We should know the value of being a media and information literate because media in our life has a huge part in the world today. Nearly all the people are using media as a source of getting knowledge and communication. For example Facebook, posting an opinion regarding a serious topic online may result on a dispute between two sides that may cause harm and danger. Also people online are usually victims of cyber-bullying if they post pictures that are different from the audience eyes and also mistakes in spelling or grammar that usually sparks a lot of controversy in the internet that usually cause a persons life or reputation destroyed due to the people making jokes to him/her and also may result in suicide.
