❖ However, we always have to consider if the
information we get is true and valid.
❖ Being able to look for the right information in an
effective way is a skill that everyone should have.

4. ❖ Information comes from the Latin word
“informare” which means, “formation of
the mind or teaching”.
❖ Information is vital in our everyday
communication and growth, just like how
we find the need to gather information in
our new environment, or how we would
want to feature our favorite person.

better comprehend and
analyze it.
