As we grow, social media has become part of our growth and daily lives. Generation Z refers to young individuals who are comfortable with digital technology and the internet but are not technologically proficient. Our world today revolves around the internet and social media. As I am part of Generation Z, I could state that social media has an impact on my life. I use social media from casual conversations to formal learning. It became a way of informing and educating others. We can't deny the fact that this tool made a very big part in helping us and contributing to our daily lives especially when COVID-19 occurred. Through social media, we can access and gather any kind of information such as good and bad information. This tool helps us to communicate with our loved ones that are too far away from us. It also helps us to learn more things, understand, and share any kind of information with others.

It greatly impacts our daily lives and makes our living more accessible and easy. Social media has also become our entertainment and a marketplace among sellers and buyers. With the help of new technology and media, we can say that everything has pros and cons. However, it has an impact on Gen Z, which might become an issue. It can be destructive and can cause uncontrollable addiction. It has also had a negative impact on people. Examples of negative effects of social media include cyberbullying, addictive use, trolling, online witch hunts, fake news, privacy abuse, and some of the material they obtain online is inaccurate. Furthermore, social media can manipulate and influence our minds and even in society, which could have a negative impact not just for being unproductive but also on our physical and mental health. Through media, normal communication has changed and it partly affected the true and important aspect of the basis of communication in the way people react to different emotions, verbal cues or nonverbal cues, and even social cues.

“Understanding the Relevance of Information and News Literacy in the Midst of Social Era”

People at this age are very well informed on current events throughout the world. We are presently in the midst of the social era, which is all about linking things, people, and ideas. Individual empowerment through media and information literacy programs is important in order to promote equitable access to information and knowledge, as well as free, independent, and diverse media and information systems. Today's technology has created a social age that can easily access and share information around the globe. There are numerous benefits to new literacy as a strategy for ensuring that consumers are fully informed about any information provided by broadcasters or newscasters. They can also respond to or comment on the news that the media has shared or provided to them. At a time when people are working and living from home and consuming news and information, media and information literacy are more vital than ever. It's critical to understand that when we say "media," we mean both print and electronic media. It is important to be able to analyze and comprehend these many types of information.

The longer social media users actively consume the material, the more debate it generates and the greater the influence of social media information. As social media users, we must assume seriously, analyze, and stumble on the genuine data that is launched on any social media platform. Understanding the Importance of Information and News Literacy promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, and the search for solutions. By honing these skills, we will be able to be more careful and aware of the information we will encounter. In addition, the information was supplied in the correct and acceptable format, with no incorrect information. There are a rising number of online platforms that provide us with the capability and highly useful applications that we can use to share information, gain knowledge, and make comments about a certain topic in our society. Information literacy and news literacy are still vital and will always be relevant, regardless of age. We should make better use of our technologies in order to pass on information to the next generation and provide a more convenient way of life.

“Media and Government: A Love-Hate Relationship”

Love is seen as a positive and constructive emotion, whereas hate is seen as a negative and destructive emotion, the media and government relations, is it love or hate? Governments have had a love-hate relationship with social media since it started to exist. These two are the most powerful institutions in the world. Both media and government are made for us. However, the media and the government are prone to be incompatible at some point. Media is the source of news that has the power of providing information to its people while the government itself can manipulate the media. When one opposes the other, it creates a cycle. They have the ability to control others and affect how they think about current events in our society and the ability to alter people's perceptions. The government can use the media to manipulate people through reading, watching, and criticism. People within the government can control the media to create chaos by making a facade, making people believe that they are working so well for the people’s sake but most politicians are working for themselves, not for the people, behind all of the acquisitions.

The use of social media appears to be manipulated with the goal of influencing the outcome of polls. We all know that the media has a great role in helping the Filipinos in terms of having more knowledge and understanding. Media also brings news to people and becomes the voice of them towards the government. They have a hateful relationship with each other because the government doesn't want to expose the wrongdoings of the media users when it comes to posting online. Media contain distasteful content including Facebook that leads to shutting down a series of fake news sites spreading false information. As a result of this relationship, the people are manipulated. The people were prevented from knowing the truth. Nonetheless, let us not forget that the government cannot guide the people to the correct road on its own; they require assistance, which comes in the form of the media. Without the media, there would be no government openness. Even if they disagree at times, life would be more difficult for us if they didn't exist.
