CITE THE HARMS AND BENEFITS OF THE FF: 

1. KIDS PLAYING THE ROLES OF AN ADULT IN GOING BULILIT

Most of the kids in Going Bulilit do grown up roles. Most of 'em portray grown up situations. The harm that it does to the kids that plays those roles are that someday, they might have to have an idea of what the grown ups do and maybe do the same thing in the future be it good or bad. They role play as married couple, a boss, someone who has a job, someone who can do great in the future, and that's only the benefits because atleast they can be able to imagine what good will happen to them if they just continue working hard and that maybe someday the roles that they play now will be their future. But in some cases, they also play roles of thieves, rally reps or whatsoever so we just hope they dont get that kind of future. 

2. REPORTERS COVERING THE 2010 HOSTAGE CRISIS. 

When you say hostage or hostage taking, it means that there is trouble somewhere or like there's a crime or a situation that you shouldn't be involved in unless its you who are involved in the first place. Harms covering the crisis in reporters is that it can cost them their lives. They shouldnt risk their lives because of it 'cause once you decided to get a scoop of that kind of situation, your life will be on the line right away. The only thing i see that can be a good thing when it comes to this situation is that you'll be able to spread the information about what's been happening to the people who got hostage and even alert the families of the victims.

TRUST. It's what the media needs to gain from people in order for them to keep luring them with shit.

Until it all goes down in the drain. But then you wonder, why did it go down the drain?

Good question. It's because of these reasons!



1. Incompetence
- The inability to do something successfully, or in other words... Useless. No sugarcoat intended. But really, if you can't do your best or give your best in ANY task in the media industry, then might as well just quit your job and live under a rock.

2. Inaccuracy/ Incompleteness of work
- The quality or state of not being accurate. It's like when hearing "chismis".. you only got the part you heard but didn't even make sure if it's true or that when and how it started. Incomplete details, incomplete info.

3. Careerism
- The policy or practice of advancing one's career often at the cost of one's integrity. If given an example... There's 2 best friends. Wherever the other one goes, the other follows. They had this job. They got better the same time but then! One of them was given a chance to advance AND HE TOOK THAT CHANCE! He was like "damn, forget about you, this is my chance!" (yep, he was a douche after all.) The other guy felt left out and betrayed. That's when he started not trusting him anymore. DISTRUST~ *dun dun duuuun*

4. Sensationalism
- The use of shocking or excessive details at the expense of accuracy in order to provoke the public interest or excitement. Exaggerated in other words. They wanted to get people's attentions so bad that they added exaggerated parts to the news just to have viewers.

5. Too frequently biased
- This is when the media is only rooting for one team and not the other. In other words, One Sided. They like the first one and ignores the other.

6. Callousness
- This means being insensitive towards a person's feelings, feeling no emotion or sympathy for others.

7. Negligence
- a failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances.

8. Arrogance
- Showing an offensive attitude of superiority. MAYABANG.

9. Contempt for the public
- The state of despising, dishonoring, disgracing or disrespecting someone who is in a higher position.

10. Abuse of privilege or right
- The act of taking advantage of your position and using it into something that is not applicable to your line of work. Like if you're the EIC or something. You have people under you. You'll just order them around and if they complain you'll be like "I'm the Editor here, you do as I say!" or something like that.

11. Intense competition among practitioners
- Media practitioners often get pressured by their competition without even admitting it. Instead of showing that they are pressured, they take courage and make something better than what the other group can give. It all just circulates like that until the competition gets tougher by the second and that they will run out of ideas. That's when they'll start throwing nonsense and coating it with excessive details just so their work can look better than the other and gain more viewers.

Cultural Values

• MYANMAR

when it comes to the Myanmar culture, first thing that you'll think about (maybe.. or no. or maybe analysed.. if you researched about it and thought about concluding it..) is something about or alike the Buddhist lifestyle or culture. It's not like the modern lifestyle. 

When it comes to Proper Etiquette of the myanmar culture. They do not tolerate Public Displays of Affection or any emotions either fueled by love or hate. Any person that has a higher status needs to be addressed and treated with courtesy. To be able to show respect, they have to kneel down with their foreheads and elbows touching the ground. When meeting a monk, they put their pals together in a gesture of reverence. 

