Effects Of Media On Filipino Youth

Social media today is part of the lives of many young people. Most people, whether positive or negative, will talk to social media without stopping thinking about the impact on our lives. As a society, we became more concerned about Facebook's "friends" than people who interacted with our daily lives. What is the long-term impact of using today's social media?

Social media has become an important part of today's young generation. Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have a positive effect on teenagers and a negative impact.

Social media sites affect teenagers in a way that is regarded as an important source of professionalism. They can be used as a source to start a new business or any profession. For example, after a friend posts a status on his or her profile when he wants to borrow a job, he or she can send several messages to his profile to other friends who know about his job. This is what it will benefit people. They are many other good aspects of these social networking sites. It may help strengthen the relationship between the younger generation. Many people have not met their friends for a long time. These social networking sites are the way to connect again. They can contact friends no matter how far they are. The distance becomes shorter. With one click. When you send a friend request, your friend accepts the chat and starts chatting. Social networking sites can help connect people who are far away and people who can not see other people and inform about their events and events happening in their lives.

Social media also has an adverse effect on young people. One of the negative effects is cyber bullying. This is currently very common in the Internet. This usually happens on social media sites. Cyber ​​bullying is basically an electronic basic communication about a tyrant, usually by sending threat information. Social networking sites also have videos showing violence that may affect adolescent behavior. Observing violence makes them more aggressive, their family's behavior changes, and their minds become confident and it may eventually affect their lives in society I do not think so. Another negative impact of social networking sites for young people is that they do not have strict privacy and that many personal information is being shared publicly. Many young people do not understand the privacy policy of any blog and actually do not know that this information will be made available to others like advertisements.

We can not deny that the media has shaped our lives as young people. Young people in the Philippines tend to participate in various forms of media regardless of the possibility of impact on their lives. The media makes young people more antisocial. Because they always stay on mobile phones, they affect their physical activity and reduce the time spent with their families. Media may have very many negative effects on young people in the Philippines, but it can also bring us multiple benefits. The correct use of media depends on our responsibility, awareness and information. If you want to educate young people in the Philippines about the proper use of the media, you can reduce their impact.

According to the Philippine Youth Research Study conducted by the Global Philippine Foundation in 2001, media and technology are other major events in their lives. Television and radio are most influential. Technology is still a function of the class, but with the advent of Internet cafes among us, they will be able to democratize the availability of young people. As the world opens through media and technology, globalization will happen earlier in this generation. According to young people, they can understand anything through the internet.

Today, young people can get in touch with more people in less time. And there are many things you can do with this bigger connection. Young people in the Philippines have powerful tools for the Internet and social media that can help and promote information activities and reveal the universal and nontransferable rights of all Filipino citizens. Young people in the Philippines can use their unified and expanded voices at the most prevalent social media channels to inform the state that young people are not completely ignoring human rights. In fact, seeing that young and innocent Filipinos staying on the street, and seeing him deprived of his dream of a bright future is not so painful.
