Capstone Project- Lylliana Gurrola

For my capstone project I will be looking at racial profiling as a social and cultural topic. Today in society many darker pigmented individuals are killed, judged, or hindered from certain opportunities based on their race. There is more forced used by officers based on race and how patient or understanding of the situation they are. The subject matter I will be enclosing on will be police brutality and the stop and frisking of how often darker people like Mexicans or blacks get stopped vs. lighter colored individuals or whites. And how often certain races are accused for weapons, robbery, auto theft, drugs, or assault. These all fall into crime and which police officers or court deems them guilty. The two media objects I will be completing are a racial profiling infographic on police checking, or brutality and ratios on color. And a remixed video on different scenarios or clips of unnecessary violence or irrational measures being taken. These two media objects matter to each other because one is a flat image of just statistics and facts and the other is something that makes you feel for the subject and the real videos that displayed. Everyday this happens and it needs to stop because families are loosing young ones and being incarcerated for no reason. This relates to my website because it brings all the attention to one space and the subject matter is presented all at once on color, police judgment, incarceration rates, and family morning.