They ought to believe that men have a higher status than woman. Buddhists believes in reincarnation and that every woman has to hope for it so that in her next life, she will be reborn as a man. 

Despite the hierarchy of Buddhism, women also has equal rights for inheritance with men. There are many women in professional occupation and in universities, female enrollment equals that of males.

In terms of Family Ties, they consists of three generations. If ever any family members do not live in the same house, they usually live near each other. Children do their part in social occasions and help the elders. They are expected to always respect and obey not only their parents but all elders, especially aged parents.

• THAILAND

The most common form of greeting and follow to strict rules of protocol is the Wai. The standard form is when you raise both hands, palms together with the fingers pointing upwards, lightly touching the body between the chest and the forehead. It is both a sign of respect and greeting. It can be done while sitting, walking or standing. The person who is younger among the two by age or status should be the first one to offer the wai and then the senior returns the gesture. 

Just like in Myanmar,Thailand is the stronghold of Buddhism. Buddhists believes that life does not begin with birth and end with death but rather that every person has several lives based upon the lessons of life not yet learned and acts committed (karma) in previous lives. 90% of the population in Thailand practiced Buddhism. 

Family is the cornerstone of Thai society. Family life is more compact than in western cultures. Parents in the form of hierarchy are at the top. Children, like in myanmar are taught to honour their parents.

• SINGAPORE

The concept of group, harmony and mutual security are more important than that of the individual. The family is the centre of the social structure and emphasizes unity, loyalty and respect for the elderly. Family not only states first members but includes the extended family and close friends who are treated as family members. Family is the place one goes for support and is respected especially the elders. It helps retain core values in the island nation.

Singapore is a multi ethnic society where chinese, malay and indian traditions coexists beneath the veneer of a western cosmopolitan metropolis. 

http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/singapore.html

• CAMBODIA

The name Cambodia derives from the french Cambodge, which comes from the Khmer word Kampuchea, meaning "born of Kambu" Khmer is the official language of Cambodia and is used in most social contexts including government administration, education at all levels, and in the mass media. 

The majority of Cambodians follow Theravada Buddhism. They follow the following principles: Have the right thoughts, have the right goals, speak the right words, perform the right deeds, earn a living in the right way, make the right effort, be intellectually alert, meditate. 

The traditional greeting is a bow combined with a bringing of the hands together at chest level. If one intends to show greater respect the bow is lower and the hands brought higher. The simple rule is to respond with the greeting you are given. Cambodia people are addressed with the honorific title "Lok" for a man and "Lok Srey" for a woman followed with the first name or both the first and surname.

• INDONESIA

Indonesia is a hugely diverse nation. Indonesia has the largest muslim population in the world but it also has a large number of christian protestants, catholics, hindus and buddhists. People will define themselves according to their ethnic group, family and place of birth. The family is still very traditional in structure. 

In Indonesia, the concept is about avoiding the cause of shame ("malu"). People are very careful how they interact and speak. One should never ridicule, shout at or offend anyone. Imperfections should always be hidden and addresses privately. Similarly blame should never be aimed at any individual/group publicly. Bahasa Indonesian actually has 12 ways of saying "No" and several other ways of saying "Yes" when the actual meaning is "No"

• LAOS

Authority goes with age or seniority, position or status.  Lao people highly hierarchy in society. As a result, junior always show respect and obedient to senior. Such behavior is considered upright, prudent and a benefit to society.  Control is normally from the top down.

Much of social, economic and political activity in Laos is organized around groups.  Even though decision-making is hierarchical and authority centralized, the process is consensual.   Many people are consulted before a decision is ratified and implemented.  The process is deliberate, time consuming, and what most Westerners might consider excessively cautious.  On the other hand, once decisions are taken, implementation moves ahead steadily since the decision-making process has already built consensus.

• VIETNAM

The teachings of Confucious influence the Vietnamese describe the position of the individual in Vietnamese Society. Confucianism is a system of behaviours and ethics that stress the obligations of people towards one another based upon their relationships. The basic tenets are based upon five different relationships: Ruler and subject, husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters, friend and friend.  Confucianism stresses duty, loyalty, honour, filial piety, respect for age and seniority and sincerity. 

