THE GL0BAL VILLAGE AND I The world has shrunk into a global village, but have we become more 'neighbors' or more of 'strangers' to each other? We now turned into a global village. When it comes to communication and relationships, this signifies there are no limits. We can communicate with anyone, at any time, anywhere in the globe. Being in a diverse community will be hard and awkward at first. Whereas, people are becoming strangers to each other because of differences in culture, age, ethnicity, language, and race. Some people seem to believe they will not be understood if they start talking to them, but I think some of us have forgotten that we have our universal language. The English language that helps the world to be connected and to have such a close connection just like neighbors. That's why I think that we will become more neighbors than strangers to each other. Being in a global village may have implications but we should also look out for its advantages. The first one is it makes the world interconnected which enables people, communities, and essentially every nation to interact and gain from the experiences, knowledge, and cultures of others. Also, the global support wherein there are individuals and organizations that can raise someone's concern immediately. And eventually, the cultural awareness that allows us to tolerate differences, promotes understanding and acceptance of other cultures and peoples. Besides, we people still have this generous side to welcome other people in a place we called home. Even we are in a multicultural setting, our personal linkages can be created between just about anyone in any part of the world. Because this diversity brings people together. Despite of our differences, we can think of alternative ways that will make communication with others effective.

I KNOW WHAT'S EFFECTIVE a. why you think the ad is unethical; b. how it could possibly be received by certain groups; and c. what could be a better way of presenting the ad save the whales LOSE THE BUBBLER: GO VEGETARIAN This billboard ad that was released by PETA portrays the backside of a woman standing on the beach in her swimsuit. It is unethical because the woman was compared to a \"whale\". Regardless of the fact that she was animated and no one was blatantly objectified, that clearly shows body shaming. Even though its message encourages certain groups to be fit and to be vegetarian, the representation of the advertisement company was still wrong. It is possible that a certain group will be offended or hurt as a result of it. Because, if I were them, being compared to a whale would be quite unpleasant. While we all come in a variety of shapes and sizes, society and the media put a lot of pressure on others with beauty stereotypes and standards that label some people as healthy and others as unhealthy. Dieting has never been that simple, nor has becoming a vegetarian all of a sudden. If I could come up with a better way to present the ad, it shouldn't include offensiveness or comparisons towards certain groups. They should be more mindful to their intended audiences. Furthermore, I suggest it would be better if the advertisement's name were changed to something related to vegetarianism. And also, they should also focus on the benefits that people will acquire from the product they are advertising.

COMMUNICATION STYLE IN THE FUTURE What do you think is the next linguistic phenomenon that will evolve in the Philippines? Why do you say so? Language is everywhere. It could be mentioned in various texts and new words, in long conversations with friends or short conversations with strangers, and in the continuous streams on our social media feeds. Linguistic penetrates our entire lives as we begin to comprehend the larger picture or, in particular, how language works. If I would think of the next linguistic phenomenon that will evolve in the Philippines it is code-switching. Where in a single discourse, it is the shifting between two or more languages or language varieties. For example, the Tagalog and English languages, often known as Taglish, evolved gradually over time as a result of words that had no exact or equivalent translation. Knowing both tongues, it became easier to interact by linking the two rather than attempting to entirely translate one from another. It has been observing that many of the individuals nowadays are using this kind of linguistic phenomenon because some Taglish people have difficulty expressing purely in Tagalog or in comprehensive English. Likewise, depending on my interactions with people who predominantly use Taglish, I am influenced by them as well. Furthermore, this code-switching has also had an impact on our ethnic identity. Wherein, according to Hall and Nilep (2015), \"Code-switching [is] a product of local speech community identities. Speakers are seen as shifting between ingroup and outgroup language varieties to establish conversational footings informed by the contrast of local and non-local relationships and settings.\" Through that switch, people are more connected across the world and specifically here in the Philippines. And I think they prefer it, which is why I simply assume it will be the next linguistic phenomenon. However, we must keep in mind that there is an evolving phenomenon because we can more easily emphasize a point if we are comfortable with that type of language.

SOCIAL MEDIA USED AND I Does the language we use dictate the language of new media, or do new media shape the language that we use? (Are we using new media, or are new media using us?) Social media is a popular and rapidly developing knowledge and interactivity platform where people may easily acquire information and share their views. It also changes the way an individual perceives the world. Language is obviously influenced by social media. It's the impact felt in a variety of ways, from the introduction of new phrases to new meanings for old words to altering the way we communicate. In my viewpoint, we are using the new media because we have the control over the language we use. We divulge more private information, but we also communicate with broader groups of individuals. As a result, our communication styles have been more informal and open, which has spilled over into other facets of life and society. When it comes to the evolution of language, social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others have a strong influence. One of the clues that our language is fast evolving is the use of abbreviations, jargons, slang, and new terminology. Some people use those words or phrases to make interaction easier or simply keeping up with whatever is prevalent. This clearly shows that the language we use to dictate is shaped by us, the masses.
