Internet etiquette is a guidelines wherein a computer user shape its behavior. In an era of most advance technology people are equipped of things that goes beyond the capacity on their understanding on the ability of the machines such computers, cellphones and any other related devices that has been driven by the internet. this machines can be view in two ways by its advantage and disadvantage in the sense that it bring fast communication to the people in every corner of the world generally it offers a great help from communications to business processing, and faster updates on the real situations in every country.
But in some other way we must be also vigilant on things happening inside the world of internet, most of us are unaware of that ,this technology brought us to the vulnerability of loosing our personal creations that have been made in the exercise of our intellectual capacity and field of expertise. Furthermore, the worst thing is that internet does not have its tools to stop or prevent those lawless and narrowed minded elements that took advantages the weakness of the machines. One of the most common problems that has always been encountered are plagiarism wherein the documents were being copied by the users without the consent of the authors.
Another problem that always been encounter in the internet is the irresponsible manner of writings of posts through blogging and other related again the weakness of this technology were sometimes abused and took advantage by those wanted to maligning other people.Internet as part of the daily life of the people where almost all of the transactions passes through this kind of technology, the exchange of life style that greatly influence in every corner of the world were also the product of internet the brilliant minds of the people bear such unimaginable things ever created by mankind and develop a society driven by a machines and entirely connected people to people which has been known as a " cyber community".
As a community, though far enough in the real world, were people deals in their everyday life must still observe respect to everyone and observe moral conduct to protect everyone and prevent from harming each other and in order for us to a peaceful existence in using the internet, it is essential to a have a guide what is to be perform and what is none. The following are a sort of help that could prevent us from harming other users and maintain harmonious relationships with the other internet users.
The internet users must learn what is public and private documents, on the previous one, these are those documents that can be access by everyone and can be use to the extent of personal consumptions. these are publicly related or deals with public concern and made with in governmental ranks. the latter are those privately owned though it can be posted in public but still it is restricted by the author and can not be taken, reproduce, for personal use without the consent of the author. Sending other peoples' e-mail address can be harmful to his/her security they are vulnerable of hacking and any irresponsible actions by the other users.Do not publish everyone's private information.

Does the twitter verse open up venue for societal engagement and a
political descent?
Twitter and facebook is actually the product of
technological development where connects people in any places with the help
also in internet. As we can see facebook and twitter have been made to fasten
access of people in their desire in arts, music any in sociocultural, economic
and political fields. Basically it fastens the exchange and sharing of
information in modern world wherein it also provide the most updated political
situation in every country where people can react on it. It is also an outlet for political propaganda but
it does fully offer societal engagement or crackdown it only offers a sort information that makes people to decide
whether it really needs political actions or not.
What really offers a
venue to societal engagement or political descent is the physically initiated
political actions with the broad masses and laid it down in the place where it
should be address. Because a true revolutionary and being a political activist
would not just seat on the table and just rely on the availability and capacity
of the technology to lead a change because it might loosen up our ability to
dig deeper the nature of the societal problems that we want to be change. As my
experience being a human rights and political activist for almost a decade the
most important thing to do to concretely understand the nature of the problem
that we want to be change is to integrate ourselves with those affected sectors
in the society and bring it into actions that effectively crash down to those
political leaders who goes beyond the desire of the people who put them on
their position and the political system inimically embrace the life of the
marginalized this is which I think twitter
and facebook cannot provide.
Why is the
relationship between technology and political protest important?
in the high-tech era
facebook and twitter plays important part in political protest basically it speed up the process of sending information
and sharing of knowledge, almost all of the communication can be channel and
spread out to the widest possible with the help of this kind of technology. With
the help of such twitter and facebook it strengthens our access to information
what is happening inside government agencies or the government as a whole where
people can quickly react and through the help of technology information can
reach out and can gather sympathy to its widest possibility. Historically
technology offers a great help in every political actions from manual to
computerized. My personal experience on the importance of technology in
political protest gives a big difference compare in the past few years in the
field of activism, I personally experience a hardship in getting information
and coordination in organizing mass mobilization. Generally offers to speed up
the system of communication and educating the people and organizing political
protest through the use of radio, television, mobile phones and internet.
What is the
disadvantage of Facebook/twitter and what are the potentials?
facebook and twitter basically offers a wide range of propagating information
and in fact it is on this social media where we can quickly receive news and events compare to
the other traditional one. As what I have mentioned it really helps hasten the
communications on making social actions. But in some other way it is also a
path of strengthening and preserving our country as semi-colonial under the
clutch US imperialist. Super power countries need to control the so-called
three super structure on their colony in order to maintain its control, thus it
ensure that culture would be preserved subservient to their economic interest
that is why most of our local arts (music, movie etc.) industry were vastly
bury into its worst condition because in just a matter of an hour we can quickly
access to those newly released albums of music and whatsoever related culture
through social media. Also in economy most
of the businesses transactions now a day are channelled through internet that
is why the effect of economic crisis in most first world country quickly spread
out to the third world like Philippines such the “high-tech bubble crisis” in
US happen during 2001,facebook and twitter are one of the gateway on this
economic crackdown. Facebook and twitter also risky to the security of the
people who are politically critical especially to the US because we know for a
fact the US who controls all the internet cables which can be monitored by one
of their most advance technology and intelligence agency.
Many of today’s political activist and revolutionary forces
are using facebook and twitter to educate, mobilize and even recruiting online
which is for me is not helpful and will only lessen the quality of new breed
revolutionary or a mass leaders who will lead for their struggle because it
cannot help to develop the every individual’s behaviour as a future
revolutionary leader by simply disintegrating himself with the people that
would suppose to help us mould our mind and characteristics as a political
activist and being a revolutionary.
“History shapes
political view”
karl marx on his theory of historical materialism says that “The actual historical process is not predetermined but depends
on the class struggle, especially the organization and consciousness of theworking class” “Social
progress is driven by progress in the material, productive forces a society has
at its disposal” so definitely the political view of the people is the product
of their realization and consciousness of their
past social conditions not by in any predetermined assumption because
our knowledge relies on the development of a things in motion, and its
inseparable relationship to the mode of production.
sa "ngalan ng tubo" is a documentary video taken into the real situation of the life and struggle of the farmers in Hacieda Luisita a land that has been claimed by the Cojuangco clan through their power in the philippine government. the struggle of the Hacienda Luisita Farm workers is the concrete manifestation on the real situation of the country wherein vast land as the fundamental source of our economy remain at hands of the few ruling class. this is the concrete manifestation why majority of the people continuously suffers from starvation,unfair labor practice and deprivation of the rights to own a land. this implies that the government does not serve on the interest of the people but a tools to maintain the majority of the wealth concentrated to those ruthless oppressor. as long as the political system in the country serves as their shield, the undying and heightening social unrest would prevail until the genuine social justice would be achieve.
