Infographic

Reflection
1. I thought that this topic would be interesting because both sides had many different points that could go either way for a great debate. It is also a big point of contention and heated topic in today’s political climate. I picked this side because many people would not think on this side, and I wanted to get a view on why the government acts this way and has this surveillance. I somewhat believe in this, but there are many downsides to this belief and I feel like there are a lot of flaws that could be exploited in an argument.
2. I think it was somewhat difficult to research just one side of the argument. I needed to find websites that were biased towards my position, and there were very few reliable sources that fit that description. It was hard to focus on just the one topic of research and stay consistent with all of it. It was easy to remain biased but is was hard to push through all of the negatives that my infographic could be pointed out from.
3. I felt that if my infographic had a darker color like it does, then it would fit much better with the material I presented. I found pictures of American theme and pictures relating to computers, because I felt like those two directly coincided with my topic. The biggest downside to my infographic is the lack of charts and graphs, because I just could not find any on the Internet that would have been effective and relevant.
4. I think my infographic is somewhat convincing, but it could have been improved in a major way. The first thing would have been actually figuring out how to work technology to post it onto blogger. It also does not help that there are no visuals to accompany my facts, and that the argument in itself did not really have statistics to go with it. I do think that the information I did present was effective and got people’s attention in many ways. It made a clear argument and pointed out reasons for why my side is right.
