Air pollution is our big problem now a days. It is the hardest problem the we could encounter. Air pollution or polluted air is very bad for our health specially to the persons that have heart problems.The main source of the pollution is factories,car and machines that burns fossil fuels.


So this is the effect of the air pollution.We people should solve this problem as early as now. We are the ones who will be harmed if we don't solve this problem. We can help our environment by instead of using of motorcycles,we have alternative what we call the bicycles. Bicycles does not burn  fossil fuels.it doesn't need gas to travel. Little cooperation will be big help for our mother nature. So let's all help our mother nature. 

12 ||Phantom of the Opera

 Last december 9,2015, we've watched the stage play of the "Phantom of the Opera" in our Audio Visual Room (AVR). So the was Based on the 1910 horror novel by Gaston Leroux, which has been adapted into countless films, The Phantom of the Opera follows a deformed composer who haunts the grand Paris Opera House. Sheltered from the outside world in an underground cavern, the lonely, romantic man tutors and composes operas for Christine, a gorgeous young soprano star-to-be. As Christine’s star rises, and a handsome suitor from her past enters the picture, the Phantom grows mad, terrorizing the opera house owners and company with his murderous ways. Still, Christine finds herself drawn to the mystery man. Audiences agree—The Phantom of the Opera is Broadway’s longest-running hit.

So this movie is one of the most exciting stage play I've ever seen. I'm don't really watch stage play unless it's compulsary. but this, this was awesome! This play caught my attention from the very start. For me the best part of the play is while they dedicate a song to each other to tell what they feel and what they want show to that person. There are parts there that they show simbolisms in their hidden character. So the lesson here I think is do not push yourself to another person.Because no matter how hard you push it, the feelings won't be changed. 


11 ||Media Literacy


Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. Media literate youth and adults are better able to understand the complex messages we receive from television, radio, Internet, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, video games, music, and all other forms of media. Media literacy skills are included in the educational standards of every state—in language arts, social studies, health, science, and other subjects.

The seminar of Media literacy is enlightening us to know how it works. This seminar shows us what is the purpose of social medias and how it was properly used by the owner.

So media literacy enhances our understanding on how media messages shape our culture and society. By media literacy we also recognize bias and lies on networks. We also discover some parts of the story that was not been told.



So media literacy enhances on our mind in reality. We should not just easily listen on what is told by others we should know the whole thing first before reacting on that particular situation.The seminar about the  Media literacy helps us to open our minds.

10 ||Plagiarism





What is plagiarism? So according to Merriam Webster, it is an act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to the owner or to the person. Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense. A lot of students now a days are plagiarizing their work especially on their homeworks and projects. For me plagiarizing things are bad. because you are not giving credit to the owner of the thing you plagiarized but some people just rephrase it because they are just getting some ideas on how to make it. But, some of people are just too lazy to do their own job. 



By plagiarizing you can be expelled in your institution, it can destroy work or the job your doing and it can destroy your career. So if I were you,dont destroy your future,do not plagiarize things,don't waste your time and do your own thing.
