1.What was your perception of media before this lesson?

My perception of media before this lesson is media is give as a information weather if it is facts or bad news.Media is give us a more knowledge to search and give more information to us.The word media refers to any form of communication that delivers information. Common media outlets include newspapers, radio, television, magazines and internet sources like blogs or online publications.Media has become a part of our life and it has great influence in our day to day life. They are powerful in a sense that, they even control our thoughts and actions. We decide to buy products on the basis of advertisements. In the modern world, we depend upon media to get a clear picture about our society and the rest of the world. Our perception about the world is influenced by the media. The media can shape public opinion by publicizing certain stories or stressing certain aspects of stories. Mass media is supposed to play crucial role in building healthy public opinion on all crucial issues of public interest and welfare. But lately, media has been suffering from subjectivity. I agree with what Mr. Salam Hasan Ramdan Hajjeh Hajjeh stated. Irony it is that we are living in the ability to see for ourselves the truth that media provides but at the same time, maybe the real truth that we should be seeing put us under  pressure as well as gives us responsibility to be cautious of what kind of media or source we should count on.

2.What is your view of Media now?

My view  of media now is give as a news for everyday and media help us to improve our knowledge.media is also give us a news updates like good news, and bad news.The word media refers to any form of communication that delivers information. Common media outlets include newspapers, radio, television, magazines and internet sources like blogs or online publications.Media has affect our society and real life as the growing of new technology nowadays become more powerful. Before, it takes time to deliver a word or a message to someone but thanks to technology, our everyday life has gotten easier. Today, information is just at our fingertips. Most people nowadays have their own gadget or smartphone, therefore they can get the news in anytime. People become more active in media because of the freedom in giving comment about any issues.The mass media and all media in general have a heavy influence and impact on individuals and society, as many people rely on the media as a source of information without even thinking whether it is true or not. That is to say that since the usage of media has evolved, falsehoods are deliberately spread online. Furthermore, he media is a very powerful weapon that can quickly change people’s perspectives and beliefs in few minutes. For instance, a news report concerning opposing teams conflict many cover and focus only on one side of the story and ignore or fail to mention the other part which will make the viewers pity with one side and neglect the other side. Media may influence opinion, but to what extent and how reliably it is, is really too difficult to say. Some argue that it only influences those susceptible to be influenced, others say that people are only ‘influenced’ when the media agrees with what they already believe, whereas the Nazis famously believed that if you say something often enough (in the media) people will eventually come to believe it, regardless of its connection to the truth.

1.What is the most relevant functions of media to you?why?

Sending and sharing of information is the major function of media. Since information is knowledge and knowledge is power, media offer authentic and timely facts and opinions about various event and situations to mass audience as informative items.The media reports the news, serves as an intermediary between the government and the people, helps determine which issues should be discussed, and keeps people actively involved in society and politics.Media literacy is essential because it helps people understand the messages that are being communicated to them. With so many sources of information today, media literacy can help people identify reliable sources and filter through the noise to get at the truth.

2.Can you recall a recent situation where in media and information literacy could have been useful?

Well you know people of the universe, media and Information literacy has been useful nowadays because of the reason that our technology is evolving and improving.. For me, the situation that i can still recall wherein media and information literacy has been useful was when me and my friends needs to do something for our church.. It is when we need to share some informations and announcements regarding to our thanksgiving. So what we did was we wrote those informations in a piece of bondpaper and rewrite it in a WPS or word office and print it out. It is indeed very useful that day because it makes our way easier on how to share or distribute announcements and informations to those persons who are involved in our assembly. It is indeed legit that our technology specially our media nowadays are indeed improving time and time. Well it is a good thing ofcourse because, it can help us make our things or stuffs more easier than before. Each of us should be greatful of what we have in our present. So yeah, enjoy exploring and continue using our media world people. Godbless us all lovelies.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a social and an economic crisis just as much as it is a health one – its repercussions, severe and far-reaching, are being felt across the world.

From school closures to devastated industries and millions of jobs lost – the social and economic costs of the pandemic are many and varied. Covid-19 is threatening to widen inequalities everywhere, undermine progress on global poverty and clean energy, and more.

The best solution is to stop this damage from happening, through the use of tests, treatments and vaccines everywhere they’re needed. This will cost only a fraction of the huge economic loss the pandemic is causing every week.

The pandemic impacts all aspects of society

To slow the spread of the virus, schools closed across the world. One year into the pandemic, almost half of the world’s students are still affected by school closures. Millions of girls in some countries might not be going back at all, putting them at risk of adolescent pregnancy, child marriage and violence.

Businesses closed too, leading to the equivalent of 255 million full-time jobs lost, in terms of working hours, in 2020. Among the worst hit are workers in the informal economy, young people and women. Any economic recovery will likely be uneven, leading to greater inequality in the coming years.

Women have been harder hit economically by the pandemic because they are a large proportion of the workers in sectors severely affected by Covid-19, including accommodation and food services, and in front-line occupations, such as the health and social care sectors. 

With the closures of schools, they have also had to take on more care responsibilities at home. Whether through job losses or school closures, the pandemic threatens to undo decades of progress on gender equality.

Covid-19 has been slowing down progress on clean energy too, at least temporarily, by curbing investments and delaying the expansion of clean energy technologies.

There has been some positive climate news: global energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 5.8% in 2020, the largest ever decline in global CO2 emissions in history. But that’s only a short-term effect of lockdowns, not a sustained change. In fact, emissions are expected to rise by 4.8% in 2021, the second highest rate in history, as the demand for coal, oil and gas rebounds with the economy.

No epidemic is ever just a health issue in isolation, and Covid-19 has emphasised this on the global stage. We need to be looking at it in terms of an economic issue, a livelihood issue, a social issue and a political issue too.

It’s setting us back on decades of progress in tackling global poverty

The pandemic will likely trigger the biggest recession since World War II, causing a financial loss twice as great as during the 2008 recession. That’s a staggering $12 trillion the global economy will lose over 2020 and 2021.

The effects are felt unevenly across societies.

While no economy is left untouched, lower- and middle-income countries are worst affected because they have weak defences against economic shocks and tend to depend more on a few sectors, such as commodities and tourism. 

Millions of people have already fallen below the poverty line. In just a few months of Covid-19, extreme poverty went up for the first time in 20 years.

Wealthy countries have had the means to intervene early to protect people and businesses, by pumping $9.8 trillion into their economies, the biggest chunk of the total of $11.7 trillion spent globally, to cope with the fallout from the pandemic. But low- and middle-income countries have not been able to do the same.

A report by Oxfam reviewed the government measures to support people through the pandemic in 126 low- and middle-income countries, including numerous kinds of benefits for those affected, and found that 97% of the support provided was inadequate to meet basic needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose significant challenges to nations. The Korean government aimed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 through stay-at-home strategies and maintaining social distance, which are likely to result in major changes in the lifestyle, mental health, and quality of life of citizens. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these factors in Koreans over 20 years old.
