For my group’s public controversy, we have chosen the reality of Food Oppression and how it relates to Socioeconomic Status. We will be using research and previous experience of this specific issue in order to frame and ultimately create our video. Our ultimate hypothesis is based around the fact that people in a lower economic class will often eat more unhealthy and frequent at fast food restaurants than those with a higher economic status.

My specific job in this project will be to aid in research and creating credibility for the points that we bring up in our video, as well as being the voice-over for the less exciting parts throughout the video in order to still keep it intriguing and informational. I will also keep my group on schedule, making sure that all of our parts are done and placed in order to make a functional, cohesive final project. Max and I will be helping each other to create a video that outlines all of our team members hard work in the effort of making a full, informational video about our topic.

The biggest challenge that I believe may present itself is going through the information and research that was found during the beginning phase and creating a video that is still within the 7-10 minute window, informative to the audience, but also somewhat entertaining. This challenge goes along with the limitations of this project because while a lot detail was found through research, the video cannot include every single detail while still meeting the desired time constraints. Some information, such as very basic meal outlines, nutritional constraints, and every confounding factor that may influence food choice, will have to be left out, as we only have 7-10 minutes to present all of our information. However, though it is a struggle to organize all of the information that presented itself, it is very clear that this is a controversy that should be discussed and hold those in charge accountable.
