Granted there is no way to answer this question correctly, but I think that while the online world can be hit and miss as far as safety goes a little common sense would solve half or more of the problems with people losing money online i.e. Take the Nigerian scam, if you fall for something like that you probably deserved to be scammed...okay nobody deserves to be scammed but it was still your own fault...the old saying if its too good to be true...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
