Module 5: Today, it is a fact that a lot of Filipino women are into online GOLD digging. You know what it means, right? Suppose one of them is your sister who happens to be your family's breadwinner. What would you do on this matter?

      Actually I have no sibling, I am the only child in the family but this matter reflects to my two cousins who married a foreigner and they are much very happy. As long as they are okay with it and happy, there's no problem at all.  I know also the reason why they want a foreigner; first is for the greener pastures and others. I give you the short details.
She graduated with a degree of Information Technology, but nowadays, there are lots of people but less vacancies for any kind of work and also have small salaries. The other reason is for convenience, to help the family to be able to pay all the debts. And I believe that the feelings between them can grow as time goes by and as long they respect each other. I don't have rights to control her decisions only I accepted those reasons. I also met the guy and he is good in character.
The other of my cousin was very lucky. They met in Korea where my cousin worked there. The guy is only in twenties and have a really good job. He courted my cousin and the reason for him because he loves the culture of Philippines where Filipina are caring, loving, thoughtful and have great patience and a good material for a wife.
In a relationship, it's give and take. It may sound too good to be true and it still happens for some. They have their own rights what's good for them and I wouldn't mind. I accept their decisions and be happy with them.

Module 8: What computer abuse would you like to eradicate? How would you do it?

The computer abuse that I want to eradicate is HACKING. Computer abuse does not  rise to the level of crime, yet it involves unethical use of a computer. Hacking would affect millions of people who use computers. It is a mere fact that hacking is unethical and criminal. Through hacking, they create software that messes up computer system called viruses and worms that affect the systems of any agency or private use, can control the system, and it takes valuable files of data. According to my research that there is good hacker and bad hacker. Good hackers go to heaven, bad hackers go everywhere. But for me, there's no such thing about good hacker because he takes and controls the system information from a private person which called him a theft. 

As I am a simple person who have computer, I can't do this thing called hacking. You can access of what information you want by making a call to that person and you want his information or what you want to know and it's up to them if they will give or not. And be careful of what you are doing. Hacking is everywhere, but I can advice that you have to limit giving or saving the confidential information and very important information to your computer. To those businesses and agencies, you have to prepare the consequences and manage an anti-hacking systems.

Module 7: There are still enormous sources of misinformation on the world wide web, so how can you determine what is good information and what is bad information?

The Internet is a great source of information and also a source of misinformation. The tools of the Internet misinformation trade include Web sites, emails, posting on message board, chat rooms and other methods. From Internet sources, you have to be careful on what websites you are getting for an accurate information. The following are the good information to have a reliable web page/site.
