, strengthens social polarization and online deception. To find the extent of the online disinhibition effect, I examine the hashtags wars between activist groups Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter/Blue Lives Matter. By analyzing the inconsistencies between social media activism and socio-political reforms/voting, the research finds that the online disinhibition effect promotes social tribalization rather than empathizing with opposing beliefs as it paradoxically narrows their perception of their surroundings and feeds their confirmation bias.

Assessing Students Online – Enablers and Barriers to Using e-Proctoring and Alternative Methods
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic created widespread chaos and disruption and forced an immediate and unprecedented move to fully online teaching, learning and assessment across all levels of education (Coronavirus and School Closures, 2020). In the initial stages of this transition, the focus was on survival and ensuring some level of activity and continuity was established. As the pandemic continued, focus naturally shifted to levels of quality assurance of teaching and ensuring the authenticity of student submissions. The very integrity of student assessment became a focal point of debate, activity and concern. There was a concerted effort among universities to transition to an online proctoring system in order to more effectively support faculty and staff during online examinations. This chapter explores the issues underpinning this transition and the lessons learned from activity undertaken, with particular focus on responses recorded from a workshop conducted at the 7th European Conference on Academic Integrity by European Network for Academic Integrity, 2021 on an ethical pathway to responsible implementation and use of proctoring technology
Is Pornography Morally Acceptable?
No full textThe aim of this presentation is to analyze empirical evidence on whether it is morally acceptable to view pornography. To do this, a variety of re search that brings to light different angles on the topic is used to properly evaluate claims and counterclaims. This evidence focuses on three sub questions related to pornography; what are the psychological effects, how does it interfere with relationships, and is there any correlation with rates of rape or sexual assault. It then takes that evidence and translates it through a widely accepted philosophical belief and aims to put a normative answer to this question.

Our requirement was to develop a patient education tri-fold brochure and provide a 10-minute presentation on our topic related to the concept of Health Promotion; I chose Tobac co and Pregnancy. My goal was to gather content information for the brochure, a template and photos to enhance interest in the brochure.

I also learned how to improve my abilities to write citations. I came away in awe of this untapped resource and with a greater appreciation of how I can use it en sure to my success while a student and later in my professional career.
