After completing the Go Viral and The Bad News Games, reflect on what you learned from it. Narrate your overall reflection on everything that you have realized from these games.

After playing, I've concluded that the Go Viral and The Bad News games offer crucial insights into how netizens utilize social media and online communication to disseminate rumors and influence public opinion. I was initially quite baffled by how it operated. Understanding how it should be played was challenging, but eventually, I fully grasped the basic concepts. The online game Go Viral mimics how false information spreads on social media. I was a social media user attempting to grow their community by producing and disseminating content relevant to their target market. I must admit that I enjoyed it. The Bad News game, on the other hand, tries to inform players about the strategies employed in propaganda and fake news. I practiced creating false statements while learning to affect the public's perspective through emotional appeals, conspiracies, and other deceptive methods. These games aim to raise awareness about the potential risks of misinformation and encourage players to be more critical news consumers by highlighting the value of fact-checking and critical thinking.

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?

As a Media and Information Literate, I would apply my understanding of intellectual property rights to ensure that I respect the rights of creators while effectively communicating my ideas by acknowledging the source, seeking permission, and staying informed. I guarantee to offer proper acknowledgment by citing the source whenever I use someone else's work. This involves citing or attributing the original author. Doing so would avoid plagiarism and maintain the creator's rights. Furthermore, I would seek out the author or owner of the work for permission before using it for commercial or non-commercial reasons. This includes obtaining licenses, consent, or paying royalties if necessary. Finally, for legal compliance, averting legal issues, maximizing the advantages of intellectual property, and safeguarding your reputation, it is essential to be educated about current laws, rules, and guidelines relating to intellectual property rights. It is crucial to being a responsible and ethical creator or professional.

How will you use this knowledge (Advertising Literacy) to influence the world for good?

Advertising literacy refers to the capacity to make well-informed judgments regarding goods and services based on their advantages and actual value instead of being persuaded by creative marketing strategy. By imparting my understanding of advertising to others, I can use my capacity for the betterment of the world. People may tell when a specific marketing campaign is targeting them by understanding marketers' numerous advertising strategies. Those aware of this information may pick the products and services they would purchase with more excellent knowledge. With the information I acquired about advertising literacy in the Media Information Literacy course, I may contribute to the benefit of society, where individuals will have the marketing expertise necessary to distinguish between the truth and lies.

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

Yes, I have experienced correcting someone on fake news. It was during the quarantine days when people are to believe that a certain tablet is more effective than the actual vaccine as a cure and protection against covid-19. My father, when he found out about the news, he immediately bought a pack of that tablet. I approach him and said that the information he found was fake. I also prove it with the statement of DOH confirming the issue.

The spread of fake news has become a significant issue in today's world, and it's essential to correct misinformation to promote accurate and truthful information. However, correcting someone on fake news can sometimes be challenging, as people may hold strong beliefs and be resistant to changing their opinions, just like my father.

In such situations, it's crucial to approach the conversation with empathy and respect, avoiding judgment or ridicule. It's also helpful to present evidence and credible sources to support your correction, allowing the person to make an informed decision.

9 Elements of Digital Citizenship (Digital Security)

# data[].attributes.body
Which of the Digital Citizenship Elements is most important or relevant to you as a Gen Z teen?

As a Gen Z teenager, the most important and relevant element of digital citizenship is Digital Security. Digital security refers to the technological safeguards that provide safety. The internet has been regarded as the major source of knowledge on everything in the twenty-first century, yet it may also put people in risk. For instance, we frequently use the entertainment app TikTok, but before we can use it, we must provide them personal information including our full name, address, phone number, and social media accounts. By doing this, we already publicly disclose the private information we have. Therefore, when utilizing media, we must take digital security into account. There are numerous incidents relating to digital safety, and we must consider these issues in order to devise strategies for protecting ourselves online.

WOMEN CAN DO MORE BUT PEOPLE EXPECT THEM TO DO LESS!

Feminism is a serious topic. We must stop using excuses relating to gender to let an individual be less significant, particularly to women.

Violence and discrimination against women are inhuman. Ladies are part of society, community, and country. They are also a child of God. Therefore, disrespecting them means facing a lifetime punishment.

Women's Empowerment is promoting women's sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others. In terms of work, salary, and entrepreneurship, gender has no legal barriers to this. They have the right to get equally paid, work in their desired professions and build their own business.

Empowerment is a fundamental human right that's also key to achieving a more peaceful and inequality-free nation.

I was born on March 10, 2006. I am an only child of Mrs. Cristina and Mr. Bernardino Getizo.

I was named after my mother's favorite female lead in a Spanish drama. She said, my name stands for "messenger of God." A blessing, they say.

I live in New Corella, Davao del Norte but recently I moved to Davao City for my studies. I am currently a student at Ateneo de Davao University - Senior High School.

As a Pisces, I always let my creativity and imagination go in wild.

The picture above was taken in my 9th Grade when our subject teacher in Music and Arts made us remake an artwork of our chosen artist using only materials that are available in our respective homes.

Since I don't have any art materials, especially paint and brushes, I used leftover paints and mixed them together to create a different color, a sponge for paint brushes, and cardboard for canvas as an alternative.

I actually received a perfect score during this time. My classmates and close friends were also amazed and proud of me. I was bombarded with praise.

I think this is what makes me stand out from my peers because I was able to use my talent as an interesting aspect of myself. It lets me be unique and distinctive.

With the ups and downs of our friendship, the bond must remain through proper communication.

Live Independently
Nothing stays in this world.

Let go of worry, fear, and anxiety
Replace negativity with enriching thoughts that bring me closer to the life I wish to live.

Generosity and Sympathy toward others
In a society full of chaos, kindness is what makes it balance. Keep donating, volunteering, and helping for the greater good.

Practice Gratitude
Appreciate what I have instead of complaining about what I don't have. I must be grateful for everything, even the smallest things because someone is longing for what I take for granted.

Personal Development
I should immerse myself in inspiring material that encourages me to become someone of character. I must see a small improvement in myself every day and see it as a chance for a change.

I like to do food experiments.

This might be the weirdest trait of mine but I really love to discover and explore different things.

You would probably think that the picture looks okay but I assure you in reality, it isn't. I did a little experiment when cooking the meat however I'm not gonna say what it is.

I'm gonna be HONEST, the experiment did not go as planned.
