Goals
The purpose is to examine students' opinion about online tolerance and, in general, about behavior that is permissible on the Internet. Students’ opinion is examined in the following aspects: do they know the meaning of the concept of "tolerance"; have they been threatened or insulted on the Internet and how do they actually react in such a case; did they offend or threaten anyone else on the Internet and how did they feel about it after their offence; how do they express feelings and mood through the text and symbols; do they really comply with the time they communicate through messages or video links with others? In addition, the study focuses on their perspective on tolerance in general - can children provide a definition, can they give an example and how theoretical knowledge influences their real behavior.
