The Evolution of Traditional to New Media (Lec)
Given the available media that we now have in the world, what are its roles and functions in a democratic society?
In the available media we have today, it serves as the source of information, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of not just one individual, but many. It functions as a database for users like me to share my opinions, knowledge, and more. Since today were are in a democratic society, it also serves as the voice of the oppressed, unlike before when we were experiencing a fascist regime where the press is controlled and we do not have the freedom of expression. Today media gives us this freedom of expression, and with this freedom, we can move forward, not as a nation, but as race of human beings.
In what way does media affect your life (personal, professional, academic, social, others)?
Media today is so important that almost everyone is dependent on it. On a personal basis, I learn new things from media and things like opinions, news, ideas, etc. affect what I feel. For instance, whenever I see the news about extrajudicial killings, it affects me on an emotional level that I feel distraught. I also learn some lessons in life online, since media helps us share our experiences as well. On a professional basis, media helps me disseminate information and gather it as well. Due to media, I started writing as one of my hobbies. At first my writing was atrocious but thanks to the opportunities one can find in media, I honed my writing skills and became more professional in terms of writing. On an academic basis, media becomes a database filled with codes of information prepared for individuals to read. Due to its flexibility and limitless capacity, media becomes the powerhouse of knowledge, and we all know that knowledge is power. Therefore, I feel powerful and knowledgeable. From a social standpoint, media helps me connect with other people. From relatives and friends, to celebrities and cliques, media is a web that intertwines individuals even with the littlest of connections. It also helps me be aware of issues our society is facing, and it gives us more room to sympathize and empathize with others.
