Journal Writing T3 W7 : Graciousness

The meaning of graciousness is pleasantly kind, benevolent, and courteous. Some examples of acts of graciousness are to be helpful to people and to use kind words to people such as thank you. Acts of graciousness I have personally done is help my neighbour carry things she cannot carry by herself. Other reasons I think we should be gracious to one another is so that they will treat us the same way. I think Singaporeans are generally gracious as they say thank you when I help them with something. We make Anderson pupils more gracious by encouraging them to be gracious by giving rewards when they are gracious. I like the 'Magical Dust of Kindness' project as it was very meaningful. I benefitted from this project as it had taught me to be gracious.

Journal Writing T3 W6 : Cyber Contacts

I have never revealed my personal information online as I do not think it is save to do so.
Some forms of personal information that can be shared online are age,gender and hobbies. Some forms cannot be shared online are photos,full name,phone number,email address and house address and your school. The dangers of sharing personal information are if you reveal your photos, people may use it against you. If you reveal your full name, they may make fun out of your name. If you reveal your phone number and email address, you may get unwanted calls and emails. If you reveal your house address and school,they may harrass you. I would not give any of my personal information if my Cyber pal requested for personal information to be shared and I will stop talking to him and ignore him. I would also tell my parents about him. If any of my cyber pals asked me to go out with them, I would not do so as it is very dangerous as I do not know them. But I would if it is someone I know and trust. I would also tell my parents and get them to come with me. I can protect myself from people with evil intentions in the cyber space by not mixing with them and not chatting with anyone I do not know.
