 Week 10 Project task this week we have the majority  of the video completed just need to finish up a few pieces. The idea we went with was a animation type style where we talk about moral panics and culture wars, Edmund is doing most the animation but he is trying to teach us also so we know for the future we are starting to get the hang of things  So things are going well we have another week and a bit to finish and sharpen things up and make it up to scratch for the viewing screen in week 11.  I have just be doing extra research to find out any more information on either moral panics or culture wars that we missed and that might benefit from the video. Everything is going well so far just need to finish up a few things and its ready.  

  Media Representation Week 10 Video Task After watching and analyzing all the videos for the week 10 video task. the idea behind all the videos and information I've gathered is that we examined the ethics of Media and the potential implications For Society, looking particular of representation in media. First Video In the first video It is a series of people explaining why representation matters and how it effects everyone.

It also provided me more time to do extensive research on media ethics because there wasn't anything I needed to modify about the post; I simply needed a deeper understanding of what I was researching and writing about. I also had to make it for educational purposes, namely to explain what the medium is and where the message originated from. So, as one of my peers suggested, I went into more...

Media Ethics Link to the original piece  Media Ethics (shanecdmblog.blogspot.com) After watching all of the media ethics videos for week 6, I've compiled a list of my opinions on how each video relates to media ethics. One of the main thoughts that came to mind while watching all of the videos was how, especially in the first video, he explains how the medium is the message, and one of the conclusions I came to was that how one portrays/represents the message they are giving has a significant impact on the person you are messaging. The channels have significantly more influence on society's essential shape and nature than any message provided through that medium. The Medium is the Message The medium is the message is such a interesting quote because what actually does this quote mean or where does it come from firstly the medium is the message    is a phrase coined by the Canadian communication theorist Marshall McLuhan and the name of the first chapter in his Unders...
