1. Red sunsets can be more impressive when there is dust or pollution in the air because for the sunset to be like that the sun has to shine on something denser then air e.g. dust, pollution or even a cloud.

2. The things that happen inside a water dropplet to cause a rainbow is light going through it and refracting into whatever colours of light make up white light e.g. red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo and violet. You can tell if a rainbow is primary or secondary because primary rainbows are formed by light reflecting inside the rain droplet once but secondary rainbows are formed by light reflecting in a rain droplet twice.

1. I feel the media portrays social justice issues unfairly e.g. aboriginals are blamed for things.

2. It has not been difficult to find issues on socia justice becuase it is such a large topic and there is a countless number of articles about social justice.

3. I do not think the media operates from a moral framework because all they want to do is tell the news they don’t think “is this fair to that person” or “why am i doing this” all they want is to make money.

1. A critique is a person whos job involves identifying critical things to say about an article and resisting the temptaion to describe rather then analyse.

2. The four stages in a critique are:

• Introduction – name the issue discussed
• Summary – distinguish clearly between the controlling idea and the ideas and information.
• Analysis – you should identify the strengths and weakness of the publication.
• Evaluation - is the positive and negative values of the article.

3. No a critique can’t be positive becuase you are critisisng the article not describing it.

4. 

I do not believe the first video was accurate because we all know that dragons are make believe monsers and magic does not wake up stone monsters, also it would be absurd to believe that china is digging a hole for the American athletes to fall into.

I also believe the second one was nonsense but they showed some videos of donkey bascketball so it might just be accurate although it sounds ridicullus.
