 REFLECTIVE ESSAY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING

RESPONSIBLE TO SELF IN USING SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT;

Nowadays people depend in media. Media plays an important to our
society. Now the question is can you imagine life without using any
types of media? Can you imagine life without reading newspaper or
social medias to get information in order for us to get updated in our
society? Or you as a student, can you imagine life without using any
kinds of media in order for you to research your assignments? do you
think that your life would be miserable without media??

Media and information plays an important role in our society.

Media refers to the tools of mass communication in which consists of
television, internet, newspaper, magazines, books, radio, and cellphone
or telephone. Media can give us information that we need in order for
us to be updated in our society or we can be updated what is the latest
trend. In fact, media influence has become so powerful today that they
can easily influence people positively or negatively. We also live in a
society that people nowadays depends on the media as a source of
entertainment and information. Many people would say that their life
would be incomplete without media. Why? Because media provides an
easy means of communication in which people are able to contact their
friends and families from another side of the world. At the same time,
media like television, radio and internet enhance our knowledge by
providing access to information especially for those students like me
that we badly need this media to get some information that we need. It
can also be such a powerful educational tool for us or for the younger
generation helping to put them on the right path for instance an
educational show in television that we usually see every day like “I
believe”, “math tinik” or “superbook” is one of the TV programs that
has a positive influence to younger generation. They taught the kids
how to communicate effectively, to spell correctly and have fun with
learning. However media have this negative effect. It can cause cyber
bullying in social media that we usually encountered.
On the other hand users should be responsible on using media like
for example applying the different netiquettes and also the user knows
how to disseminate information.
The use of media can be positive and negative to the individual or
society. In a positive way, media makes our lifestyle easier, for example,
we can get to know what is going on out there, locally or globally,
within a short space of time. Even though there are so many benefits
from media images, we have to be careful not to let them influence us
unknowingly. We need to be wise when using the media and we should
be responsible using media and remember one of the netiquettes “
think before you click”.
