The Rapid Development

One of the signs of progress in today’s society is the rapid development of technology. It brings innovation to the society as well as well as to the people within the society. Behind this progress lie the two properties. Allow me to tackle first about the positive; we are not denying the fact that the rapid development of the technology gives us convenience, consolation and happiness because difficulties tasks are made easy and fast. We save time, Isn’t it very beautiful? Now, the question would be; are there really negative propensities? If you try to analyze this would be the altitude of the people. They have eyes but they cannot be, why? It is because they are being blinded by the consolation they got from the development of the technology. By merely looking at the attitude of the people who are influenced by this development, you can immediately notice the negative effect. Some people become lazier. They rely so much on the technology. They became dependent and abusive. To be more particular, I would like to use the internet as an example. As we all know, it has been useful but at the same time an accomplice. It is because sin can be easily committed in only a “click”. People who have hidden agenda of using this means maximize their time in abusing it. Another thing is the diminishing “Industriousness” of some students particularly some seminarians of the Rogationist regarding research work. Why? It is because they prefer using the internet rather than to research the books in the library. So, studying is somehow becoming effortless in a sense that they will just click and click unlike working in the library; they have to research thoroughly and wisely. On the other hand, it is useful because it can store many documents and so on and so forth. There are so many positive effects to mention. Like easy communication wherein people who abroad and who went abroad and who are far from their love ones can easily communicate without difficulty. To conclude, I can say that “challenges” were long time companion if this development. Find it won’t come to realize the foolishness that they have been doing.

The church and internet

Upon reflecting in this issue of the church and internet I’ve realized that the church’s intention in using the internet is really positive. I can say that, if only it was used in accordance to the intention of the church everything is fine today, maybe try to look at this quotation “human experience itself is an experience of media.” It means that media really penetrates in the lives of the people. so, try to imagine if during those times people were properly educated and oriented about the capacity or power and the danger the media in particular the internet could bring, we have nothing to talk about or “problem’ at this moment. Speaking of internet , it is known for its positive and negative. Capacities. It can carry and store religious information and teaching beyond all barrier and frontiers. “such a wide audience would have been beyond the wilderness imaginings of those who preached the gospel before us”. On the other hand it can also plunge many people into consumerism, pornographic and violent fantasy, and pathological isolation. Actually, it is the middle extreme effect, it’s either for the best or for the worst. So then the middle would be moderation. “everything must be done in moderation.”

To conclude, I can say that media is a gift of God intended to be use for the greater good. However we can not deny the fact that there were abuses in the past which is also happening today. We could not just blame the church because she is doing her part since then. Still , depends on the people who are using it. My only advice is if you are tempted to do what is evil just remember the “perfect communicator’ who suffered for us and who gave us this kind of communication means, in particular, the internet.

Ethics of Advertising: Its nature

 

            It is hard for a person who does not have any idea regarding advertisements. This is because advertising is all about us. It touches our lives every day in a direct manner. From the moment we wake up in the early morning, we begin to feel the presence of advertising trough the radio. When we lift our newspaper, we come face to face with hundreds s of advertisement in its pages, in our way school or office, we encounter signs in the interior and exterior of moving vehicles advertising a wide variety of items, merchandise, ideas, services. Somewhere along the way, advertising signs of various shapes, sizes and color can be seen on walls, post, and buildings. When we television we3 expose ourselves to the message of advertiser.

            These are some of the persist manifestations of advertising. Modern advertising that can make people work harder so they can afford the use of better products

Besides these, advertising touches us in an infinite variety of forms. Some direct, others indirect, some subtle, other various and even blatant.

            This pervasiveness of advertising, it’s phenomenal growth as an industry, it’s increased power to influence our behavior and help shape our precisions have made advertising the object of much criticism. For years, economist and intellectual, both in the Philippine and abroad, have joined the legion of critics attacking advertising. For its alleged adverse economic and social effects. Some have even advocated its abolition and this is not surpassing centuries ago, when economist and government leader first because aware of the growing influenced of advertising, they almost succeeded in taxing out of existence.

            But they have failed their loud and vigorous attacks, in fact, have only given advertising renewed strength. Today advertising has achieved a degree of development unheard of in the past. And from all indications, advertising is here not only to stay, but play an increasingly important role in society.

100 years of cinema

 

My reflection about 100 years of cinema many places the desire has been expressed for guidelines for reflection and practical suggestions aimed at helping parents and teachers to awaken children and adolescent to the problems posed on their level by the presence in their lives of the moving image and in particular of the motion picture, which this year one hundredth birthday. Nowadays, youngest levels on the society consider the television as the normal household appliance, regardless of what it transmit, as a result, more hours are spent in front of the TV screen by small children and adolescent than by the successive age group, since youngsters who are self sufficient enough to go out on their own, go to the cinema if they want to see  a film. I learned that there are outlines they propose for works and reflection suitable for the various age groups that are presented there. I read those criteria they are essential to recognize the vital importance of spiritual and religion values, which express human kind’s relationship with God and reach their culmination in the faith.

As my conclusion about 100 years of cinema I ask myself at this point how cinema express transcendence it is really in great film spectacles’ aimed at the masses, dealing with biblical in other words, it is necessary to have the gift of faith to be capable of making the children and adolescent as a good religious in our society. But most of all we need also to educate ourselves so that the children would imitate ask and last those criteria should be approved so that it lead the children in good ways.
