Ethics
In an essay of 600 words (approximately 2 pages), analyze the ethical and
legal issues raised by one of the cyberbullying cases described in the
article, *Cyberbullied to Death: An Analysis of Victims Taken from Recent
Events*.
In your view, should the harasser in your selected case be held accountable
for the victim’s suicide? Do you see this as a case of wrongful death
and/or corruption of a minor, even though the offense took place online?
Have you or someone you know ever been the victim of cyberbullying? What
ethical norms inform your conduct online?
After reviewing the Chernenko, et al. article, propose your own original
policy as a suggestion for school policies that would address how this
issue should be both counseled and prevented. Make sure to incorporate
properly cited evidence from the Study Materials to support your analysis.
