ACTIVITY 7.2 - Click Safe, Shop Smart!

 

E-commerce carries some risks, but these can be eliminated or minimized by paying attention to certain key factors. Customer satisfaction and reviews are one of the most crucial ones. Reading product reviews and ratings serves to authenticate the quality of both the product and the seller. Positive customer feedback as a result of satisfaction usually points towards good product quality and service, while repeated negative reviews can be red flags.

Another key consideration is the supply chain. Having a sound and efficient supply chain of the seller lowers the risk of delays, errors in orders, or damaged products. A clear and well-controlled supply chain makes it more likely that deliveries are made on time and accurately, which has a direct impact on customer trust and satisfaction.

Security is a top priority in e-commerce as well. Safety of personal and financial data is paramount. To avoid this risk, it is wise to do business on websites with secure sites (displayed with "https" in the address) and good data protection practices. Applying two-factor authentication and not using public Wi-Fi while making payments are good habits too.

Finally, payment terms need to be secure and flexible. Selecting reputable payment modes, like secure online wallets or cash on delivery, can ensure safety from fraud or unauthorized transactions. Utilizing websites that provide buyer protection or refund policies further contributes to secure payments.

Through prudent regard for customer feedback, supply chain, security arrangements, and secure payment, risks in e-commerce can be dramatically minimized, leading to a more secure and satisfying shopping experience.

ACTIVITY 10.2 - From Scrolls to Shares: How Ordinary Citizens Uphold Digital Ethics

  After conducting interviews with four non-professional individuals—a vegetable vendor, a sikad driver, a tricycle driver, and a sari-sari store owner—I learned that while most of them are unfamiliar with the term “digital citizenship,” they still practice many of its principles in their daily online behavior. Only the sari-sari store owner had heard of digital citizenship and was able to define it as being a responsible internet user who knows how to behave, what to post, and how to treat others online. The other three had never heard of the term, but when asked to guess, they gave thoughtful responses suggesting it had something to do with using the internet or mobile devices properly and responsibly. All four interviewees use smartphones to connect to the internet, mostly for social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Their common online activities include watching reels or videos, chatting with friends and family, and checking messages for business or per...

  Instagram is a photo and video sharing social media platform that allows users to upload media with filters, hashtags, and share their location through geotagging. It serves as a powerful tool for communication, enabling direct messaging and interaction between users. Additionally, Instagram's Stories feature allows for real-time updates and quick, casual sharing with followers. Instagram may also serve as a source of entertainment as it has a lot of content in it and a platform for online community-building, enabling individuals to connect one-on-one or through a GC (group chat). The app significantly influences various aspects of personal, social, emotional, and mental well-being. On a personal level, it offers a platform for self-expression and creativity, allowing users to share curated content that reflects their identities.
