How can you observe Social, Ethical, and Legal Responsibilities in the Use of Technology Tool and Resources?

In the modern generation, use of technology tools influence many people to explore, share, and learn multiple information. As these becomes more con- venient and shows much appropriate sources quickly. Now, almost all of people around the globe have access and know what we called " Technology" . Every person can utilize technology. One of the significant benefit of technology is that it helps to offer new and effective way of learning, contribute big help in field of business or work ( as it makes an paperless environment ), and create more expansion in terms of communication.

Many people tend to share their own ideas and contents on many different digital platforms. And what it means in " sharing " is that we can browse and explore their very own ideas. But for lots of digital user or creator, how can we observe or examine the social, ethical, and legal responsibilities in the use of techno- logy tool and sources?

We can notice these when an individual uses the internet or the technology in legal and responsible way Digital user or digital citizen ( internet user ) mean this by using the technology with an excellent ( wise think- ing) and good behavioral manner. In technology tools and resources, social and ethical also can be perceived. How ? When it emphasize a positive impact in the de- velopment and growth of technology. Not only in technology but also in the live world ( on our society). Like in business, having good ethics creates standard impression people that it ( said business ) have a way to recruit and introduce more talent and abilities. A use of technology and resources that follows the law and terms of privacy pertains to how can we know that it shows ethical and legal responsibilities. Like when we ( Digital Citizen ) use the technology and internet in a good way. Showing respect to the content and ideas of others and giving importance to data privacy and protection.

All of these we can observe when the user or specific individual ( digital / internet user ) clearly knows these things. Knowing that stealing others work is a crime, sharing false information and discrimination is not an aspect of ethics and illegally downloading or using technology contrast the rules of legal responsibilities.

For me I can notice it in the way I use it every day because this technology is used nowadays. I can use or observe ethics in a good way such as developing my knowledge. The responsibility is that it will help students today because many people or students today want development. Addition to responsibility is stability and truthfulness to each person because it is one of the bridges for the development of our lives or for us to be at peace. Every person can gather information more easily if there is technology. Technology can be used by every person in the world. Everyone's responsibility to appreciate technology as much as to use it correctly.

Physically, Adolescence is a time of big changes. A young individual's body is growing rapidly, and hormones can make emotions feel intense and unpredictable. During this period, they may feel confident, curious, and excited about new experiences, but they may also feel anxious, frustrated, or self-conscious. When I asked her what physical changes she noticed as she entered adolescence, she said I noticed a lot of changes when I entered this stage, such as the growth of my breasts and the appearance of hair in various parts of my body.  She also experienced physical challenges  such as acne growing on my face, which was one of the things that lowered her self-confidence, hair growing in certain parts of her body, and back and hip pain, which she could easily feel. She doesn’t like going out because of physical changes in her body, but she realized that it is normal and started accepting those changes. I also asked her how she took care of her physical health during her teenage years. She answered, I take care of myself by eating nutritious food, maintaining proper hygiene, and exercising occasionally. 

"Every change in your body tells a story of growth, discovery, and the path toward adulthood."

Cognitively, In the phase of adolescence, kids become skilled in important areas like being curious, problem-solving, thinking critically, and being independent. These characteristics enable them to discover new concepts, make informed decisions, and form their own views on things. In the end, these abilities will lead to their personal growth and equip them with the skills necessary to face the challenges of adulthood. I asked her, "How has your way of thinking changed as you grew older?” As I grew older and entered this stage, my way of thinking changed in that I now consider the possible outcomes of my actions before making a decision. I think about the potential consequences first. This is different from when I was younger, as I used to make decisions impulsively without thinking them through. I handled decision-making and problem-solving more seriously and thoughtfully, sometimes seeking advice from people I knew and considering their opinions. Additionally, what helped her stay focused on school and other activities was creating a daily schedule that she diligently followed. The support of her parents and friends also played a significant role in keeping her motivated and on track.

"The adolescent mind is a garden of thoughts—nurture it, and it will bloom with knowledge."

