Reflection

The most important was understanding the topic properly because I could not find related and reliable materials when I did not understand the topic at first. I am glad I started this assignment early and had ample time and opportunity to ask the lecturer about this topic. I tried to use chat GPT and I have learned that the AI software cannot help me as it gave me generic answers even after I tried with another questions. After thinking about it, I realised that it is not that the software could not help me but maybe I did not type specific keywords or ask the right questions. My next step is learning how to use chat GPT efficiently as it will become a tool that will help me next time. Articles that I put in my Padlet had the study of media other than the English language. This is because I think it is good to see how political oppression not only happens in Western media but also offer different political oppression and ideology from other parts of the world. All in all, whilst working on this assignment I realised Padlet is an incredible website that can help me collect information, data, and resources and it is easy to navigate. I will consider using it for my research project and future assignments.
