Quote : "Anonymity is a result not having identifying characteristics such as a
name or description of physical appearance disclosed. This can occur from a lack of interest in learning the nature of such characteristics, or through intentio nal efforts to hide these characteristics." What I expect to learn: I want to learn how Anonymity and Social Situations interact with each other Review: Online Anonymity have reasons why a person might choose to obscure their ident ity and become anonymouse. Several of these reasons are legal, legitimate and so cially approved of - many acts of charity are performed anonymously, as benefact ors do not wish, for whatever reason, to be acknoledged for their action. Someon e who feels threatened by someone else might attempt to hide from the threat beh ind various means of anonymity, a witness to a crime can seek to avoid retributi on, for example, by anonymously calling a crime tipline. There are also many ill egal reasons to hide behind anonymity. Criminals typically try to kep themselves anonymous either to conceal the fact that a crime has been committed, or to avo id capture. Anonymity may also be created unintentionally, through the loss of i dentifying information due to the passage of time or a destructive event. Anonymity may reduce the accountability one percieves to have for their actions , and removes the impact these actions might otherwise have on their reputation. This can have dramatic effects, both useful and harmful. In conversational sett ings, anonymity may allow people to reveal personal history and feelings without fear of later embarrassment. Electronic conversational media can provide physic al isolation, in addition to anonymity. This prevents physical retaliation for r emarks, and prevents negative or taboo subjects or expressing views or revealing facts which may put someone in physical, financial, or legal danger. With few p ercieved negative consequences, anonymouse or semi-anonymous forums often provid e a soapbox for disruptive conversational behavior. The term Internet troll is s ometimes used to refer to those who do this online. Anonymity maybe deliberately sought or something that occurs spontaneously from the sheer complexity of mode rn life. There are three groups of anonymity which Wallace suggested. Those thre e serve for a specific purpose. They give us guide so that we can judge correctl y. Anonymouse commercial transactions can protect the privacy of consumers. Some consumers prefer to use cash when buying everyday goods, to prevent sellers fro m aggregating information or soliciting them in the future. Credit cared are lin ked to a person;s name, and can be used to discover other information, such as p ostal address, pone numer, etc. The ecash system was developed to allow secure a nonymous transactions. When purchasing taboo goods and services, anonymity makes many potential consumers more comfortable with or more willing to engage in the transaction. Many loyalty programs use cards which personally identify the cons umer engaing in each transaction or which act as a numerical pseudonym, for use in data mining. What I have learned: I learned that Anonymity in charity, there are two aspects, one, giving to a la rge charitable organization obscures the beneficiary of a donation from the bene factor, the other is giving anonymously to obscure the benefactor both from the beneficiary and from everyone else.
