Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents a philosophical and anthropological exploration of cyberbullying as a contemporary form of cultural deviation within the context of the modern information age. The 21st century is characterized by an unprecedented wave of digitalization and globalization, which poses significant challenges to national cultures striving to preserve their unique identities. In this rapidly evolving landscape, humanistic and moral values are increasingly tested and often destabilized. Cyberbullying—defined as harassment and intimidation through digital platforms—emerges not only as a social issue but also as a reflection of deeper cultural and ethical crises. Of particular concern are distorted interpretations of history and culture, along with the intensifying consumerist attitudes toward nature and identity. These trends are mirrored in the rise of discriminatory practices, including racism and anti-Semitism, which proliferate across social media, messaging platforms, and digital media spaces. The study seeks to understand these phenomena through a cultural-philosophical lens, emphasizing the urgent need for ethical reflection in the digital age.
