In today’s world, anonymous websites make it possible to bully one without revealing any identification, “A 14-year old girl was found hanged in her bedroom after receiving hate messages on her ask.fm page where they told her to cut herself, drink bleach, and kill herself. [On this website], the users are allowed to ask questions while remaining anonymous” (Nobullying 1). As long as these websites exist, there is no possible way to stop individuals with access to the internet from bullying their peers. Therefore, a global village will never be able to exist due to people abusing their power to control their actions when it comes to bullying online. In addition, bullying on social media has become an unmanageable problem for some teenagers, “Last year I got an Instagram account made about me.

Since no one could stop Gonzalez for two years, one can observe that a global village would be impossible to manage due to individuals like Albert Gonzalez. Other hacking cases include those in which huge organizations were affected great, “[Jonathon] James hacked into NASA’s network and downloaded enough source code to learn how the International Space Station worked... To add insult to injury, NASA had to shut down their network for three whole weeks while they investigated the breach, which cost them $41,000” (1). This case greatly upset the world and showed that even NASA, an organization with impeccable protection that guards their systems, wasn’t completely safe from the dangers of cyberspace. Furthermore, if NASA can’t manage their own miniature village, the world won’t be able to manage their own huge global village. In addition, hackers may also be able to illegally
