Description
Summary:In the shadows of the current tensions that frames our digital spaces, this paper explores how teaching for the practice of dignity of persons and digital discipleship can be act as an effective religious educational response to cyberbullying. Imploring a theoretical approach with a practical theological analysis drawn out of Catholic church teachings and discourse on the dignity of persons and discipleship, this paper offers an understanding of digital discipleship and dignity of persons specifically formed for responding to attacks on human dignity like that of cyberbullying through the use of the practical pedagogical method of ‘see, judge, and act.’
