Module Three

Step One:

I found a source where it shows groups of people who are more at risk of cyberbullying

and I discovered that these groups are a part of a discourse communities that are affected with

cyberbullying rather than other groups. But one group stuck out to me because it falls within

my major. Religion is a group where it is more common for the people to get bullied. There has

been countless evidence where people of religion are more likely to be bullied, it is even shown

in the bible where people were persecuted because of their religion and it is still shown in the

modern era because people cannot understand ones faith and the practices they carry out. It is

not much different than before; different religions may be more likely to become victims of

bullying because one may post something on social media regarding their religion and people

may come and attack them about their religion. This issue of religion and cyberbullying or

bullying in general pertains to me personally because I am a person of faith and I could relate to

this topic because there have been times where I wanted to show my faith by posting a picture

or retweet something but I always keep to myself about it because I do not want to deal with

the off chance that someone out there will come and try to attack me because of my faith. The

discourse community of religion and faith is relevant to my topic because now technology is
becoming into everyones life thus giving people another way to bully others and I found this

within the religious groups.

Step Two:

Citations are a huge key to building ethos in a paper, being able to bring in credible

sources and being able to cite them correctly in ones paper and having them on a works cited

page brings ethos to the paper and to the audience reading it. Being able to put citations in a

paper gives the audience a way to find the correct source on the works cited page and allowing

them to look at the source directly without searching for it, it gives them a way to go look at

your source and shows how credible the source is. Without having a credible paper people

brush it off as a bias paper with opinions where they couldnt be supported due to the lack of

sources but with a credible paper the audience will see how ones opinions are supported by

reliable resources thus giving the audience the credibility of ones work. Also having a credible

paper allows the author to also argue with the audience if someone tries to discredit the paper,

you can easily pull in sources to back up your claims.
