"Impact of Video Production on Society" - Instructions:
1.) In your groups, consider and discuss the ongoing debate about the impact of video production on modern society. There is little argument that it does have an impact. The issue is whether the impact is positive, negative, or both, and to what degree we, as producers and developers are responsible for the result of our actions.
2.) Answer two questions: Is the impact positive, negative, or both and WHY??Are video producers and publishers responsible for the result of their actions?
3.) Try to come to a consensus among your group.
4.) Go to my Links page. Change Section to "Video Design" and click on the link to post an argument. NOTE: If not all group members agree, the group may split up to post separate arguments, or individual arguments if necessary.
5.) We will discuss the arguments as a class.
