Knowledge is Power

Knowledge might be an abstract concept, nothing more than just an idea. However, the fact that this idea exists is what it made it to be powerful.

Knowledge is a guide that helps us understand clearly the world around us. It is a powerful concept that can manipulate people. It can make people feel different. It can make people question what they really know. It can help individuals make decisions. 

Knowledge can either destroy or fortify a person's reputation. It can turn simple minds into geniuses. It can even educate, or enrich our minds.

Knowledge is indeed power, and with great power, comes great responsibility.

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.
