REFLECTING ON THE ICT LEARNING PROCESS COVERING THE TOPICS OF: ICT, THE SELF, AND SOCIETY 1. How ICT can cha nge the world for better or for worse?             ICT is freely available, universal communication. It is access to all the knowledge and learning of the entire world. It is an instant, free service which provides you with news, media, and knowledge, no matter where you go or what you do. The ICT affects everyone in the same way - it gives them more tools for faster communication, gives them more knowledge for smarter decisions, and gives them more people for a greater social network. These are all good things.  Responsible use of the ICT can be a good thing, but the ICT is mostly not used responsibly now.

Anti-Extra Judicial Killing  (CRIMINAL INJUSTICE) Introduction                  Extrajudicial/ extralegal killings (EJKs/ ELKs) and enforced disappearances (EDs) are unique in the Philippines in as much as it is publicly and commonly known to be committed also by non-state armed groups (NAGs) such as the New Peoples Army (NPA) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Although cases have been well documented with conservative estimates of EJKs/ ELKs and EDs committed by the NPAs numbering to about 900-1,000 victims based on the discovery of numerous mass grave sites all over country, legal mechanisms for accountability of non-state actors have been weak if not wholly non-existent.  The victims of these efforts have mainly been poor, young men.

AGREEMENT Brenda obillo 1.Why do journalist refer to what they write as stories not reports? Journalists usually refer to what they write as stories. Not articles or reports, occasionally pieces, but stories. This does not apply only to reporters but to everybody in the editorial chain, from desk editors, copy editors, specialist and sports writers to the editor him or herself. Words published in newspapers, on air or online are stories. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2008/sep/25/writing.journalism 2.what is the only purpose of journalism? explain. “The purpose of journalism,” write Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel in  The Elements of Journalism , “is not defined by technology, nor by journalists or the techniques they employ.” Rather, “the principles and purpose of journalism are defined by something more basic: the function news plays in the lives of people.” The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible de...
