"Understanding the Relevance of Information Literacy in the midst of Social Era"
We are currently living in this era where technology and media have continued to develop and evolve that it could not be halted by anyone. As time passes by and as we live in this technological world, we tend to explore and discover things that would make our lives at some point, convenient to live. With the growing trend of the internet, technology, and different social media platforms, we tend to rely on and obtain information in the easiest way possible. Thus, being information literate in the real world is really an essential skill that we need. Especially in this generation, it is important for us to be well-informed about the current events and issues happening in our country and around the world.
Being information literate is an efficient way of learning. Also, let us always bear in mind that just because the information we need is easily available and accessed, it does not guarantee that all of it is true and reliable. People need to value the skill of being information literate as it teaches us to be critical thinkers in a way that we are responsible for the information that we see, hear, and gather. Thus, information literacy forms us to be better individuals. That it leads us to become wiser consumers of media as well as cultivators of a responsible generation.

"The Good and the Bad: How Social Media Affected Me As a Gen Z Individual"
As a Gen Z individual, I grew up shaped by technology. I can't deny the fact that I always depend on mobile gadgets for school, entertainment, and for my personal and social life. One thing is for sure, the internet has become an essential part of my life. So too has social media. Social media is now the number one time consumer of Gen Z. Even I, spend more time on different social media platforms rather than doing other things that do not concern with using the internet. Social media is sometimes viewed as an online distraction but in my opinion, it is one of the best ways to be informed. It is a valuable tool for us, Gen Z to be aware and informed just as much as adults. These different platforms are raising awareness of political, environmental, socioeconomic problems that our societies face today.
Through social media, we are free to voice out our sentiments and express what we feel. We all know that we have our freedom of expression, but it doesn't mean we don't need to practice our limitations. As a Gen Z individual, it is important to be mindful of what we are doing, and we should have control over what we post on social media. That in every action, it must be coupled with responsibility and I believe being on social media is a responsibility. I believe freedom of expression is power, and it needs to be used wisely.

As users of social media, it is important for us to be well-informed of what participating online means, to develop a skill to comprehend the information we get and identify false information, and most importantly to act responsibly online. The value of being media and information literate is to be knowledgeable when it comes to using these platforms. We can't deny the fact that social media has made things easier and has been beneficial to us but it also entrusts a great responsibility to its users.