Socioemotional Milestone, during this stage, Young adolescents experience significant emotional changes during this critical period. They learn to handle social situations more skillfully as they grow more conscious of cultural expectations and conventions. They develop vital traits like compassion, self-worth, and effective social skills as a result of this process. These insights and experiences over time greatly enhance their general maturity and capacity to face obstacles head-on. As a child, she had many friends and playmates, but upon entering adolescence, she noticed that they no longer went out and played like before. Some friends drifted away as they stopped doing the activities they once shared. She realized that growing up brings new responsibilities and different things to focus on.

I asked a question on how her relationship with her family changed as she grew older. She said it hasn't really changed, but because of being busy with school and other activities, we rarely have time to bond, and almost everyone is occupied with their own tasks. She admitted that she wasn’t very good at managing her emotions, especially when anger overwhelmed her. However, she learned to calm herself by finding time to be alone and reflect on the best course of action. Joining the debate club and participating in volunteer activities at school helped her a lot. Through interacting with others and contributing to the community, she learned to trust herself and clearly recognized her abilities and interests.

"Emotional growth is as important as intellectual growth; understanding yourself helps you understand the world."

Challenges and Satisfaction, Adolescents ‌​meet many different types of problems, including emotional, relational, and academic, which force them to grow and acquire essential life skills. Their experiences become the source of their resilience, this way, gaining more self-awareness and elevating to a higher level the ability to solve problems. Such maturation is a prerequisite for general health and wellbeing during the coming of age ​‍​‌‍​‍‌period. She said, The physical changes were the biggest challenge, perhaps because I wasn’t fully prepared for them. On the other hand, I also felt excited and curious about new things. She overcame the challenge by simply trusting in her own abilities. Looking back, the most important lesson she learned during adolescence was the value of self-acceptance and staying resilient in the face of challenges. She also realized that making mistakes is a normal part of life, and they serve as opportunities to persevere and grow. For her, mistakes are important because they teach us valuable lessons. Lastly, she would advise them to enjoy being a teenager, as adulthood brings different challenges. It is important to take time for oneself and appreciate this stage of life.

“Play, laugh, learn, and repeat. 🎾😂📘”

From a happy child in their village, I interviewed a 12-year-old who shared his experiences of growing up and shaping themselves. In his answers, you can see the simple things that make him happy, the challenges he faced, and how he learned to become more resilient. His narratives reflect not only his childhood but also the development of his personality and relationships with others.

Physical Milestones, when i asked him what new physical skills have he learned that make him proud? According to him, one of the things he's most proud of learning is how to ride a bicycle. At first, he felt nervous because he kept thinking he might fall and get hurt. But with perseverance, discipline, and the help of his friends, he learned to balance his body and pedal correctly. He also learned to do simple tricks, which he was even more proud of. For him, the bicycle is not just a toy, but a way to exercise and have fun. When he's with his friends, he feels stronger and more alive. Besides, he's also learning to take care of himself by eating properly, getting enough sleep, and maintaining good hygiene, although sometimes he can't avoid eating at irregular times.

Cognitive Milestones, he shared that Filipino was the easiest subject because he could write and express herself better in her own language. The biggest challenge, however, is Math, because he's not that good with numbers. However, he doesn't give up easily. When I asked him to share a time when he solved a problem on his own? He answered, there was a school assignment that was supposed to be done in pairs. But because his partner got sick, he had to do the project alone. At first, he was nervous because he wasn't good at arts, but he used his own ideas and forced himself to finish it. In the end, he got a high score. That was one of the moments he was truly proud of because he proved he could overcome hardship through his own efforts.

It's not just this. He also mentioned how happy he is whenever he learns something new. The excitement and joy are always there because every new piece of knowledge feels like a victory for him. The method he uses to better remember the lessons is by repeatedly reading and reviewing. He also learned from school and experience that communication is important to ask questions, listen, and interact because it broadens his knowledge and ability to think more deeply.

