Transcript

1. Jeranie: What is your role in the school community?

Answer: As a student, I serve as the peace officer in 11 – Leeuwenhoek. I am tasked to organize and give peace and the overall solemnity and silence of the class.
2. Phillip: What type of information are you responsible for? What type of information do you receive and pass on to the school community?
Answer: As a sergeant-at-arms officer in our class, I am tasked with the responsibility of delivering the discipline or information of having the disciplined MaScians on check.  I am tasked with different tasks regarding the peace of our class and I think it is a very hard task but I think I can handle it.
3. Jeranie: So I have two questions here so let’s start with the first question. How is the type of information that you handle helpful to the school community?
Answer: It is helpful because the MaScians have always this vision of discipline, and the tradition of excellence, so it is vital for me as a peace officer to maintain the tradition of discipline and excellence in the MaSci community and I think I am doing a good job in maintaining the peace and overall discipline in my class.
4. Jeranie: Second question here Mr. Antonio. In what ways does passing on this information help the school community?
Answer: Passing this information to the school community creates a bond. A school bond where it creates this strong bond that promotes discipline, peace, team playing, and also team building, not only across classes but also throughout the whole school.
5. Phillip: How do you know that the information you pass on is true?
Answer: I am tasked with this responsibility not only by my fellow classmates, but also by my fellow teachers, and my fellow peers and the authority. As my authority, I believe they are credible enough to give me the right information regarding what to do with my class.
6. Jeranie: Last question here Mr. Antonio. Are these pieces of information available in popular media?
Answer: Yes. As MaScians we have constantly reminded ourselves of our responsibility to be disciplined students, not only in the school itself but also in popular social media sites, and I think the SSG is doing a great job in advertising this types of traits and characteristics that a MaScian should have in popular forms of popular media like TV, social media, and in other popular types of media.
Jeranie: That is all Mr. Antonio. Thank you for speaking with us and that’s it.

Enrichment Essay

1. How do people find information that matches their/my needs?
Today, most of the people find their needed information via the intenet. It is due to the fact that the internet is one of the most accessible places for information. Using the internet, we can find almost any source of information to almost limitless capabilities. Other people search through books in the library or just use traditional media.

2. How do I choose from the wide variety of information made available by different sources?
In order to choose from a wide variety of information, we need to identify their sources, their credibility, as well as how the source got their information as well. Checking the author and his/her credentials would also be useful. Checking the time and date would also be a way of choosing, as well as checking the content.

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, idea
