Project Four Independent Learning Technology Post One

For my first blog post I will talk about the topic my group had decided to pick for project four. For this project, we were again divided into groups. In these groups we were to select a prominent issue in todays world. An issue that we are personally interested in and want to discuss. For my group we chose the topic of the commercialization of children. We thought that the commercialization of children is a growing issue in the US, and that it does not receive enough awareness. Our main goal was to spread the awareness of this uprising problem. We talked about six different aspects of the commercialization of children, and how each one of these aspects are a part of the problem. While researching out own topic we were also required to complete an assignment, which was creating a webpage for the groups issue. The webpage should provide certain information that discussed the groups specific topic. We thought that the commercialization of children is important because now a days the television is such an important factor in our world. If children are being apart of media, it can potentially cause problems within our younger generations. We thought that by trying to spread awareness we would be able to stop this upcoming issues.
