Cyberbullying Marks More than Feelings

Abstract

Due to its ongoing evolution and adaptation to new concepts, technological advances, and cultural changes, society is always changing. Many significant changes have occurred in many facets of society in recent years. Technological developments, shifting demographics, environmental consciousness, social and cultural movements, the labor and economy, globalization, and internet connectivity are a few of them. These are but a few illustrations of the changes that are occurring in society. Our ability to think, act, and see reality has changed due to innovative technology, which has also led to incorrect assumptions about young culture and the societal impacts on it. Our goal in doing this research is to examine, theoretically, the effect that cyberbullying has on young people’s communication. We can undoubtedly maintain that several forms of communication have changed since 2000 as technological advancements have progressed. The majority of the early research on cyberbullying took a top-down approach in defining the phenomenon, basing it on Olweus’s traditional definition of bullying, which states that an individual is bullied when they are subjected to negative actions from one or more people on a regular basis. Few of them are often acknowledged and mentioned. This study examines how cyberbullying affects young people’s use of innovative technology for communication with one another and with society at large. The literature study is on how young people perceive various forms of cyberbullying and how this phenomenon is viewed by them in various contexts, including the internet or social groups.
