Homework:

Part 1: Internet Ethics, Discussion Three

In an examination of ethics and the Internet, it is important to carefully evaluate the reliability of electronic web and print media, especially in an academic setting. Go to the website maintained by CNet called Pictures that Lie:

http://news.com.com/2300-1026_3-6033210-1.html

Look at the photos and read the comments on the right describing them. Choose one of the photos to analyze briefly. Upload that photo to your blog (you may use a screen shot or you may save the photo for upload).

Make an entry in your blog discussing:

What picture you chose and why
Where did the picture originate?
How was it manipulated?
Why was it manipulated?
Was the manipulation harmful? Why or why not?

Conclude your entry by going on You Tube and choose a short (2 min or so) video that pertains to image manipulation (and Photoshop). Explain your choice and what you think its message is. Embed the video at the end of your blog entry. You will need to copy the Embed code and use the HTML tag in your blog instead of the Compose tag. Here's how!!
