Yes, I do behave and communicate differently online than I do face-to-face. For example, when speaking to somebody in person, my tone is much more polite and respectful because of the presence of a physical barrier between us that encourages me to be cautious with my words. On the other hand, when communicating online or through text, there are fewer restrictions on my language so I may use phrases or jokes that could come across as insensitive or inappropriate if spoken directly to someone. Additionally, since there is no physical presence that needs to be respected in an online setting, it can be easy for people to forget about how their words might affect others’ feelings and intentions.

Being “fully human” means having a deep sense of connection and empathy towards oneself and those around them. It requires kindness and understanding even in times of disagreement or stress. In virtual spaces like this classroom, it is possible for us to express this same level of humanity through thoughtful communication such as writing meaningful posts in our discussion boards without attacking anyone personally and being able to have a civil conversation with our peers even if we disagree on certain topics. However, it can also be difficult due to the nature of virtual interactions where some people may not respond kindly even if approached respectfully which can lead down an unproductive path of discourse instead of productive one-on-one dialogue necessary for growth among individuals.
