1. What changes have you made? I have added colour to the picture i have also added pictures of stuff which Australia didnt know about back in the 1940’s e.g.  new cars and animals which have recently been imported from different countries like the kiwi. I also showed the cedar tree which used to only eb able to grow in Lebanon

2. Why? What does it tell us about changes in Australia? I added colour to show that technology has been developed since the 1940’s. I added features like the chinese restaurant to show the multiculturalism. I showed that engineering has also developed through the types of cars you can see there. I also show a range of sports equipment which also shows multiculturalism like a hockey stick. I have added animals which WERE native to other countries and show that they are now a part of Australia. I also added the cedar tree to show that it is not any more just native to Lebanon

3. What techniques have you used to reveal these changes (colour, modality, vectors, reading path, symbols, angles, shots, gaze) I used colour modality and also symbols which helped me reveal and make these changes clear.

4. If you used a technique, why did you choose it? How is it effective in creating meaning?
Colour- The original image is black and white and the images which i have appropriated into the picture are all coloured so it shows how Australia has changed and it is also easy to compare to the original image. Modality had the same effect.

Symbols- I used symbols to represent a new race which has joined Australia. E.G. Chinese Restaurant sign shows how Chinese people have came to Australia. The hockey stick is another example it shows how Canadian sports vahe made their way to Australia. Also the kiwi which is bative to New Zealand this symbolises that New Zealanders have also migrated to Australia 

1. What changes have you made? I have changed the theme from Andy going to gte cattle to Andy going to fight with a rical gang that is the biggest change i have madefrom the original

2. Why? What does it tell us about changes in Australia? It shows how gangs have taken over and how their are alot of fights going on around the nation.

3. What techniques have you used to reveal these changes (metaphors, simile, personification, onomatopoeia) i have used the same rhyming cuplets and i have used similies adn metaphores to show the changes.

4. If you used a technique, why did you choose it? How is it effective in creating meaning? I used the same rhyming cuplets so it is easy to recognise the original. It is effective because even thoufgh it has a completely different meaning it can still be easily compared to the original.

1. Explain the purpose of using ‘youtube’ as a source of digital media advertising.

The purpose of posting videos on youtube to advertise  is because youtube is a world wide site that has over 1 million people view it each day this is a good oppurtunity for a company to get their brands name across. Also people can see your companys product and unlike advertising o television the company doesnt have to pay for advertising. 

2. Discuss how media collaborative sites such as youtube, myspace, bebo have change the current boundaries of media such as news.

Media collaborative sites have the ability now to spread news and information quickly and more fluently. It also allows ordinary people to post their own personal views on certain topics. All these sites including youtube now allow you to create a network of freinds where you can send videos images and information. This has definatly pushed the boundaries of media because before you could only get the facts now you can have an opinion and you can share your opinion around the world.

1.) Define the term ‘moral integrity’.  http://www.unmc.edu/ethics/words.html#M  defines moral integity as  Moral integrity is a complex and subtle ethical notion. As theologian Stanley Hauerwas has argued, it is central to all the other virtues but more fundamental than any single virtue. The root of the term integrity is wholeness. Moral wholeness rather than rigidity best captures the idea of moral integrity. For example, a person might discover that some long-held ethical belief, attitude or rule of conduct was mistaken because the person came to see that it was incompatible with other, more fundamental ethical commitments.2.) Describe why Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity.
Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian who displays moral integrity because when ever he saw someone suffering he always voulenteered to take their place and was always ready and willing to do so. He showed a high level of moral integrity

The reason why access to information is a positive of the internet is because it allows the user to access a wide range of information around the globe. It also has a wider availability then books so you can see more websites and ultimately gain more information. It also allows the information to be processed faster so you can get a wide range of information in a short space of time.

The reason why accessing information is really easy on the internet is because of certain “tools” like search engines and find tool (control F). You can find a wide range of information just by searching keywords. You can also check which information is more recent and which information is qualified. You can also listen to other users opinions and post up your own opinions.

There are plenty of blogs around the internet, there are also a lot of statistics so you can get back your information with solid facts. For people who are visual learners there is a wide range of videos. The most notable video site is youtube but it is important for users to not limit themselves to just youtube there is also Google video and podcasts. There are also tonnes of pictures around the internet which can help if your a visual learner as well.

Overall you can see that the internet has become an essential part when it comes to accessing informations and it is most peoples number 1 source of information.

 Cyber_ Bullying

The netalert program defines cyber bullying as Bullying which is carried out through an Internet service such as email, chat room, discussion group or instant messaging. It may also include bullying through mobile or SMS. Some examples of cyber bullying are:
Spreading of rumours online
Teasing and being made fun of

Anyone is open to cyber bullying and it is difficult to block or capture the abuser, this is because the abuser can make themselves annonimous.

The reason why cyber bullying is a negative of the internet is because it can be very offensive and damage kids mentally and can lead to them getting hurt phisically or even killed/ kidnapped.

The netalert program provides protection to cyber bullying or it can be really simple to protect yourself just always make sure that you know who you are talking to and try not to meet new people online.
