Cyber-bullying wrap-up

In a text post, please reflect on the following: 

How could you apply what you learned in class to situations in your own life?

Have you ever witnessed cyber-bullying and not gotten involved but later wished you had?  If so, what prevented you from taking action?  What might you do differently if it happened again?

Why is it important to take action to de-escalate online cruelty whenever you witness it?
