1. Communication and globalization - why is awareness of the cultural diversity and
sensitivity play a vital role in communication?

If you are aware of cultural diversity and sensitivity you are also aware of
people's differences in how they live, and how they interact with other people. It
is important that you are aware of cultural diversity and sensitivity because you
will know what is right and wrong when you talk to other people. You can avoid
hurting others and you can easily understand their reasons if you know what
culture the person you are talking to.
2. Local and global communication in multi-cultural settings - examine and
propose revisions to one local advertisement based on the standards of
cultural or gender sensitivity.

The man should provide for the family and the woman should do the housework.
it has been a long -standing culture here in the Philippines, so it seems normal
for people to have the man work for the family and the woman take care of the
child, because this is the norm. But when the man does the housework it is a big
reduction of his manhood or in other words is mistaken for “gay”. When the
woman is working, it is too much for the family it can be said to be a great
success for a woman and there is a quotes that "a woman can do what a man
does".
Equality is what most people here in the country want, but why when a man has
a job, they always say "that's normal, you should do that". But when the woman
has a job, the saying “breadwinner, Achievements”.
What I'm pointing out here is, if we want gender equality, let's apply it to
everyone, not just in favor of women.
3. Communication aids and strategies using tools and technologies - if you were
to upload in TIKTOK, what would be your content? Please explain.

If I upload a video on tap about Communication aids and strategies using tools
and technologies. the content I will make is, I will look for a simple explanation or
simple words but have the same meaning in every deep terminology that I may
encounter. I will still be accessible even if the vocabulary is just basic, as if "less
is more" I don't have to use figurative words or lengthen my words, the important
thing is that the lesson I am saying is understood by most.

4. Evaluating texts and images: give your stand in the tension between China and
Philippines in the disputed Scarborough Shoal.

For me, we have to admit that we can’t fight China, we can be damned if we
continue to fight China. What the Philippines can do now is not to allow China to
engage in various activities in other parts of the Scarborough Shoal again by
making friends with it and having good talks. Our President Duterte did the right
thing because he chose to negotiate with China and make friends with it because
it prevents China from doing anything else in the matter of territorial disputes due
to the agreed conditions and laws, because if the Philippines continues to
negotiate with the United States, China will be able to strengthen its military.
bases in the west Philippine Sea and it could cause tension in China and
America, if that happens, we will be the center of the battlefield and we the
Philippines will be miserable in the end.
