There is no doubt that contemporary computing has changed the way we live.
In the last half-century we have seen a revolution in how we communicate with one another, conduct
business, and engage or create the artefacts that define our culture. However, with new
social, economic and cultural opportunities come new - or at least transformed -
challenges. Art for example, in many forms is shared easily via digital networks such as the
Internet, yet the access and freedom values that underpin this practice are complicated by
matters of ownership and piracy. Take also the computing provisions that are
commonplace in schools and homes in most developed countries today. Advancements
that provide ready access to global information to millions are however unavailable to
countless others, arguably furthering social inequality as a ‘digital divide’ forms between
those who are connected, and those who are not. The political, social and ethical
implications of digital technology are double-edged and important to debate.
This assessment requires you to produce a 2000-word piece of academic writing that
focuses on one of the nine elements of Digital Citizenship. You must select your element,
read around it, and provide a summary of the key arguments that relate to it.
Your research title must be one of the following:
● Access in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Rights and Responsibilities in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Communication in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Health and Wellness in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Commerce in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Etiquette in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Literacy in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Law in the context of Digital Citizenship
● Security in the context of Digital Citizenship
Your essay must take a current news story as key focus or ‘case study’. You will be
provided with a selection of current news stories to choose from.
