Case Study

Victor Ochoa
Netiquette and Online Ethics: What Are They?
Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette, and is defined as a set of rules
for acceptable online behavior.
Both phrases are frequently interchanged and are often combined with the concept of a
netizens which itself is a contraction of the words internet and citizen and refers to both a
person who uses the internet to participate in society, and an individual who has accepted the
responsibility of using the internet in productive and socially responsible ways.

At a high level using netiquette, applying online ethics, or being a good netizen
means:

Recognizing that the internet is not some new world in which anything goes, but rather
a new dimension or extension of our existing society.

Applying the same standards and values online as we are accustomed to applying in
the rest of our lives. In simple terms this means that the values society has in place
against such things as hate speech and bigotry.

Acknowledging that cultural differences remain, even when national boundaries no


longer apply

For companies, being a good netizen, applying online ethics, or using netiquette also
includes

Most internet users automatically apply the same responsible respectful behavior online as
they do in every other environment and by nature apply netiquette an online ethics, and are
good netizens.
Opinion: I think that this rules are very important to us, because even when we are using the
internet the people have to know that we need to respect the others persons and I think that if
we respect other people we have a good imagine to other countries.
