Chapter XXI (Piracy and Privacy in the Media)
With the different and new breakthrough in the media world, the private world of everyone is being intruded into. People dig into the lives of people particularly celebrities so as to have something new and stay updated. I think people should leave people alone if they don’t want their lives to be intruded also.
Chapter XX (Media Violence)
Violence is being shown in media and we dismiss it as normal because they are there everyday. Effects differ depending on who the audience is. Children are more vulnerable to the effects especially if they are left unguided.
Chapter XIX (Media Influence on Sports)
Media has entered every institution and it does a lot for the development or downfall of one. When media entered into sports, it did not enter so as to provide for the people. Rather, the media companies did so for raising money. It is up to us to have enough knowledge about these things so that we may know where do our money for entertainment go to.
Chapter XVIII (Helping Others Increase Media Literacy)
We have the power to help others or lead them into the trap of slavery of media. When we teach others, we should be literate ourselves so as to really have a better effect and a more fruitful endeavor.
Chapter XVII (Personal Strategy for Increasing Media Literacy)
We, being the consumers, the audiences, the patrons, are the sole holders of responsibility of the effect of media to us. We should be able to have and create our own techniques so as to get and learn more from the media.
Chapter XVI (The Importance of Real World Knowledge Concerning Media)
When we speak of media, there is a kind of misuse and misunderstanding of what the difference of real world and media world. Sometimes, we have them exchanged and thus, more misunderstanding arise. What we should have in order to be media literate is to be knowledgeable enough of the distinction between the real world and the media world. Hence, we are able to defend ourselves from the damaging effect of media to people.

Certainly, media will have an effect to us. however, the will will vary depending on our being media literate. it can be a reactive or proactive approach. however, it is better to be proactive than reactive. It is through the proactive approach that we could be able to control the effect of media on us.

We need to broaden our perspectives towards the things around us especially on media. This is to avoid an effect that would be harmful for us. Media will surely have an effect to us and no one is exempted to this. being media literate includes the broadening of perspective. that would provide us a better choice of the things offered to us by modern medias.
