MEDIATAZATION OF THE YOUTH

MEDIATAZATION OF THE YOUTH



Rev. Fr. Christian Buenafe; O'cram






MEDIA



There are a lot of things comes into our mind if we say MEDIA, it can be consider as a news, reporting, information but true definition of media is the CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED. There are some forms of media which is PRINT, BROADCAST, ELESTRONIC, FOLK/TRADITIONAL, or even NON-MEDIA COMMUNICATION. Media is a part of communication process that we usually use everyday. Media can give good benefits to us in the sense that media helps us to collect and gain more knowledge.
Media at the same time gives some bad effects to us for some done it in a wrong way, for instance in using PC there are persons who made a site which contains sexual doings like pornographies, they know that it doesn't bring good to everyone, but why they made it? Maybe it's because they know that lots of youth now-a-days will patronize this site because of "CURIOUSITY" and because of this they can easily earned money, without thinking the effect of this just because of their vested interest. In this situation we can see that media is very common and purely improve in now-a-days.



Internet can contribute to the world of media in the sense that it can help media to be easily delivered into the receiver; they can give information to the people using this internet.

Internet becomes a tool in media because we commonly use is the internet in communicating to the other person specially in communicating people from other country where we see them without expending a big amount of money and we can't sacrifice our time.

Computer technology is powerful because it made the communication process faster and easier.












"HAPAG NA PAG-ASA"
It refers to the 12 different lives of the children who silently inspire the painter Mr. Velasco who spread this very inspirational painting into the other people. This painting shows that there’s a lot of people surrounds us who suffer from poverty but we can’t see it because for us it is just a natural in our surroundings, without knowing how this people suffer in this kind of situation.
The children who are there in this painting with Jesus shows that even though how painful and how life is so tough they still prove that HOPE and REDEMPTION made possible by one’s faith.
In this painting it shows that Jesus share His food to this children like what it look likes in the last suffer.