The Family

• Vietnamese life revolves around the family. 
• The Vietnamese family consists of the nuclear as well as the extended family.
• It is not uncommon for three generations to be living together under one roof.
• In Confucian tradition, the father is the head of the family and it is his responsibility to provide food, clothing and shelter and make important decisions. 
• Within the same tradition it is believed that after someone dies their spirit lives on. Descendents will "worship" their ancestors to ensure their good favour. On the anniversary of a person's death, ceremonies are held in their memory. They are also remembered during certain lunar festivals and souls are consulted prior to important decisions or occasions such as a birth or a wedding.

Hierarchy

• As with most group-orientated societies there are also hierarchical structures.
• In Vietnam these are very much based upon age and status. 
• This derives from Confucianism, which emphasizes social order. Everyone is seen as having a distinct place and role within the hierarchical structure, be it the family or workplace. 
• An obvious example is seen in social situations where the oldest person in a group is greeted or served first. 
• Within the family the head would be responsible for making decisions and approving marriages.

• MALAYSIA

A Multi-Cultural Society

Malaysia is a multi-cultural society. The main ethnic groups are the native Malays as well as large populations of Chinese, and Indians. When visiting the country it is clear that the ethnicities retain their religions, customs and way of life. The most important festivals of each group are public holidays. 
Although growing up, children are educated in the same schools and will eventually work in the same offices, few marry outside their own ethnicity. Families tend to socialise within their own ethnic group – all part of retaining their individual traditions and lifestyles. 
Despite the ethnic differences there are commonalities culturally speaking. 

Meeting and Greeting

Greetings in a social context will depend upon the ethnicity of the person you are meeting. In general, most Malays are aware of Western ways so the handshake is normal. There may be slight differences though and a few things to bear in mind include: 
• Malay women may not shake hands with men. Women can of course shake hands with women. Men may also not shake hands with women and may bow instead while placing their hand on their heart.• The Chinese handshake is light and may be rather prolonged. Men and women may shake hands, although the woman must extend her hand first. Many older Chinese lower their eyes during the greeting as a sign of respect. 
• Indians shake hands with members of the same sex. When being introduced to someone of the opposite sex, nodding the head and smiling is usually sufficient. 
Among all cultures, there is a general tendency to introduce: 
• the most important person to the lower ranking person. 
• the older person to the younger person.• women to men.

• BRUNEI

The Family

The family is the focal point of the social structure. The Bruenian family is the extended family and includes aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as close friends. Members of the extended family are expected to remain loyal to each other and the family. 

As a result of this Brunei is a hierarchical culture. Age and position are revered. From a young age, children are taught to subjugate their own desires for the good of the entire family and to respect elders without question. In addition they also learn that it is through family support that they accomplish goals. 

Religion 

Most Bruneians are Muslims and as such their lives revolve around the duties afforded to them by Islam. Alcohol is banned from the country however pork is allowed for non-Muslims. Gender relations are also governed by Islamic principles and etiquette. Shaking hands across genders is rare. 

Bruneians practice a devout but tolerant brand of Islam, which includes devotion, yet allows other faiths and beliefs. 

Muslims must pray five times a day – at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening. Friday is the Muslim holy day. Everything is closed. Many companies as well as government offices also close on Sunday and Saturday afternoon. 

During the fasting month of Ramadan, government staff works a six-hour day and entertainment and sporting activities are suspended. The Sultan encourages the recital of the Quran each morning prior to the start of work to obtain Allah’s blessing and guidance. 

Meeting Etiquette

o The common greeting depends upon the ethnic origin and the age of the person.
o In general, many men you meet will have adopted the western concept of shaking hands, although this is not always the case with older Bruneians or with women.
o Ethnic Malay men shake hands with one another, but men and women do not traditionally shake hands.
o Younger Bruneians may shake hands with foreign women or they may merely bow their head in greeting.
o It is considered respectful to bow your head when someone who is senior to yourself in age or position.
o It is considered disrespectful and rude to stare into another person's eyes, particularly those of a person who is senior to you in age or status.

• PHILIPPINES

Filipinos highly value the presence of their families more than anything. Regardless of the liberal influence they have gotten from the west, the family remained the basic unit of their society. This trait clearly shows among Filipinos abroad who suffer homesickness and tough work just to support their families back home in the Philippines. 

