1. Which of the two pictures do you think is fake, and what specific elements in the photo indicate this? (Look closely)

ethical or unethical?
altered.- where do your eyes look? what do you see...
unaltered...what did you look at first?.. i bet it wasn't the man on the floor.
i chose this photo to represent the most unethical manipulation of photos. It is unethical to manipulate this photo because what they did made tried to alter what people knew to be true. If people depend on photos to know whats going on altering whats important in the news now is like altering a history book.

Madison College Diveristy Photo
In the Madison photo they digitally added a black student into their originally all white photo.
they said that they did this to show the diversity that already existed in the school. they said the decision came because there really wasn't any photos that showed the diversity.
I think the photo that they published was wrong because it altered the truth. if they couldn't get any pictures that showed the diversity then that says something. I think that they should have run the first photo because that would have been an actual representation of the school.