Socioemotional Milestones, When it comes to his emotions and interactions with others, he shared that he initially found it difficult to socialize. He grew up shy, so he had a hard time finding true friends. There were even times when he felt sad and hurt because he felt alone. But he learned that there's nothing wrong with interacting with others. Because of this, he found good friends who bring him joy every day. When they have misunderstandings with his friends, they resolve them through in-depth conversations. For him, understanding is more important than resentment. For now, he's learning to be more open and willing to talk rather than bottle up his feelings.

He's also happy when he sees his family doing well and when he gets to spend time with his friends. Just simple laughter and fun with them is enough to dispel his fatigue and sadness. Furthermore, he is extremely proud because even at a young age, her parents can rely on her for certain things. When he makes mistakes or fails, he doesn't deny that he gets hurt. But he always thought that making mistakes was only normal and part of learning. Every failure becomes a lesson to do even better next time.

Challenges and Satisfaction, I asked him what challenge you experienced during this stage  and how you overcame it? The biggest challenge he faced was the intense shyness and fear of interacting with others when he was young. But he learned that he was the only one who could help himself. By being open and accepting that he wasn't alone, he found friends who made him feel happy and accepted. The best part of her experience was the feeling of accomplishment whenever she learned a new skill like riding a bike. That simple thing gives him confidence, joy, and the hope that he can face bigger challenges in life. For him, childhood was full of challenges, but there was more joy and learning. With every challenge, he discovers his strength. And with every small victory, he learns to value himself and the people around him.

Physically, A woman's body and emotions change a lot during pregnancy. A tiny baby has been growing inside her womb for nearly nine months. During this time, she may feel happy, excited, or hopeful, but she may also feel tired, dizzy, or experience mood swings. Pregnancy is a beautiful gift, demonstrating how amazing women are because they can create new lives. When the baby is born, all of the worry and fatigue go away, and she is ecstatic to see and hold her long-awaited child. During her pregnancy, her body underwent significant physical changes. The baby inside her grew, and so did her belly. She also developed stretch marks on her hips and stomach and gained weight. As you get ready to care for an infant, it's usual for your breasts to grow and become more sensitive. She apparently had trouble sleeping because of her pregnancy symptoms, but she was nonetheless delighted because this would be her first child. As she continued, "I'm pleased because I'm having my first child, but my pregnancy is challenging since I am unable to sleep comfortably due to pregnancy-related discomfort. In addition, she claims that she occasionally experienced enlargement in her hands and feet and that she got a dark line on her tummy, known as a linea nigra. The weight she's carrying impacted her walk, and she experienced fatigue more frequently. Indeed, her body has changed significantly, but her joy and anticipation of becoming a complete mother are even greater. “A grand adventure is about to begin.” Winnie the Pooh.

Cognitively, when we asked her how she felt during her pregnancy, she said she had ups and downs. Sometimes her mood would suddenly change, and it was harder for her to focus on the things she wanted to do. We also asked if she was ready to have a baby. She said, "Yes, I am ready," but she also admitted that she was a little scared because it was her first time. At the same time, she was incredibly happy and excited, and she couldn't wait to meet her baby and hold her in her arms. Even though things were changing, she realized that her mind was gradually preparing for motherhood. She is learning to think more carefully, be gentler, and pay attention to keeping the baby safe and happy. Her way of thinking has changed a bit, and this is helping her prepare for the new chapter of her life becoming a mother. She has been acting and feeling different ever since she became pregnant. She used to like to hang out with friends and do enjoyable things, but these days she would rather remain at home and relax. She is more mindful of those around her and genuinely cherishes her family and close companions who stand by her. “When your thoughts stumble, remember even confusion is part of learning.”

Socioemotionally, she feels more sensitive, sometimes she cries easily or gets angry quickly because of the changes in her body. Although she genuinely wants to be a good mother, she occasionally feels anxious and a bit afraid about caring for her child. Overall, pregnancy affected her in many ways, she learned how important love, support, and understanding are. She now values relationships and emotions more than she did previously, and these changes are making her a more compassionate mother. “Every emotion, even the difficult ones, is a teacher guiding us toward growth.
