Many people believe that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative effect on children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Famous people like superstars are public figures that influence people of all ages but mostly impact the lives of youngsters, this is due to the fact that media people broadcast many things about these personalities to which I conform.

The every reason to agree with the claim is that celebrities are highly idolized by young people because of what they see and hear on the television and read on printed materials. Children imitate the image projected by these well-known people even if it does not result to desirable outcomes. The way teenagers nowadays dress themselves, pierce themselves and paint their bodies are the result of mainstream trending which are done by many great actors and actresses. These young individuals spend too much money and exert so much effort trying to look like the celebrities they adore which does not actually help them become better. This is clear identification that how celebrities conduct themselves affects also the way children project themselves especially in undesirable ways. Furthermore, the disseminated information by broadcasting networks regarding these famous people could also lead to high incidence of violence among young people. Most of the featured articles talks about a superstar on drugs or alcoholism or bad relationships which somehow instill the thought of doing the same acts also in the mind of the young. It is very well believed that children are easily swayed and they could attempt to do the same to drugs or alcohol and even relationship that could ruin them. It is then clear enough that media coverage regarding celebrities has untoward effects to youngsters.

In conclusion, there are sound arguments that emphasize the important role of the media concerning the topics on famous people that draws negative effects towards young individuals. I stand to reaffirm that I agree. Therefore, it is then recommended that media staff should ponder and think twice of the headlines they are to cover before bringing it out to the public.

ACTIVITY 2 - IGOROTS

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...
