Trending Issues
Materials: Digital versions of stories, news clips or videos trending on social media

1.) “The professor and student of WIT marine engineering”

2.) “15 billion pesos fund of Philhealth in Mafia”

1.) – I choose this trending story because it’s an ethical by showing of how netizen judge the
professor of WIT even they don’t know the true story behind. They judge what they see in
a video and most of the netizen favor in student side because of the non appropriate words
that been use by the professor to discipline the student. But the true is the student's fault
because he didn’t not attend 5 days in virtual class and not showing respect to his teacher
when he called his name to the attendance that’s why the words that didn’t expected to
said by the professor he’s been said because of temper.

2.) – The 15 billion funds of Philhealth that would have been for people who need a financial
health assistance. This is how people don’t care what the others situation is. They only
care what is good for themselves but the other suffered what they do.

The commonalities of the two stories are the people they don’t care what’s true or good they only attract
what they see or what they have even if other suffered ( that sadly happened now a days ). The difference
are the situation of the story the first story is talked about “the blindness of the netizen” and second is “the
selfish behavior”
