My Stand About Plagiarism, Piracy, Bias Media, and the like

These issues are understandably very concerning. As a student I can admit that I have done some of these things like plagiarism and piracy. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t regret doing these things because these issues can already be considered as an offense to the law. Other issues like the media being bias towards their delivery of the news are also wrong, but somehow media outlets can always get away with it. It can get pretty unfair because in the end the ones who are being affected are the viewers themselves. I personally think that justice should be served and that the people should also learn the wrong things that have been happening on the media. Including the issues regarding plagiarism and piracy since not a lot of people understand the consequence one can get if ever caught red-handed. It might be hypocritical to say this but as it is now the current media environment isn’t getting any better to the point where the innocent people are getting blame for doing it.

How to be socially responsible in my social networking accounts

First and foremost you need to understand that the internet consists of users who are also real people just like you because sometimes we tend to forget that the people who we sometimes make fun of or even bash online are also people just like you. From the other side of the screen they are just as human as you. They too have emotions and feelings that are sometimes fragile from violent reactions and hateful comments online.

Be wary of what you post online, since others may misunderstand your post which can result in dislikes that come from these people. Sometimes people may take your post out of context which is a very normal thing to happen. If it ever happens try to understand as to why they misinterpret your post and then show some clarification to what you have said from your post.

Lastly try not to post or share too much information online because other people can use this information to attack or hack your account. This includes sensitive information such as contact information, home address, and other personal information that can be used against you online.

What is my favorite gadget?

I can easily say that my favorite gadget would be a smartphone. Well for a lot of reasons. I can’t really compare the time that I have used my smartphone compare to other gadgets that I own since most of the time I just prefer using my smart phone. 

To me it all boils down to its functionality. You can’t really underestimate the things that a phone can do. It can take pictures that have a higher quality compared to the cameras that we had back in a day. Communicating with others has never been so easy. It can do emails, SMS, voicemails and a lot of other ways you can send messages to other people. In terms of entertainment it can do it in a lot of ways. Like watching videos, playing games, or even finding out what is currently trending in the news. This also brings to another functionality a smartphone has which is the never ending source of information. You can find a lot of information in social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Search engines can also give you access to internet content like Google and Yahoo. 

The bottom line is that smartphones can do you a lot of things whether it’d be entertainment or multitasking which is the reason why I favor it over any other gadgets that is available to me.

Never Gonna Give You Up

Rick Astley

The music video really compliments the good vibes emanating from the song. Every time the chorus hits the visuals somehow matches with it. Even though it’s an old music sometimes it makes me feel a lot of nostalgia. Some people in the video even have interaction throughout the song. I also quite like the singers expression when dancing with the tunes. Which matches to singers message to her love of never giving her up, never letting her down, never gonna run around and dessert her.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

The song is all about the troubles of having an experience of love at first sight. Like the crushes that we had back in the day which would turn out to be just puppy love. This can be similar to the experience of having a call back from your crush. Coincidentally this is also embedded in the lyrics of the song. The part were the girl approaches her crush and proceeds to give him her number even though she was bashful to the whole situation. There is another situation where the girl just can’t take her eyes away from the guy because he was just that good-looking. This just shows to how this was certainly an occurrence of love at first sight.

Star the fun!

This is a sponsored advertisement from Facebook. The images in this photo can immediately catch the eye of a user because not only does it show various dishes, it also looks very appetizing. The prices shown somehow tempts you to buy it because it offers a very good deal. The “Family Savers” is also a message to the consumer that this is a great deal for family get together’s especially since you can also save some money.
