1. What are the major media languages that you need to consider in conveying and understanding
messages?
-Symbolic codes, Written codes, and technical codes.

2. How do media languages affect the audience and the Producers?

-With the use of media languages, the audiences are able to recognize, understand, and relate to the scene
presented. As they decode these symbols, they’d feel exhilarated, mind-blown, and maybe even scared; the
more they comprehend and feel all the emotions and actions, the more the viewers will enjoy the
presentation. Whereas the producers make use of these media languages. They brainstorm and express their
ideas creatively by incorporating these codes to communicate the message they want to share with the
people.

C. ANALYSIS
a. First article: “UP student plagiarizes prize-winning photos”
• In what competition did Solis send in his plagiarized work?
- Smiles for the World photo contest

3
 • Do you think technology and the internet have made plagiarism easier? Do you
think technology has made people more or less creative? Explain your answer by
citing examples.

- Yes. It has made plagiarism much easier since data from the internet is much
accessible compared to data offline. A simple ‘copy & paste’ can already plagiarize one’s idea. I
think technology has made people less creative due to the fact that plagiarism is extremely
rampant. However, to some people, technology has also made them much creative since the rise
of internet has piqued their interest in learning new things that aren't available offline. One
example would be developing a new research study with the help of the internet. The internet can
really be of help since there are a lot of relevant studies that can help the researchers in
developing a new study. Based on a personal experience, I have observed that people whom I
know that are non-technological are less creative compared to people who are technological,
given the fact that a technological person is exposed to more ideas and information.

b. Second article: “UP grad in photo plagiarism gets redemption”

• According to the article, how did Solis redeem himself? What job did he have?

- Mark Joseph Solis, the person behind photo plagiarism controversy has has proven
that the dark moments in one’s life often reveal the brightest trait of an individual. Solis has
managed football program for street children for two years. Solis has also participated in the
activities of Calidad Humana as part of his path to redemption.

• What project did he help?

-Solis has pledge to continue working with the program to promote Calidad Humana,
a Filipino value loosely translated as kabutihang loob sa kapwa (goodness to fellowmen).

• What is there to learn about the life of Solis?

-The are a lot of lessons which we can learn from the life of Solis. First, we should not
plagiarize one’s work because it is an immoral act and it will not do us any good. Second, despite of
the controversy Solis has faced, he has proven to us that there is still hope if we know how to take
accountabilty and redeem ourselves. Lastly, helping a person to become a better person despite a
controversy is something that people should look forward since the Chile’s former ambassador
Roberto Mayorga has proven to us that the world is much less evil if we know how to support
someone to become a better person.
