I see parasocial relationship on the internet all the time. Any tiny connection or feelings can create a parasocial relationship. Influencers and their fans or even just followers. Creating a parasocial relationship with viewers online can bring large profit to the influencers. Viewers are promoting influencers and celebrities based on the parasocial relationship that they have which make them feel connected.

This link talks about how anonymity online could be both harmful and beneficial for people. While it is hiding people from disrespecting or abusing others, it is protecting minorities from violence. For instance, women and LGBTQ individuals. Survivors of domestic violence rely on anonymity online to hide and heal from abusers. In the passage, it mentions that trans and queer women face threats online and offline, so anonymity protects their privacy from being invaded and attacked by others.  Survivors should also not be asked to leave the internet because it is not fair for them to get punished for someone else’s mistake. So if it is needed, use a fake name for your social media account to protect your privacy. 

Although it is important that people have free speech to express themselves on the internet. It is also very important to make the community inclusive and comfortable for all the users. In most of social medias nowadays; there's people who's working for the company to filter what content is okay to be spread on the internet. Internet should not be a place where people go crazy and doesn't care about what they say just become it is anonymous and other people don't know who they are.

User friction keeps users from achieving goals that they desire to do online. There are three types of user friction, emotional friction, interaction friction, and cognitive friction. Emotional friction is when something online is hard to use which create negative feeling for users and prevent users from doing what they willing to do. Interaction friction is when aa website is too confusing and hard to navigate. The website is complicated to use which may cause user giving up on using the website. Lastly, cognitive friction occurs when a website doesn't achieve users expectation. This article also talks about three types of clicking which often occurs when users loose patience on doing something and start clicking whatever they see one the website.

While I think simplification in some case is not benefiting some individuals, however I do think for the most of time it is benefiting the majority. Simplification benefits efficiency, and most of the time, the answer to the question is very subjective. In the example that's giving here, some people will think that they are count as living in the house and some does not. Unless it is a government website which the truth matter, simplification does increase the efficiency.

In this post, the person is asking what should they do if there last name is too long, and in the comment section, people are either helping or sharing same experience. I found this interesting because as a person with a short last name, I never thought it would be a problem for people. And why would the website designer put a limit on how long your last name should be; I don't quite understand the purpose of this limit and honestly I'm curious about why.

This source is very helpful for people who want to use the same account but have grown more mature over time and have different views of things. It is also a tutorial to help people to hide what they don't want people they know now to see from their past. It is benefitting everyone, including the people who shared controversial opinions or people who insulted others on the internet.

People trying to be bots and bots trying to be more human-like make social media more confusing. Because of AI technology, it is getting harder and harder to distinguish whether something is true or not. Although the easy access of AI brings a lot of convenience for people, the easy access also benefits people who have bad intentions. Those people can use AI to cause a bad scene and users can't distinguish if it's true or not, causing people to believe those unreal things and use them against each other.

There is no absolute truth to wether something is right or wrong. Ethics is based on what most people agreed on. In this society, sometimes people ignore their own feelings and just agreed on something because majority thinks that way. In some cases, people could be "unethical" just because they have a unpopular opinion or look at a stuff another way. One behavior could be ethical in one culture and unethical in another which shows how moral standards are very subjective.

I totally disagree with the divine command theory. If people are being stop to do certain things just because God said it is right or wrong, then religion is losing its purpose. God should be a figure that creates hope and faith for people, not limiting people based on what God says. To me Divine Command Theory sounds like using God as a weapon to force people to behave a certain way. Not everything should be related to religion and not everyone has the same believe. Therefore, it is important to listen to your thoughts and using reasoning to decide your opinion on something. Human are unique because everyone is different and has their own opinions.
