As i aim to be a medical student or should i say future doctor. One of my advocacy is to prevent and find cure to HIV( Immunodeficiency Virus), because i was inspired by the movie “Ang batang Poz”, which opens the eyes of the viewers about the said deficiency. Young people in every nation, of every race/ethnicity, and at every income level are living with HIV. These youth face legal and cultural discrimination, and too often, are unable to get what they need to stay healthy. It’s our responsibility to ensure these young people have access to physical and mental health care, medication, food, and housing. We must end laws and policies which criminalize people living with HIV, and make sure every young person living with HIV is cared for and valued. We should not be blinded by the prejudice of others when they dimmed Hiv Infectees as disgusting and immoral. Just like the main characters of the movie they had their own story to tell and suffering to bear. So we should help to regain their confidence by finding a cure to “HIV”. Let us diminished the thought of stereotyping peoples deficiency instead lend a hand to make a happy and a cleaner society.
“I want for young people and the future generations, especially those of color, to understand that even one voice can make an impact in challenging mainstream injustice”.

We are living today in what is known as the digital age, and the only certainty is that if future generations continue to develop and grow. Developing and expanding for future generations is important for everyone. To grow and evolve along with the press, it is crucial for everyone to properly understand what is being presented to media at the age of a younger.
Media and information literacy have huge role into how important media and information is affecting our everyday lives. It gives everyone the freedom of expression in reacting into such information as it also promotes how an individual should critically think, evaluate, organize and analyze information from various forms of media into approaching and solving such information. It answers some of the question we cannot even answer for ourselves through this it engages everyone to understand the function of media and Literacy. As we know that media and information literacy depend on information to work optimally. While some people are starved for information, others are flooded with print, broadcast and digital content. It becomes an important tool in modern communication and the digital age has made it easy for anyone to create media. We dont always know who always know who created something, why they made it, and whether it’s incredible. This makes media literacy tricky to learn and teach. Nonetheless, media literacy is an essential skill in the digital.
I’ve laerned that posting and sharing is part of our our daily routine. We have the right of every individual to hold opinions without interference and to seek, recieve and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers especially when its all about our ideal. Being a media user has a lot of responsibility in social media, we have this new kind of way communicate with people that’s very direct, unfiltered, raw reflection of the way something is landing in the culture without any spin or filtration or anything. Its very raw, we need to be more careful in posting links, pages or even personal status so we can prevent distortion.
