                                                                                              6

                             Respect                                      Introduction to Digital Respect

                             Understanding Netiquette                     Safe and Ethical Online Behaviour

                     In today’s connected world, interacting online has become a daily part of life. Just as we show
                     respect and courtesy in face-to-face communication, it is equally important to behave responsibly
                     in digital spaces. Digital respect means valuing others’ opinions, privacy and feelings while using
                     technology, whereas netiquette refers to the set of rules and guidelines that promote polite, safe
                     and effective online communication.

                                      “Netiquette is like good manners for the online world, reminding us to stay
                                     polite, respectful and safe while using the Internet just like you do in real life.”

                     RESPECT

                     Respect  is an important  value that  helps people  live, learn  and
                     work together  peacefully.  It means treating  others with kindness,
                     understanding and fairness. Respect shows that we care about people’s
                     feelings, ideas and personal space. It can be shown through our words,
                     actions and behaviour, whether we are at home, in school or online.
                     When we treat others with respect, we create a friendly and supportive
                     environment where everyone feels valued and safe.

                                                                                           Digital Respect and Netiquette  85
