Hi everyone. I am going to give out a short presentation on the article written by Alison Adam, cyberstalking , gender and computer ethics on 5th March.
An outline of the presentation is provided as fellows.
1) The power relations of gender reflecting in information and communication technologies.- technological determinism
2) The Feminist ethnics and the computer-based behavior
-inequalities in power
3) Online sexual harassment -Quotation from Catherine MacKinnon, the sexual harassment as “the unwanted imposition of the sexual requirement in the context of a relationship of unequal power. Central to the concept is the use of power derived from one social sphere to lever benefits or impose deprivations in another.”
4) Cyberstalking - Victims in the cases discussed are all females.

After my presentation, I tried to present the idea from the reading but without further discuss example to illustrate the situation cyberstalking. The example discussed that one victim is the traditional "ex-lover", but the others women are became victim because they are chosen up to speak up in publicly on internet about perceived justice and turned them into the victims they were criticizing. The victims discussed in the case study but the perpetrator was mainly male. I think I can improve the summarize skill in juxtaposing the examples and the major idea in the reading.
