1. How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?
I feel that the media portray social justice issues by presenting them generalized and not in much depth to what is actually hapening and focusing in on the real message of the story.

2. Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?
Yes it has been hard to find articles on social justice issues because the media like to pick on the small things and focus on the main people or person in the article to show the readers what they have done and for what reasons they did it.

3. Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.
The media work from a moral framework because if the reader, listeners or watchers at home hear about (which is usually a bad cause) what the person did, they compare it to what normal people would do and then are amazed at how someone could commit something, whatever the cause may be. So the media definatley operate from a moral framework. 

1. Describe what is a Critique.
A critique is identifying the main points of a story that you can generalize and mostly describe rather than analyse.

2. Outline the FOUR stages in a critique.
The four stages in a critique are as follows:-
. An introduction (wich usually grabs the readers attention).
. A sumary of the article.
. Your analysis or personal comments on the story.
. An evaluation or conclusion of the article written.

3. Can a critique be positive? Discuss.
Yes, a critique can be positive because it allows you to generalize the story without having to change the story line and making up a completly different and non-relevant article. This can be used against newspaper readers (if you are a journalist or news reporter).

4. Critique the accuracy of the following articles:
Arcticle 1: The article that i just watched can no way be true because there is no evidence shown, they are just talkin from what they think they want to beleive and to what they fear.

Article 2: Donkey’s in basketball is not a real sport and this news article is wrong, even though they have shown images and moving clips the audience can tell straight away that it is not factual.

1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)
Dalai Lama is a spiritual buddist who lives in india. He is the leader of the monks and is sometimes regarded as a living God.2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.
Dalai lama’s reactions in tibet were i think the only way he could maybe get the riots and anger to stop. For him to leave so that the riots could end and have peace in tibet i think is a noble act wich we should all learn from.
