                     Respecting Others in the Digital World

                     Respect is important in every part of our lives, including the digital world. When we use the Internet,
                     play online games or chat with others, our words and actions can affect people just as much as

                     they do in real life. Showing respect online helps create a safe, positive and enjoyable experience
                     for everyone. Some ways respecting others in the digital world benefits everyone are:

                         It creates a safe space for everyone: When people use polite

                        language, avoid hurtful comments and report harmful behaviour,
                        the Internet becomes  a safer place,  allowing everyone  to  feel
                        comfortable sharing ideas and working together.

                                                        It helps build positive online communities: Respectful behaviour
                                                       encourages friendly conversations and teamwork. Whether it’s
                                                       in a classroom app, a group chat or a gaming platform, being
                                                       kind  and fair helps  create  communities  where everyone  feels
                                                       included.

                         It protects our personal information: Showing respect online
                        also  means  thinking  before  we share. When  we keep  our
                        personal details private and avoid pressuring others to reveal
                        theirs, we help keep ourselves and others safe from online risks.

                                                                                           Digital Respect and Netiquette  87
