C.E. #1.4

 Long Response:
1. I've heard of this topic before in news articles and around my house.
2. I do not think that NFL players should be required to stand for the national anthem because it is their right to peacefully protest, especially right now when there is so much hate in our country. It is not illegal for them to kneel, so why is it so bad? Taking a kneel is widely known as a symbol of respect. When players in football are injured, the team naturally takes a need to show their respect and hope they are okay. What is wrong with them doing this for America when they believe it is injured and hope it will get better?
3. I think that it is less acceptable to not participate in the anthem at all because it is disrespectful, but it is their right to protest. It is not harming anyone to do so, but it is a little bit rude. On the other hand, Trump has been completely unacceptable with handling this situation, so I do not think that the players are more wrong than he is (not that this is how you judge a problem).
4. I do not think that it was acceptable for the President of the United States to address an issue through a social media platform. It is childish for him to do so and makes him seem ignorant and irresponsible.
5. I do think that race plays a role in this topic because Trump has seemingly turned his head away from the white supremacy movements and has even received a "thank you" from their leader. Again, I do not think that it was wrong for the players to kneel during the anthem to show respect and Trump becoming so defensive when questioned about racism is sketchy.
6. I do not know of Colin Kaepernick, other than that he started this protest. I can only assume that he is doing this for in order to better his country, not out of hate.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Image
This photo was taken using F/2.8 aperture. You can tell this because the background is blurry while the bird is in focus. This photo was taken using F/16 aperture. You can tell this because the background is in focus as well as the foreground. 1. We should closely relate aperture to our eyes. 2.The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-stop. The larger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop. 3. The aperture affects the depth of field because the larger the aperture is, then the more focused objects are in the foreground while the smaller the aperture is, the more focused objects are in the background. Shutter Speed This picture was taken using a high shutter speed. You can tell because you cannot see movement in the photo (isn't blurry) This picture was taken using a low shutter speed.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A) I've learned that when you manipulate photos there is a fine line between ethical and nonethical photos. Photoshop is very controversial and can cause many people to be upset about edited photos. Many major publishing companies do not tolerate doctored images at all, and can cause people to lose their jobs. B) The philosophy of photo manipulation for newspaper companies like the Washington Post and New York Times is to provide very strict guidelines for any sort of photoshop. C) I think that it is acceptable to altar an image as long as it does not affect the meaning of an image. I do not think it is ethical to crop somebody's face onto someone else's body because it is hinting that that is their body. I do, however, think that adjusting colors or lighting is acceptable. D) I think that this image is the most unethical because it shows Oprah's head on somebody else's body while stating that it is Oprah. Also, this was published without the consent of eithe
