The Setbacks of Privacy

 Piracy is an act of robbery that could affect the film industry, in terms of their works. This has a great impact on our economy because a sign of stealing or duplicating someone's work is an illegal crime that could put you in jail and can penalize you with a large amount of money. In our economy, piracy, in terms of movie is very popular in many stores that can be sell with a small amount of money that can lead to people to watch for affordable price unlike to the cinema that cost much, this clearly affects the the producers of the film that cost them thousands rather millions of money just to  finish a certain film, it is clearly unfair for the producers in terms of profit. They work hard for a certain movie to be finished then people tend to duplicate it. This is an act of inappropriateness and clearly has no respect for the producers. 

        The negative effects of piracy towards our economy is that it reduces the sales of movies and music industries and other works that are produced. There are many reasons why people did this kind of illegal things one of the reasons is that, that certain person does not have any job, rather a certain person ordered him/her to do that kind of thing in return he/she would get money rather a salary, and sadly this kind of things would lead him/her to jail because it is illegal according to our law. Therefore piracy is an illegal way of copying others works without the owner's permission. This law is very important to movie, music and others works to their industry. The producers are working hard just for the entertainment for us audiences and to provide our needs in terms of entertainment. A one way to honor and respect their work we need to follow rules and regulations in order to avoid conflict.

“Media and Government: A Love-Hate Relationship”

             The Media, and the government. These are the two most powerful institutions in the world. The media and the government has the power to manipulate people and to change how people think on certain topics going around our world today. Without media we wont know the happening or information about our society. The media has a big impact of our country this are the one’s who spread and publish information through different social media platforms form but, our media sometimes misinterpret the government and this would cause hatred and chaos. The media sometimes misinterpret our presidents opinion the would cause a fuss to the audiences, and we people could hear different kinds of opinion and rants towards to our president because the media could easily manipulate people in terms in publishing false information. The media should take responsible in terms of publishing articles that would destroy the image of the government.

         Without the media, we wouldn't be able to be informed or warned of what's going on in our world today, and who would be there to monitor us and lead us down the right direction without our government? At many stages, the press and the government appear to disagree with one another. People say some of the news that is published is biased, but the government insists it's not. What the government is saying is criticized by some journalists. Because of this, the state issues claims that the media would then oppose. Once one opposes another, it is a cycle. As a result, they exploit people. Several netizens share their own statements and perspectives about what's going on around them. They are divided because of these people. They have the ability to alter the views of people. But despite that, without the media, let's never forget, there will be no accountability in the country. The media acts as our guide and our watchdogs to alert us of what is going on in our world right now. Even if at times, without them, they clash, life will become harder for us. The government can't guide people to the right direction alone, so they need a helping hand, and the media is the helping hand.
