I like these media because of their ability to build awareness, foster connection, offers entertainment, and is a platform for self-expression. Media serves as a primary source for news about current events or certain concepts. Which is why it helps us be more educated and allows us to be more conscious about issues regarding our society. Though in order to attain it, we must choose an accurate and factual source. Media also fosters connection because it is a medium for communication. Through media, it enables us to foster a sense of community and be able to connect with other individuals. Which will help in spreading advocacies and persuasions. Media is a place for relaxation, as it provides entertainment which will help me recover from a stressful day. Lastly, media allows individuals to share their thoughts, opinions, preferences, and creativity. It is a space for expressing our personal authenticity. These are the factors that convince me of why I like these media.

• How are these media influencing or affecting me? (my lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, behavior). Is this healthy? If yes, how come? If not, what steps should you take to change it?

These media influence my lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, and behavior both positively and negatively. Yes, media does offer a number of good benefits. It helps lessen the workload, provides entertainment, raises consciousness, etc. Though media also often reduces productivity and can be a bad place for our mental health due to its toxicity. Which is why we must be a healthy and responsible digital citizen. We should limit our media consumption and engage in offline activities more often. We must learn to balance media and reality. And we must ensure that it contributes well to the well-being of others and ourselves. As digital citizens, we must use media for the good. I can utilize it by promoting advocacies or ensuring that the contents I share leaves a great or positive impact to others.
