Smallish Post 7

I have never thought about creating my own code of ethics. It seems like living the gospel and keeping the commandments does that to some degree. It is convenient that this class lesson topic came at this time because a few days ago I was asked a question that placed me at the verge of my moral boundaries. I took some time to consider both sides and decided to say within my own personal moral bounds. It was reassuring to read the material for having my own personal code of ethics because it gave me some amount of comfort for the decision that I had made. Even though it seems like writing out personal ethics it a bit pointless, I do think it would help to solidify your thoughts and opinions on many matters and give one some more determination to adhere to them.

vlog - Internet Safety

I really enjoyed reading the articles on internet safely and completely agree with what they said. I have seen how dangerous the internet can be and how tricky it can be to navigate it safely. I love what the articles say about internet safety specifically within the home such as with filtering, keeping the computer in a well-used room, and establishing family rules. I think establishing family rules is very important.
Something that can often be neglected is reminding our family why we establish family rules about the internet. Simply making rules may peak curiosity and could then lead to seeking out what the internet holds. If we remember to explain to our family that the intent of the rules is to keep our family safe then I think we can mitigate some of that potential curiosity.
Overall, family rules should be set regarding the internet in the home and there should be a description of the purpose for the imposed rules.
