Find TWO current media topics which you consider to be social justice or moral issues.
1. Name the issue
The issues that I have chosen are as follows:
- Qantas voice recorder overwritten – Moral Issue
- Lost Prospector ate bugs to survive – Social Justice
2. Describe one media account of this issue
The media account where findings uncover that the Qantas flight that had to make the emergency landing in Manila a few days ago did not have any record on the on board black box of what had happened in the air. I consider this immoral as the black box on the plane could have had the answers that would potential save lives but was overwritten maybe due to the fact that Qantas does not want the public to know that flying with their airlines is not safe. This account is immoral because that black box can save many lives and as well money running investigations.
3. Where did you get this media account from?
I have found this account from the media TV. Specifically Channel Nine news website.
4. Is this media account correct or reliable? Why?
I would think this media account is correct and reliable because investigations have been made on the plane about his incident and that the reports of Channel Nine news have reported back live. Also people can acceess sites to counter check if the information is legitimate or made up.
5. Where else might you be able to find more information about this issue?
The Public can find more information about this media account via the Qantas website which reports to the relatives and loved ones of the passengers what had happened and also people can get more information from Manila Airport website.

1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.
Two things that I have learnt during today’s lesson is how easily the general public can easily manipulated by the press and media by just changing a small detail in the story. The public does not know what the real story is and what the fake story is.
2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.
One area that I want to improve on during this is how I do my work. In the previous project when I do my work I will always do it the day before the due date and also I would only do my work just for the sake of doing it. Last project I have not put myself into it and so did not exert effort coming up with a B not an expected A. Another that I need to concentrate on is the work that I do in class. IN the last project i have done most of the project work at home and so I was not able to get help from my teachers or from my group which may have been the difference between an A and a B.
3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.
Two ways that we can resolves disputes are assign the tasks early in the project to determine whos ding what so there are no confusions on what each members job is. Another solution is to get to know each other, like a fellowship. Doing this gets the students to get to know each other well and so they would be confortable with working with each other.
