Language and Literature

 Dear students Media is everywhere — on our phones, televisions, posters, and websites. Media helps us learn, connect, and stay informed. But with this power comes responsibility . Ethics means knowing the difference between right and wrong . When media is ethical, it is truthful, fair, respectful, and responsible . Ethical media does not spread false information, hurt people’s feelings, or invade someone’s privacy. Even students are media creators. Every time we post, share, or comment, we make a choice. Asking simple questions like “Is this true?” or “Is this respectful?” helps us become responsible media users. Ethical media builds trust and helps create a safer and kinder world for everyone.
