Cybersmart

When you are being cybersmart, you are being aware of the dangerous things that you can come across. When you are doing the right thing on the internet and being positive on social media. It is important to be smart online because some people are capable of doing/saying very bad things online and it is dangerous because it can affect you (emotionally). I learned that it can also help you in the future, because if you aren’t being cybersmart, people can see your history and what you’ve posted, and that can affect your reputation.

A personal strategy that you can help yourself (If your being bullied) you can either talk to someone or your school's student council. You can stand up for yourself and tell them how much of a cyberbully that person has been to you. If you have a friend who is being cyberbullied, you could talk to them and make them feel better (eg, compliments). If you find yourself being the cyberbully, you should think of how the victims are feeling. And cut out how calling them names and treat them just like how you would want to be treated.

Banning Plastic Bags

Jacinda Adern made an announcement about banning plastic bags in 1 years time. They made a petition about it. 65,000 signed it, so this is why they are going to do it. I reckon it will cause an impact because shoppers will find it difficult to carry their shopping, not only the shoppers but also people who use plastic bags on a daily. For example, New Zealanders need plastic bags to put in their trash bins, to use it for storage, and many more. On the other hand, I also think that the pollution will decrease because some people don't recycle their rubbish. As for the government, they could create groups of politics. But it is what it is, if it happens, people will have to learn to deal with it.
