Privacy Concerns and Trust Entities in Online Information Disclosure in China

The paper will examine the interaction between possible causes and results of internet usage and internet privacy concern through trust entities in China. It will analyze how different reasons for internet privacy circumstances influence online information disclosure behavior.

We will collect data from internet users in China with different nationalities. The results will confirm that online privacy concerns vary across various factors such as trust entities, past internet experience, previous internet knowledge, and online shopping. Furthermore, the significance of the link between privacy concerns and attitudes toward trust will be tested.

Digital Literacy

The assignment involves completing online research and writing a mini research paper on your findings. In order to complete it successfully, you will need to choose a narrow, focused topic; research that topic; write a 1-2 page essay, i

Step 1: Choose a Topic

Your first task is to pick a topic to research. Since digital literacy is the subject of the course, as a broad guideline you should choose a narrowly-focused topic that is related to the digital world and phrase it as a question. The specific topic that you choose is ultimately up to you. However, topics related to elections should be current.

The following are some sample topics– you can use them as a model, but should formulate your own specific, narrow topic:

In what specific ways did [Politician X] use social networking in his/her/their 2020 Presidential campaign and how does this differ from how other politicians used it?

How is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez using Instagram in her role in the United States Congress?How is it effective and how might it be problematic?

How does the digital divide affect residents in [name of country,city and rural area?

Step 2: Research your Topic

One approach to the research process is to ask Who, What, Where, When, and Why questions in your search. Put the answers to these journalistic questions into a short piece written as if you were a reporter.

Step 3: Write the Mini-Essay

Once you have completed your research, you will write a 500-word essay (this is the equivalent of 1-2 double-spaced pages). This essay must:

Include a relevant image in addition to the text of the essay;

Be based on research you did for this assignment; and

Attribute your sources and link to them using “nice links” to make it clear where information or quotations came from (see how to create “nice links”). You can do what newspaper reporters do: if you have an interesting fact or quotation, briefly say where you got it (“According to …”; “So-and-so reports that…”).
