Brainstorm
Video games and violence is an idea my group came up with for a controversial topic idea. I think this topic has two clear sides, both with strong arguments. I think going deeper into both sides of the evidence will, 1) make us decide where we stand, and 2) provide us with a strong video. This topic has a plethora of statistics and opinion pieces that can help us.
I am not completely sure about a second topic, our group threw around a couple of ideas surrounding cancel culture and influencers. Cancel culture is a bit broad, maybe one specific focus, but still not dead set on anything. For the influencers, basically, they make so much money for putting up videos and I was thinking more about how they act separately from their accounts. Again, not very sure.
I’m really pleased with the technology controversy because there is going to be so much content to talk about and will make for a nice presentation. Cancel culture definitely would have been a hard topic to due simply with how large of a topic it is but its good we were thinking about it.
I like the ideas that we came up with, but I am even more content with the topic that we ended up going with. I think there will be so much evidence to support the controversy of children using technology in classrooms.
Sorry I wasn’t in class today to help pick a topic!! I think the topic you guys chose will be really good though, I’m excited to work on it!
I like the final topic you guys decided on! You could also definitely include some stuff about video games in your presentation on this new topic. I can’t wait to watch your group’s presentation!
