2. The media shaped my perception of reality by assisting me in gathering information on a variety of topics as well as forming opinions and making judgments on numerous subjects. It is the media that keeps me/us updated and informed about what is going on in the world, and from which everyone may learn something. But sometimes most of us are unaware that we could be misled rather than informed. As a result, we must be well-versed.

Media has influenced my view of reality to such an extent that it now plays a significant role in my progress and depth of understanding. For instance, it opened me to a lot of things that I am not aware of before. Like realities of social issues. However, let us also be careful in consuming media-related news because some might be sheep in a wolf's clothing.

Throughout the decades, since the birth of Media, it has affected and changed our lives. It influenced our thoughts, manner, and the way we live in society. Some of the effects of media today is the prominent amount of fallacies in the internet. What we can do is to use media critically so that we can assure a great source of information. It is also important to have a good media footprints as it will guarantee better relationships and better impression to others in the global village.

Media provides a space wherein differe t perspectives and multiple realities are presented to viewers of varying backgrounds. Because of this, media contributes in my view and understanding of reality. It provides me the opportunity to look beyond the things I know, learning and discovering new things and correcting the misconceptions and false information I had consumed. It helps me build a view of reality wherein I make modifications when needed depending on what I've learned. Media plays a role on how I shape my reality and my perspective.

Media affects us in many ways. One example is that on how it manipulates our decision and actions in life like by being deceived by what is shown in the internet. Most people do not look now on facts. They just believe on what they have seen. Well for me, as an individual who often spends time in social medias. I have observed that my thoughts are being driven to what I have seen in my news feed. I get to know many things. I learn and be updated on what is going on, not just locally but also international. I get a lot of ideas that helped me become prepared for what's coming and made me realize and think through a lot of how to apply those. I became aware of the reality. The way our world is now. And what are the things that as a student I can do.

For me, everyday media influenced my view of reality like helping me to gain more knowledge about everything like possibilities, awareness and how to be a responsible user in terms of sharing, reacting and posting. This also help in developing my critical thinking and improving my 21st century skills. As I let myself be engage to this media, I realize that it is very essential to each and everyone of us especially to us students because it gives our life into different perspective and I can say that it also gives color to our dull life and world.

The Media influenced my view of reality in providing a basis for understanding and analyze all of the media messages that I've been encounter daily, equipping me to make the right choices about what I read, watch, and listen to. Media provides me with knowledge that expands my learning and awareness, causing me to wonder more about anything as well as to foster informed and critical thinking. It also assists me in becoming more knowledgeable and perceptive members of society. For example to examine information it is very critical to see if the main idea makes sense and to provide facts before I trust the information. Media has become an integral part of my life to question what I've seen and consider before clicking or sharing false information, being responsible and educatable user of any media platform.

Media has influenced my view of reality in a way that is beneficial for my growth and knowledge. With the information that I see on different media platforms, it has influenced me to become an argus-eyed individual in viewing reality. It is indeed beneficial to become one since it will help me to not be easily swayed nor be one of the many who just simply agree or simply believe such issues without fact checking. Without media, I definitely wouldn't know how to be an argus-eyed individual since there are no much challenges that would stimulate me to be vigilantly observant on the things that I see.

Media’s influence in my life has never been too shallow nor too corrosive yet its impact in how I perceive reality hits me too differently but in a challenging and complex aspect. Media can be vividly observed as authoritative and influential it is in paving one’s future. One clear example of this in my part is that media greatly affects my well-being that shaken my view of reality, from how it gives me relevant news that considerably boost my self-esteem and many tempting irrelevant news that agitates my control over my rationality. From unnecessary online posts that undermine my personal confidence, which causes me to criticize my own personal decisions in life, and it has been my personal flaw that has bound me from doing my best. Unnecessary online trends that puts many lives in danger, of which confuses me greatly and questions whether my reality has been already manipulated by people behind their monitor or was I literate enough to defend myself? Nevertheless of what is yet to be decided, it is apparent that the media is not only influential, but also frightening enough to exert unprecedented influence over our reality as a result of our very own conduct. If this pace of ignorance continues to sky-rocket, surely our future will be more than challenging for us to handle or should I say nearly impossible to handle.

Has helped me to critically analyse every message, the source, intention and its target

[КайратМарал-нщ]

Certainly, Media influenced my view of reality and point of view by gathering and conveying plenty of information on a wide range of topics as well as make informed judgements and decisions, analyzing information whether credible or false so that we must be media literate in the 21st century

Media has influenced my view of reality by making me aware that media makes a huge contribution to a person’s progress and learning and deep understanding of things. It may be able to make the difficult thing easier but one needs to take into account the negatives it can bring.

Media influences my view in reality by changing my view of life. Technology is widely spread to the entire world and so it's stylistic but then the media makes me see the deep knowledge of every perspective and understand every aspect of life. It is my way to comprehend my insight between my surroundings and the media in order to be aware of true or false information. The act of spreading ideas has always been widely tolerated throughout media and engaging on it without reviewing its data that maybe it’s from fake sources so it’s always been a hindrance for me to apply and learn because both will always be different but I have to choose wisely what should I resonate for myself in order to become a better person.

Media influenced my view of in a way that I get to know which are the things that are right and wrong in reality. Comparing the things that are realistic or not. Somehow Media is an eye opener for me since through media i get to learn a lot of things such as knowing the reliable and credible sources in reading some articles. Knowing the things to do and not to do on social media. Media is an awareness for us to know the reality or not.

[jessamaem.susalta]

Susalta, Jessa Mae M. BEED 2- J

Media influence my view of reality in both negative and positive side, but I will focus on the positive side that influence me as an individual. We can see alot of inspiration, motivation and different kind of things that encourage and enlightens people on media. Like for example, on TikTok I can see alot of students sharing their hardwork and success through media, which imparts a great influence for the unprivileged students who are not capable of buying everything they want to support their educational expenses. So this kind of video on media, encourage and motivates me to strive hard and never let the poverty hinders my success because I thought before it is very hard to reach your dreams without money but, I am wrong because the main thing that will let anyone to success is hardwork and determination. So I can say that, no matter how toxic some people on media, there are still people who influence and encourage people to strive hard and I am one of them who is motivated and striving hard for my dreams.

Whenever something has multiple meanings it can often mean nothing.

Answer: Media do influences my view of reality in the way that it helps me to view and to know the reality of what is really happening in today's world. As media has been bounded throughout my life, it is seemingly an important factor that it gives a shed of light towards the understanding of the uncertainties of reality and as far as I am concerned, reality is very too far to be understand with. Media also influences my view of reality as I am able to see the deep meaning through it and I was able to see the essence of being up-to-date today and it helps me to realize that what we see in the media isn't the reality itself but just a mere representation/ or a piece of picture subjectively based on how one percept on it for media is being governed with such fact truths but also distorted and altered truths. That is why, I do intend to be more thorough of the use of media but on a positive note, it helps me to become more reflective and directive towards understanding the real definition and essence between media and the real world today.

Media has greatly influenced my view of reality, to the point that it made me think that everything posted online is also the same with what is actually happening outside media. And for a lot of times, I have proven myself wrong. For once, I used to admire celebrity couples showing their love through posting sweet photos on social media. It made me think how happy they really are. But when time passes by, there comes the revelations of the different kinds of abuses mostly experienced by the woman, even before that sweet photos online. It somehow made me think that not everything we see is what it seems in reality. And abuses, in whatever form, should always and forever be not tolerated.
