Media is an important part of our life now, it is playing a very important role in every way of life. It connects us with the scenarios in the world and informs us many things like news, history, entertainment etc.  Which helps us lot in being an upgraded personality.

There was a time when man used to know nothing about the happenings in this world, his outer knowledge was just up to his backyard or village. But as time passes, things discovered and new ideas and thoughts invented things like camera, satellite, microphone, etc. These things made life easy for every single individual living in this world. Man was being updated day by day and minute by minute from each and every news.

Now in this time, media is so vast that we just need to turn on our televisions by pressing a button and we get all the knowledge that we want or even just by searching on search engines on the internet we get each and every information regarding, news, history, geography, music and entertainment and many more and for this the good and common example we have is Google. We can find each and everything or any kind of news and updates by just writing the name on this search engine and on the next second we can see the news and information about that particular subject.

Media helps in bringing the true facts and information of the world in front of our eyes. If there was no media, then there was life but without any information and knowledge.

The Evolution of Traditional to New Media

Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700s)

People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. Examples:Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC)

Industrial Age (1700s-1930s)

People used the power of steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) Examples: Newspaper- The London Gazette (1640)

Electronic Age (1930s-1980s)

The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People harnessed the power of transistors that led to the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. In this age, long distance communication became more efficient. Examples: Transistor Radio

Information Age (1900s-2000s)

The Internet paved the way for faster communication and the creation of the social network. People advanced the use of microelectronics with the invention of personal computers, mobile devices, and wearable technology. Moreover, voice, image, sound and data are digitalized.

“TRADITIONAL TO NEW”

Prehistory :

We need to consider and give emphasize from prehistoric age into digital age because of new innovations from the simplest going to complex invention. Without this era that passing by, there’s no new technologies that occur at the present in for the next generation.

The world of technology continues to change bring many changes. It can be quite confusing for students, especially when it comes to the news media. People hear news over the radio, television, and even their computers.Most technologies described as “new media” are digital, and often have characteristics of being networkable, dense, compressible, interactive and impartial. Examples are the internet, websites, computer multimedia, games, CD-ROMs and DVDs. Young people are attracted to the easy means of getting information with internet based terminals or hand phones which provide them information of their choice anytime, anywhere.

Both media platform serve the same target audience be it online, in print or broadcast. As mentioned, each form of media has an objective which is to disseminate a particular message and keep the masses informed. However, for those whom purposes resemble each other, they have same target audience to cater to and thus, garnering the same audience. They key success, if new media is to ever succeed traditional media, is advanced technology in internet. Although social networking through new media has increased crime rates, it is one of the shortcomings that can be eradicated. With technology, new media has definitely exceeded the abilities of traditional media as an advertising alternative and smoothened the process of gathering concrete information for news articles.

Old is gold. But that does not mean that new changes should be overlooked or even cast aside. It will be beneficial for RTM to tap ways to respond to the global financial crisis and changes in demand, so as to enhance its role in society.

Media refers to the tools of mass communication. Media today consists of television, Internet, cinema, newspapers, radio, magazines, direct mail, fax, and the telephone. Viewers can see some form of pictorial representation of messages through certain types of broadcasting and advertising. Images are visual representations, pictures, graphics, and include video, movies. Images are very useful in media to help get across messages effectively.

Media influence has become so powerful today that they can easily influence people positively and/or negatively. We also live in a society that depends on the media as a source of entertainment and information. Indeed, the media images affect both individuals and society which includes women, men, teenagers and younger children.

Today, our life will remain incomplete without media. For example, it provides an easy means of communication where people are able to contact friends and family from another side of the world. At the same time, media like television, radio and the Internet enhance our knowledge by providing access to information from all over the world. We can also receive different types of news or daily events through media, almost instantly, for example, through the Internet.

Generally, media has really played its role in each of us. The use of media can be both positive and negative to the individual or society. In a positive way, media makes our lifestyle easier, for example, we can get to know what is going on out there, locally or globally, within a short space of time. Even though there are so many benefits from media, we have to be careful not to let them influence us unknowingly. We need to be wise when using the media.

Hazing

Hazing is humiliating and dangerous, especially as imposed on college students seeking membership to a fraternity or sorority. Sometimes it cause death due to intense torture to a certain member from the group.

Rituals are sort of tradition that are needed to be done in any fraternitygroup. Some people join freternitygroups because it is needed to their school or they just really need protection.

tradition of things turns into the bondage of things causing innocent people to be held hostage killing freedom. Their are laws in play for Hazing and I have done studies after studies on hazing which is tormenting spiritually, mentally and physically.

