It is suggested that newspapers are still the best source of information. Do you agree or disagree?

Along with the rapid technological advancement seen on current living standards recently, people put more attention on which is the most reliable source of information. It is suggested that newspapers are still the best source of information, which I strongly disagree for the following reasons below.
 

First of all, it is irrefutable that somehow most news written on print media are more reliable as compared to articles published online. The reasons are that before information are being released to the public, they undergo several process such as editing, proofreading and printing. This method would make sure that the veracity of information are checked not only by few people but also limits the occurrence of deception or bias. Newspapers may be reliable but not convenient for both publishing companies and clients. The publication process is too tedious and costly. As a result, more people choose reading news on the internet over buying printed media.


In addition, the internet played a more marketable role in terms of updating the people of the latest news or current events. It had presented headlines, stories or articles in a more exciting fashion. People could now watch videos and marvel of photos that support the veracity of these issues. Moreover, before the advent of the internet and the only way to read news was through newspapers, information seems hard to understand. Readers have to imagine and need to be proficient on the medium of language used. Currently, the public does not have to do that. In fact, they could just look at photos or watch videos and smoothly get the main content of what is being articulated by the reporters on the internet.


Taking everything into account, although I believe that newspapers are one of the important sources of news, I still feel that the internet is the most effective tool to gather news and information.

ACTIVITY 2 - IGOROTS

Image
Igorots are one of the marginalized groups in the Philippines. What made them different and special among the others? Let me walk you through the simple living of the Igorots in the mountains of the Cordillera. Blame it to e arlier books that taught us in school or inadequate research about us. This had inculcated wrong information for us since then and until now. To exemplify, we were described as people with tails, dark skin, and curly hair and physically short. Additionally, others still think that we are head hunters. In contrast, it is only true to a specific Igorot tribe found in the northern province of Cordillera region. Now, most of us are civilized and educated thus culture and traditions are starting to be modified especially to the new generations where social media has a huge impact on their way of thinking. Though we live up north, we remain abreast on every change. We aim for education and save values enlightened by our beliefs. Our appearance is diverse but we ...

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to socialize online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or negative development? Along with the rapid and constant development of people’s standard of living seen on the utilization of advanced technology, there is an arising issue on what is real socialization. The question is whether socialization through the internet is either a positive or negative change. Although, there may be detriments of online communication, I still concur that this is still a positive development. First of all, socialization online has brought family and friends even closer and stronger. In fact, even children and aged people do have their own social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram or Line. This has led them to be constantly connected even when in distant places. While in the past, staying in touch with a friend or family member who lives far away is impossible and talking with them over the phone is costly. That is different now, the a...
