Mod 4 : The Different Types of Media and Its Impact on People
What I Know
Do you know what media is? Can you classify them? Let us see how well you know about the
types of media by answering the questions below.
1. How will you distinguish print media from broadcast media and new media?
Print media is anything that is printed or a hard copy, while broadcast media is the use of
television or radio, and new media uses internet.
2. What makes a particular media platform appealing and useful?
The media we’re using depends on our lifestyle, environment, and needs. For example,
Printed media are for the deaf and blind for their braille system, broadcast media for the blinds
and deaf so they can hear and have visuals or those without internet, while new media helps
those families who are away from each other.
3. Why do young people prefer to use the Internet and other forms of new media over
traditional media?
It’s because for us, it is easier to use, we grew up around technology so these are the
things we are used to. Also, we love being updated and knowing everything around us without
the hassle of heavy books or slow mail.

Let’s Reflect!
Newspapers are a source of different information suited for daily living. What part of the
newspapers do you like most and why? What was the recent news you have read? Write them

My favorite part would be the comics section, it got visuals and it really makes me laugh.
The recent news that I read is about the issue of Liza Soberano, when Parlade warned her and
accuse her of being a terrorist. And Grace Poe protected Soberano saying one difference of
opinion doesn’t make a person a terrorist.
Let’s Ponder!
Firsts in our lives are very memorable. Share us the very first movie you have watched. Answer
the questions below.
What was the title of the movie?
It’s Barbie’s “Princess and the Pauper”
What was it about?
It’s about a Princess and a pauper who don’t like the life they’re living so they exchanged
lives, since they both look alike, they experienced the life of each other and realized that they
don’t like it. But along the way they met their princes charming who save them from danger. The
movie ended with a double wedding.
What part of the movie do you remember or liked the most and why?
The part where they’re singing. They both like singing, and they met through it. I
memorize the song so that’s my favorite part.

Let’s React!
Media can influence people in various ways. Some may get popular or discovered, earn money,
learn new things, and more. While some may just get bashed, feel sad or insecure or get
undesirable habits due to uncontrolled use. Here is one of the cartoons that may picture some of
the reality of the effect of social media. Create an essay stating your reaction to the pictures.
You may use the guide questions below for your answer.
How does social media affect today’s generation?
Does gaining likes, shares, comments affect your feelings? Why
or Why not?
What can you say or advise to the youth of today about the
use of social media?
Social Media now have a big impact in everyone’s life. Almost all of the population of
the Earth uses social media. And I will always be thankful for the rise of media but I don’t think
it only causes negative things.
As someone who uses social media every day, I can see that it’s affecting the todays
generation by opening our eyes to more things our parents won’t tell us. It is exposing us to the
real world, to how everything will be once we’re over the stage of being teen. Admit it, the world
outside your parent’s house is a lot more chaotic and painful and social media is showing it so
we’ll be aware, so we’ll know what it’s like, so we’ll be ready. Likes, shares, and comments are
not really important to me. I may not grow up in an affectionate home with full of compliments
but I am thought to be thankful for what I have because God gave it to me and I am unique in all
the world. Watching the animation, I don’t think we’ll be apart from reality. I think as more
years go by we won’t drown in Social Media. Instead, we’ll drown in the truth of life. More
changes will happen and these changes will have a good impact on everyone. And we’re starting
it now, by learning. Despite being full of hate, Social Media teaches and in learning you will
never go wrong. In learning, there will only be change and acceptance and that will what Social
Media will bring us. With all the news all over the world, with one hate to another correction,
with one problem to many solutions. Humanity and reality will never be forgotten.
Wanting to be liked or loved is never wrong. Wanting to look pretty and proud, will
never be wrong. But there will always be limitations. Limit yourself in wanting more than what
you are receiving. Limit yourself in craving validation from others because all you need is you,
your approval, your validation, yourself. Social Media can ruin your life, only if you let it.

Guide Questions:
1. What is the message of this cartoon?
It’s showing how time changes everything. Kids before used to play outside the whole
day. I remember myself sulking whenever our grandma calls us to go inside the house already. I
really enjoy playing outside with friends for the whole day but the generation now prefers to play
using their phones or gadgets. And I remember mom scolding us and telling us to play outside,
like badminton or simply hang out with friends so we won’t be on our phones the whole day.
2. Do you agree with the message? Why or why not?
I totally agree, base on my experience. I now prefer staying at home, really, it’s because
my friends are nowhere near me. For the generation now there are a lot of games online that you
can play with your friends without meeting or exerting physical effort but you’ll still enjoy.
