How media have affected you?
1. Cognitive
- Media affected me in the cognitive level by means of what I always see on my social media accounts, specifically facebook. I remember when an issue about Michelle Dy allegedly stealing a copyrighted trademark of Jefree Star from his youtube channel and how Jefree Star reacted to it, it gave me an information that has been stuck to my mind how much of a controversial man is Jefree Star by overreacting to this not-so-big of a deal issue that he had with Michelle Dy, and now, everytime I think about Jefree Star, I just see him making everything about himself.
2. Attitudinal
- Media affects my beliefs whenever I see posts about old people or what we call lolo’s and lola’s who are working really hard to earn money for their family and people around them are just ignoring and it makes me think about my beliefs about the actions of our people in this generation and it is just so wrong. Instead of ignoring them, why can’t they think of helping them, even just a bit of help because I think, that would be a really huge help for them and their family.
3. Beliefs
- Media affects my beliefs when I saw this post about a boy studying while he works because I can see that he will do everything to make sure that he can get his education while some people out there who already have everything they can probably have still complaining about how crappy their lives are when they can’t see how these kids would be beyond happy experiencing the life they had.
4. Emotional
- Media affects me emotionally every time I watch films from our country or what we usually call “indie films” because I feel like I can totally relate to it and I feel every pain that the main character feels when his/her relationship failed or every time someone was friend-zoned and especially when someone dies. It just breaks my heart in to pieces and it makes me cry so hard that I cannot fully go over it for like, a week or something.
5. Physiological
- Physiologically speaking, media affects me when I see posts about a kid, an adult, a teenager, a “lola” getting raped and killed by some monsters who deserves to die than these innocent girls and women who deserves nothing but justice but some ignorant people says things like, it was the victim’s fault for dressing too sexy or something. A kid dresses sexy? A old woman dresses sexy? I don’t think so.
6. Behavioral
- Media triggers my behavioral level everytime I see an advertisement of a cheek tint or a lip tint on instagram or facebook and a lot of my friends know how much I love these products that’s why I can’t stop myself from buying these.

How powerful are media and information?
We can see in this photograph a husband and a wife showing a very intimate relationship with each other, but at the same time, sharing a very intimate relationship with their cellphones.
Yes, media serves a very powerful tool in different fieldworks in our society. Helping them do things the easier way and be more convenient. But in our current situation, media is slowly taking over our world making us unaware of the things and events that are happening around us. It makes us ignorant to the things thaw we should be giving attention to. And lastly, it does not give us the quality time to share with our loved ones.