Hazing: nonviolent way

A hazardous social issues in school. No one has the right to torture you whether you are guilty or not. Hazing, also found in several colleges and universities, has been a lingering problem that has caused the loss of several young lives in the past decades.

Hazing only promotes a culture of violence and revenge. Those who have undergone acts of hazing would most likely also want to do the same to the next batch of recruits. This cycle goes on and on, destroying young lives or losing them in the process. Don't you feel guilty if you hurt someone else? There are sure ways to stop hazing instead of doing violent reactions. Like the following suggestions in my research fraternities can be engage and encourage and other associations to develop a reading program that assists non-readers in public schools, Assign a recruit to a certain village or subdivision and ask him or her to write letters to the homeowners asking them for donations of books that can still be used at our public school libraries and all new recruits will be brought to a barangay and they will be tasked to develop a program to help maintain the cleanliness of the community. 

Hazing is destroying one's life. People must stop violent actions to prevent this kind of actions. There are sure ways to prevent hazing that can't hurt someone else.

POVERTY...

Poverty means lack of income and also in terms of needs. Poverty is a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Poverty is a deadly issue that's killing our population slowly.

There are many causes and effects of poverty it includes changing trends in a country 's economy, lack of education, high divorce rate which causesfeminization of poverty, having a culture of poverty, overpopulation, epidemic diseases such as AIDS and malaria, and environmental problems such as lack of rainfall. In other term poverty can make your life miserable There are a lot of negativpe effects that poverty has. In the poor districts, the crime rate is much higher, and the accidents of poisoning by water or food are more frequent in poor countries as well. People, who do not feel safe, are always anxious, nervous and intense.

Trying to relieve these negative effects, we must know how to act and be educated. We must study well and help poor people so we can show to them how much we care to our society. Some states have more issues of poverty than others, but it is sad to think of how many people are actually considered to be in poverty. This is an inequality that concerns me a lot, and is getting worse daily.

“DISCRIMINATION IN OUR SOCIETY”

Terrible, woeful, and sorrowful are commonly hard feelings cause by discrimination. A lot of people are suffering from this condition and situation that would lead to depression. The number of victims has been increasing and several of innocent person get affected. How can we help them?

Everyone wants to be open and free but unfortunately, there are some toxic people whose just roaming around and do nothing but to degrade anyone and looking for a new victim. In fact, those kind of person are the main reason why our economy gets hard to move forward. Because of discrimination people get an anxiety to express themselves. Other people cant show their skills and potentials because they were afraid to be discriminate. all of this cant help to our community and for sure, it has a significant impact in our society.

In our society where discrimination is rampant, everyone should make an action since we are all affected of it. We should not depend and wait for an action of the government but we must be responsible enough to defend ourselves and to protect the other’s right from discrimination. THEREFORE,  UNITY, LOVE, AND ACCEPTANCE TO EVERYONE IN OUR SOCIETY ARE NEEDED TO RESOLVE THIS ALARMING ISSUE.

PROCRASTINATION

        Procrastination is one of the most common social issues especially for the students, it happened a lot especially on making the task given by your teacher and must be done a head of time and all you do was nothing because you have though that it must be early to make your task. So instead of doing it, they used to play and watch movies for their leisure. Procrastination is also one of the cause of depression especially it tends to make you feel anxious of doing your task very late.

          It tends to feel us depressed when we did lots of task and we faced lots of problems. Depression is the most common issues that mostly teenagers are affected by this and somehow lots of people committed suicidal. Depression is when everything feels too hard. When you feel so low that things you previously enjoyed no longer hold that same joy. You wonder how you ever enjoyed anything at all. You wonder what other people have that you can’t get a hold of. You find it harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. You drag yourself through each day. You find it difficult to go to bed at night. That low is low that it seems to take over, overwhelming you in a way that you could not have imagined beforehand. The effort to do the small things is huge. The pressure to do is even bigger. People always say you should talk someone, to tell someone, but how do you put words on something so hard to even understand yourself? How do you explain to someone that you want to live your life but also you don’t know how you can? How do you explain that this is no longer feels like a choice, that it controls you not the other way around?.

        On order to overcome these problems we must first learn and know how to discipline ourselves and learn from our mistakes because it makes us to motivate ourselves to overcome our fears and challenges in lives. Avoid procrastination because theirs no benefit we can get from it and to it. We must start doing our task now before it’s too late to regret it. Change will start from within ourselves and by that all things will gonna work out if you will also believe in yourself that you can make it happen.
