Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life (5. nädal)

Who are you in real life?

In this article I would like to discuss the behavior of a person on the Internet. Should a person behave on the Internet as well as behaving in everyday life? It seems most peoples, if not to say all, in the Internet are completely different personalities than in real life. And it happens most likely because in the soul people have hidden desires that can not be realized in the real life. In this regard, the Internet opens up vast opportunities, allows you to feel yourself who you really are not, gives freedom of speech, gives some certainty of your rightness. Of course, in some cases, this freedom does not bring any benefit, and even vice versa, it turns a person who in real life seems normal, into a sociopath.For a long time I was played online games, also called as MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing games) where characters were run by real people. For many participants, these games were a continuation of their real life. A huge amount of time and real money was invested in the characters that were controlled by people, who in life were not like them at all.
A boring, short-lived in real life person in the playing space turned into a bright personality with leadership abilities. And conversely, a cheerful person in real life, turned into a complete boor in the game, going all over the rules, not respecting the law, or the personality of other people or himself ...I wrote all this because I never guess who a person is in real life and whether he is a person at all, just talking to him on the Internet. This gives a colorful, unexpected revitalizes the routine of everyday life.The commandment reads: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life! But do you realy have to follow it? Probably it's still everyone's business. But it seems to me: should not. If on the Internet the person will be the same as in everyday life, the Internet for such a person will become boring and become simply an information channel. A quiet, modest man in real life will not argue with anyone on the Internet or defend his point of view, when it is possible that the dispute would bring clarity into someone's thoughts and reveal the truth in any matter. In this case, the Internet itself will lose its entertainment character and become like a library where people will come for information, life itself in the virtual world will become uninteresting and fresh, as it will look like the real one. And why then we need live two similar lives, when in one of them the graphics are much better :)?
On the other hand, the opportunity to be different from what you are can open up hidden potentials. Let me try myself in the role that it is terrible or awkward to apply in real life. And if everything goes good in a virtual world, maybe a person will be able to revise his behavior in reality and become better.... or worse :) In any case, everyone should decide for himself, by whom and how to be ... there ... and here .. ..

  1. Everyone already has many roles - role of the family member, role of the friend, role of the employee.. So it is only natural to have different role in the internet as well, maybe even many different roles depending of the society they are in. At the end it all comes down to a question - in witch role you choose to spend your time in?
