1. I think some of them was true and some of them was false. I checked out
these news on the internet and some of them was from reliable sources while
the others doesn’t.
2. No. We all knew that media can manipulate everyone’s mind with false
information and that drives other people to make fake news/ false
accusations to spread in the internet for their own sake. Also, anyone can put
anything on the internet that’s why we should be careful on what to believe
and what not to believe.
3. Anyone with access to the internet had the ability to post something.
Everyone can post items or whatever they want to post or share anywhere
online but that doesn’t mean they were all true.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

Answer:

The advent of media and information literacy can help us strengthen our bonds
with our family, friends especially if you’re far away from each other, and other
Christians by means of communicating and socializing with them effectively. It
can aid in the propagation of the Gospel, the playing of worship songs, and even
the strengthening of Christian fellowship and . But it's a different story when it
comes to God. I believe that only our faith will help us to become closer with God
and media and information literacy has nothing to do with that. Faith and spending
time with God are also necessary for developing a personal relationship with him.
That involves spending time in prayer and worship with God in a quiet area.
Communication with people is restricted by media and information literacy; it is
useless when interacting with God. Also, looking at the world today and the
information available to us, it is clear that some information is being purposefully
distorted by the media and all forms of creative literature in order to steer us away
from the acknowledgement and worship of this one god. Nonetheless, Media and
Information Literacy is important as it assists individuals in recognizing biases,
comprehending context, and evaluating data in order to successfully use and share
it. It's a set of talents that may be applied throughout one's life and has a significant
impact on one's education, profession, civic involvement, and personal life.