In a traditional Filipino family, the father is considered the head and the provider of the family while the mother takes responsibility of the domestic needs and in charge of the emotional growth and values formation of the children. They both perform different tasks and being remarked separately by the children. Children see their mothers soft and calm, while they regard their fathers as strong and the most eminent figure in the family. 

Because of this remarkable closeness, parents sometimes have difficulties letting go of their children and thus results to having them stay for as long as they want. For this somehow explains why grandparents are commonly seen living with their children in the Philippines. Unlike the way people grow old in the west where they are provided with outside homes and care giving, Filipino elderly enjoy their remaining lives inside their houses with their children and grandchildren looking after them. 

Another trait Filipinos made themselves exceptional from others is their strong respect for elders. Children are taught from birth how to say “po” and “opo” to teach them as early as possible how to properly respect their elders. These words are used to show respect to people of older level. Even adults will be criticized for not using these words when speaking with their parents or people older than them. Inside the family, the parents are expected to receive the highest respect from the children along with the elder siblings; as they are given more responsibilities to look after younger siblings when parents are not around. 

Children fighting back or addressing parents or elder siblings with arrogant tone are not at all tolerated. They are also not allowed to leave the house without their parents’ permission. Upon arriving home, conservative families expect children to practice the kissing of hands or placing their parents or elder family members’ hand to their foreheads with the words “mano po” as a sort of greeting. 

Even after finishing school, Filipino children are not obliged to get out of their homes unless they want to. In fact, most of them keep their close relationship to their parents by staying at least before they get married. Leaving them happens only when they really have to, but usually, at least one child, depending on his willingness and financial capabilities, stay even after marriage to support and look after their aging parents. 

More over, Filipinos keep close connection with other relatives. They recognize them from 2nd degree to the last they can identify. As Filipinos say, “not being able to know a relative is like turning their backs from where they come from.”

This is what happens when you're saved by the bell when you're about to answer 3 essay questions then realised you have to hurry 'cause your next class' Trigonometry.

1. Explain the factors that lessen accountability.
- The first factor that lessen accountability is Ignorance. In an easy explanation it talks about the absence of knowledge, of the mind. There are 2 types of Ignorance and that's Vincible Ignorance which means you claim that you do not know about the issue but you have always had an idea, and the Invincible Ignorance that means the person was not totally aware that he or she have done that said crime or action and had no way of knowing it.

2. How can journalist practice ethics in their field? Cite sample situations.
- Journalists can practice ethics in their field the same way they practiced ethics when they were still a kid, at home, when they were still in school or anything before they became journalists. Ethics is the science of human acts with reference to right and wrong... and where else are you gonna start learning that but at home? In the early years of your lives, right? Just like what Ma'am Angel have told us, it's good that our parents told us things about what God doesn't want. At least we carried that belief as we grew older and hopefully, most journalists still have and know ethics. Hopefully they still know what are the right and the wrong.

3. As a future journalist, what are your personal principles of right living/living righteously?
- My personal principles of living righteously includes being able to spend more time crafting or molding my abilities better rather than just to use and keep what skills have been given to me and that I will keep on focusing on what I aim to do rather than stopping because of the mistakes I make and take up all my time thinking about it. I will use that mistake in order to do better in my next tries. I will take action than just speak words. I will not let emotions get the best of me, especially anger. Be aware of everything that surrounds me and just being myself so that when I get to reach what goal I have always planned, I can say I did it because of being me and not being someone else that tries too hard to achieve something and forgets what I really have to do.

FIRST ASSIGNMENT! It's like the start of school and there's already an assignment. That's what you call badass *wink wink*

Define in your own words and cite some examples regarding the following:

Communication has its different kinds of elements. First is Source. It is from where the information came from or it is from the person who will start the spread of information.  Message.

It is the process of creating or producing as to what the message means or what the source means in their message. Channel is what the person uses in order to bring out or spread their message. There are many categories for channel like verbal, non-verbal, personal, non-personal, etc. Decoding refers to the listeners or audience, interpreting and deriving the meaning of the message. It finds out what is in the message. Receiver is the one who receives the message. Feedback is the depending to what the receiver's reaction or response to the message given.
