1. Rights and responsibilities is a key area of internet safety, with out it you leave your self upon to many different online attacks from fraud, to online bullying. The three main areas of rights and responsibilities are AUP, Use online material ethically, Report cyberbullies and threats. = = =1. Overview/Description=

AUP (acceptable use policy)
[|AUP or (acceptable use policy)] is a set of rules applied by a network and by the website owners which restricts the ways in which the network or site may be used, for example there are acceptable use policies at schools and work places and in some cases entire countries. As well as being what we can and cant do it is also what we should do to help make our life online and others as safe and enjoyable as possible.

The use of Material
This is a particular area where people recently are finding themselves in trouble, it means what we can and can't use online an how we can use it without effecting others online in a negative way. This will include, pictures, documents, videos, and many other forms of personal items.

It shows a real life example that you wouldnt do, but in fact people usually do it. it tells the audience to stop cyberbulling, because the main reason that it is just lame.//

This is a newer part of rights and responsibilities because bullying is growing online not becoming a wide spread problem. Children today are learning what to do when they face or witness cyberbullying, and this is helping to take that mini culture out of this generation and generations to come. This is quite self explanatory and it is just that you must report it after seeing it happen.

=**2. Background**= This is a good example of digital rights and responsibilities. This is from a show called life online, and gives real life examples as well as descriptions of rights and responsibilities the show is originally from the news network [|front line].

Another excellent example of responsibilities is a real life example about [|relationship] on line that goes wrong and how we should control the situation and resolve the issue.

This is an article found by someone else doing digital rights and responsibilities and it is a more abstract then the previous two, but still good. It shows what [|government departments]have the right to look at our personal information and data online.

=**3. Social / ethical aspects**=

Socially Rights and Responsibilities has a lot of influence over us, and our daily life. Everything we do in our online lives or even just online we have to think if it is within our rights or whether we have the responsibilty to do something. For many of us we found this so hard to do because our rights and responsibilities online are soo very different to them offline, which is why it is importtant for children to incorporate these ideas into their daily lives and at a young enough age for them to adapt to them quickly.

Ethically it is a difficult issue for people to grasp because of how quickly our internet is growing around us, and with this comes new threats daily which we have to combat. Because of what we do only many of us find it difficult where to ethically draw the line where they can stop or interupt whats happening, or to just ignore it and carry on with what we are doing. This is where the problem of were our ethical issues mold into our rights and responsibilities online. =**4. Solutions**=
