                                                   The Ethical Use of Information

     We are living in a time where information is totally available not only for the rich, but also for the penurious. Even the poor today can afford to buy gadgets. It has become an indispensable necessity for humans in the modern world to possess the convenience of these widgets. 
     Humans have these tingling longings in their bodies called Information Needs. A man ought to know what he wants to know. We tend to question why certain things go in our way and disturb our paths. We all have a tendency to learn more about how things work and why things are things. 
     There are two fragments of Information Needs: Demands and Wants. 
     Demands are the requirement of information. These are the kind of information that may be prompted by educational, professional, or personal and recreational needs.  
     Wants are the desire to have information. It is a need that may be actual, but may be unexpressed. It is the kind of information we truly yearn for. The kind of information we'd die for.
     Sometimes, when one acquires a chunk of information, one tends not to give credit to whom it is due. A person may obtain a sensational quote from someone and post it or share it as one of his/her own. We can get very greedy sometimes just for the sake of our need for acceptance and recognition.
    We sometimes separate facts from opinions. A person may also get crucial information about an accident or happening and then share it on the media. It can be a good thing for people to know about it but sometimes, that information can lead to one's image being mercilessly destroyed or marred. Some news are no laughing matters and yet, we tend to keep bashing that person/people. 
    That is why the use of information requires ethics. Without ethics and principles to stand by, it can be dangerous and sometimes threatening to one's life and image in the new media.
    As intelligent human beings, it is our moral responsibility and obligation to:

    1. Give credit to whom it is due.
    2. Practice due diligence and check the authenticity of the information
    3. Respect everyone's privacy
    4. Separate facts from opinions
    
   The kind of people we're becoming should be evaluated by each other. The government is hopeless and unreliable. If they cannot make any progress in time, we ourselves must take action, but not to cry out for help to them.

                  Sa paglipas ng panahon madmaing tao ang gumagamit ng Social Media, mapabuti man ito o mapasama. Social Media na siguro ang bagong namamahala sa mga tao, dahil sa pang araw-araw na paggamit nito. Pagkagising sa umaga nakaharap kagad sa cellphone o computer o kaya'y naman sa harap ng hapag kainan. Nakakalimutan na magusap-usap ang mga pamilya dahil sa nakakatutok lang sa mga gadgets.                     Sa kabila ng ito malaki ang tulong ng social media sa mga mag-aaral gaya ko. Mas naging advance tayo sa mga kaalaman na dati'y pahirapan makuha. Malaki ang naging sakop natin sa mga balitang international. Nagkaroon ng mga updated na libro at mga computer na ginagamit sa paaralan. Mas napadali ang ang paggawa ng mga takdang aralin at mga Research papers dahil konting type nalang ay lalabas na agad ang mga sagot. O kaya'y naman lumiban sa klase, madali macontact ang mga guro...
