Mr.
Rodel Opiana discussed, on the fourth day, the Evolution of Media, from the
Pre-industrial Age to the present. It is amazing to see the evolution transcend
from manual printing to the digital era we have today. After our lesson, Mr.
Opiana gave us an activity to answer. It is a tabular form of the lesson we
had.

An assignment was also given to
us about the roles of media in the democratic society
EVO 1
Given the available media that we now have
in the world, what are its roles and functions in a
democratic society?
1. Amplifier – it will help people to voice out their
opinions they think are unheard. For example, newly evolved media, such as
twitter and facebook, help raise awareness on social issues
2. Channel – connects the government, society and
the people
3. Information source – provides the people their
right to be informed and helps the government to accomplish their
responsibility to inform citizens
4. Watchdog – helps eye the menace in the society
including crimes, corruption and illegal activities.

In
what way does media affect your life (personal, professional, academic, social,
others)?
Media
greatly affects my day to day activities. It provides me the information I need
to survive, literally. I need it to study and learn, and grow to be a
responsible and good citizen. I also use it to entertain myself. Life would be
boring without it. It is also the basis of my routine. I am also aware of the
happenings around me through media. It helps me keep myself safe.
