 - Our brains depend on information to work optimally. The quality of information we engage with largely determines our perceptions, beliefs and attitude. It could be information from other persons,the  media, library ,archives, and museums.

-People are more integrated with communication to the society that they belong to and to be able to express and contribute ideas from the person one another for whatever cause that may be and to know its importance and complexity to the society that needs of communication very well. It is a desire to express whatever feeling that you keep hiding in your heart that needs explanation and processes.

This kind of freedom of speech/expression is able to relate the process of communication on how we express and feel the freedom to contribute some information from others.

ASSIGNMENT 

1. How do you understand the following terms? Plagiarism and Intellectual Property?
-Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work Intellectual property -Is a work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc. 
2. Based on you experience, how will you define “misinformation” and “disinformation”? You can site examples of situations to help you build your own definition. 
-Misinformation is wrong information which is given to someone, often in a deliberate attempt to make them believe something which is not true, it is presented as truth only because the communicator does not have the facts straight. While Disinformation is sometimes confused with misinformation but the two are distinguished by their intention. The purpose of disinformation is to deceive, For example, stories from RT and Sputnik — the Russian government’s propaganda outlets — appeared on the first page of Google searches after the March nerve agent attack in the United Kingdom and the April chemical weapons attack in Syria. Similarly, YouTube (which is owned by Google) has an algorithm that prioritizes the amount of time users spend watching content as the key metric for determining which content appears first in search results. This algorithmic preference results in false, extremist, and unreliable information appearing at the top, which in turn means that this content is viewed more often and is perceived as more reliable by users. Revenue for the SEO manipulation industry is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. 
3. What are the potential dangers of misinformation and disinformation? How do ethical standards minimize the occurrence of misinformation and disinformation? 
-The disinformation can either be used for good or bad. Misinformation and disinformation can cause panic and arguments. To prevent misuse of information in social media,Governments should promote news literacy and strong professional journalism in their societies. The news industry must provide high-quality journalism in order to build public trust and correct fake news and disinformation without legitimizing them.
