PRESENTING YOURSELF AND
MANAGING IMPRESSIONS
One of the ingoing campaigns on Internet use is the
responsible presentation of one's self and effective
management of impressions one creates. The tagline,
"Think before you click" just about summarizes the
campaign. It silmply means that before you post anything
on the Web, you have to think through the repercussions of
sharing that information. And if the infromation is meant to
be kept private or away from the prying eyes of the public,
you have to make sure that you keep these information as
secure as possible or not produce the information at all, if
necessary.

unwanted, offensive, and perhaps violent
responses from other people. You are familiar to a
situation like this as bullying. In this case of the

kinds of flaming activities because innocent people
are victimized by this.

 STEALING OR BORROWING

Ideas do not emanate from your own personal knowledge or experience. More often than
not, you need to consult other sources. But when you do so, you probably sometimes find
yourself in a dilemma of how to untilize the information you have collected. Some may opt to
literally copy the information and pass it off as their own, or some will extend all effort to cite
their sources.

When the first situation happens, the person committed a grave sin in scholarship which is
called plagiarism. The American Association of University Professors defined plagiarism as
"taking over ideas, methods, or written words of another, without acknowledgment and with
the intention that they be taken as the work of the deciever."

According to Ballenger (2009), plagiarism persist "because of that awkward feeling of

reading someone else's words and having to make concerted effort to understand what they
mean, and then finding your own words to restate the ideas."

work, violating policies concerning

the expectation of
originality adopted by most academic institutions.

 You may have noticed that the entire module is dedicated for you to acquire the
knowledge on and the attributes of an ethical user of media and information.
Teodore and De Jesus (2007) argued that recognizing and promoting the basic human
values guide ethical journalism. Because journalism is a practice that entails
management and sharing of information, it is safe for you to adopt these values in
your own handling of information in your daily life.

Ethical use of information means using information ethically and properly.

 BASIC HUMAN VALUES
