The use of technology is becoming increasingly apparent in todays elementary and high schools. Although technology and social media has many positive qualities, the shortcomings of this modern technology are putting adolescents lives at risk. Cyberbullying is an ongoing and increasingly problematic social issue in today’s society.

Emilie Durkheim addresses the concept of mechanical and organic solidarity society, which is the transition from traditional rural societies to a modern day, technologically advanced society. Durkheim also came up with the theory of collective conscience, which relates to traditional society and although we all have our own meaning of what is right and wrong, we can all come together to collectively agree on certain ideas. Mechanical solidarity society is based on hunting and agriculture with limited division of labour. Everyone within this society developed similar experiences, thoughts and beliefs and passed on traditional practices as opposed to individual innovation (Dr. J.
