PSA The Ethics of Representation

I chose to do my PSA on the ethics of representation because I wanted to show students that media messages can have a strong impact on how they view a certain subject, but there is always more than one side of the story, and you need to be able to objectively find the other side of it.

In the PSA I broke down the ethics of representation down into three categories, subject, author, and audience, and subcategories for each. Under subject there is consent and free will. Under author there is intentionality, consequence, and social good. And under audience there is intentionality and social good. Breaking it down in this way allowed me to pick apart the most important aspects of the ethics of representation.
