People have forgotten the Filipino values and culture because of the presence of media and technology in the world. They treated them as one of the most important things and a part of everyday living. The media is the most influential...to the youth, children and people of all ages. Cellphones, televisions, computers are some of the gadgets made by technology. Almost everybody were already exposed to the modernization of the world. Technology is the application of Science in which we possess everyday to make all our works easier and faster. However, this media and technology affects people way of life and the values we take cared of will also vanish at the same time. And as we live, we also get higher and higher in overcoming our dreams with them. We see them as a good stimulus without thinking the equilibrium of it's effect. I am also one of those people who were thankful of the birth of media and technology. With them, I can do things in my own way. I can cooked my food

One day a substitute teacher picked one of her students to read aloud from the textbook. But instead of reading the text the child sat down and said “No thank you”. The teacher thought that the child was acting smart. So she got mad and told the child to see her after class. Maybe someone like that child was a new thing for some teachers. But it wasn’t new for David. His been through scenes like that all of his life. Even though his seventeen and a junior in high school, he can’t read because he has DYSLEXIA. He can’t read his homework or the newspaper or a menu in a restaurant or even notes from his friends. He can’t even read his own name. He wanted to die. If you’ll ask me about his early years in school, I can’t find the words how bad it really was. Sometimes his teachers would try to be encouraging. When he couldn’t read the words on the board they’d say “Come on David, you know that word”. But only he really didn’t. And it was really embarrassing for him. He felt dumb and that’s

When I was still young, I can always have the things I want. When I need something my parents gave it. But now that I’ve already grown up, everything has change. Life in my younger years is very opposite with my life now. I have to learn things all by myself, I mean to become independent. And also make my own decisions. Sometimes I can’t believe how things happen so fast, it was like yesterday! I can still remember those times my father teaches me how to walk. That’s why sometimes I wonder why he never let me go out with my friends. I’m so happy when my mother gives me some presents after school, back in my childhood. I also can’t forget the feeling when she hugs and kiss me. Now, I never felt that feeling again, maybe I’m too old to kiss by my mother or else the problem was in my part. Things really have changed a lot. And nothing is constant in this world but changes.

In this modern world, we live with many things surround us. We need food, water, clothing, shelter in order to live .But do you think we also need love or money? People value love as an important thing because without it, living in this world is useless. However, others say, money is the most valuable thing on earth this time, because without it we will not be able to buy all our needs. Love is a thing that we always desire to have. Money is a thing that we really work hard to have it. See the difference? For me, I choose both of them. The two of them are important things in life.

Money practically is what we need to attain all we want to do and what we want to have. Without it, we will not make things successful. Love needs money. However, money needs love…… (Opinion) he he
