Nature has always entranced me with a feeling of awe and wonder with its elegance, at the same time it gives me a sense of calmness and comfort with its serenity. To be honest, this is an understatement, for I will never be able to put into words, of how I feel whenever I am in one of these escapades in nature. In the end all that I am sure of is that it gives me bliss and peace of mind, thus I will always love and cherish nature and our planet, the only home we’ll ever know.

Of course the people who are the most important in my life and inspires me the most are my Parents. Most of my wisdom comes from both of them and they always push me to do my greatest, and they have always supported me in any journey I partake in. I will always love them both.

RESPECT, that is my primary operating principle. One that contributes greatly to creating the person that I am today. I believe that through respect, there would not only be peace but also prosperity as everyone would learn how to put aside their differences but also learn on how to work with one another.

Before owning any pets I have already been advocating for animal rights, as I have observed that there are many stray cats or dogs in my city that were either hurt or killed as they were seen as pests. After becoming an owner of two wonderful cats my will to further advocate for animal rights has only strengthened. Nowadays I do everything that I can in order to help strays and aid in the fight for better animal rights.

One of the traits that I posses that slightly makes me stand out from my peers and people in my age, is that I'm somewhat of an astronomy or astrophotography geek. It's not that I love astronomy in particular, but I just find the study and especially the pictures to be breathtaking which led me to dive deep into the study.

P.S.

That is how I found out that I have a knack for cooking, eventually I started to do all the cooking in my Home and nowadays, I cook breakfast and dinner for my family.

WHICH OF THE DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP ELEMENTS IS MOST IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT TO YOU AS A GEN Z TEEN?

As a GEN Z teen who is born digital or categorized as a “Digital Native”, I believe that among the 9 elements of digital citizenship, Digital Literacy is the most important. As a digital native teen we would mostly get our news from the internet or social media, thus being digital literate and being able to differentiate between real and fake news is integral in our lives. This allows us to avoid misconceptions that can negatively impact our beliefs, values, personality, and so on and so forth.

As a student, what do you think are the usual instances and reasons for your need of information? What tasks have you done in the past that required searching information for you to complete them?

There are many reasons as to why a person would need information, it could be just to stay informed, out of curiosity, or etc. As students we also have many reasons as to why we need information, it could be due to a homework, to learn more about a certain topic, to study, to improve their skills, and many more. I myself, as a student, have also searched for information in order to complete a task. I did this when we had an activity in our 10th grade in which we needed to create a 800 word argumentative essay for our chosen topic. During this task I would regularly search for information in order to make my argumentative essay much more accurate, detailed, and compelling.

Have you experienced correcting someone or being corrected by someone on fake news? How's your relationship now? Share your experience.

In the past I have experienced being corrected on fake news. I cannot properly recall what the fake news was about, although I do remember it being political. It was a friend of mine who corrected me of the fake news that I shared, at first I couldn't believe it was fake, although as he showed me more and more evidence and facts I started to believe that It was fake. Now we are still close friends, and I even believe that him correcting me was able to further strengthen our relationship.

How will you apply what you've learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that you are respecting the rights of creators while still effectively communicating your own ideas?

Through the lessons regarding intellectual property rights, I was able to learn more about different property rights laws, differences between a Patent, Trademark, and Copyright, and most importantly I learned of their importance for creators. With this information I now know that respecting the ownership of intellectual property is not only a moral obligation but one that is also a lawful obligation. As such in order to make use of property made by creators while still being able to communicate my own ideas, I could do two things. First if possible, I should contact and ask permission from the owner to use their creation or property for my own work. Second, if I could not contact the owner and still yet decide to use their property for my work, I must provide proper credit, recognition, or the source of the original creation or creator. In this manner I am able to respect the rights of other creates and also effectively communicate my own ideas.

During and after playing these two games, I felt uneased as how reflective these games were to the current narrative of our media. It also opened my eyes to how easy it is to sow mistrust, anxiety, and fear to the public by just simply posting in social media, and how one person has the power to change the course of history itself. Although in the bright side, these games are also a good way to spread information and awareness regarding fake news and the spread of disinformation, as it had done for me. Overall these games are a valuable tool in this modern era as they can be utilized in order to promote digital literacy that would aid us in the fight against fake news.

MIL has taught me how to critically evaluate information and media content. It has made me more aware of the various biases and agendas that can be present in news reporting and other forms of media. I have learned how to fact-check sources, identify propaganda, and distinguish between real and fake news. Additionally, MIL has helped me understand the role that media plays in shaping public opinion and influencing societal norms. These skills and knowledge are important not only in my academic work but also in my personal life, where I can apply them to make informed decisions about important issues that affect me and the world around me.
