Capstone Project – Wealth Inequality

Posted on by

For my capstone project I’m going to discuss about the wealth inequality in America.

“In a 2011 study, Harvard business professor Mike Norton and economist Dan Ariely asked over 5,000 Americans how they thought wealth was distributed in the US, and what the ideal distribution looks like. Most participants were far from understanding the extent of income inequality, which is not surprising considering the incomprehensibly wide wealth gap that exists.” – 

The wealth inequality is an interesting topic that not much americans would like to think about. This fascinates me how the 1% owns most of americas wealth. This topic can be looked at in many ways but I will be arguing for it. I think their should be a change in this inequality in America. My goal is to stretch this idea out to others. My target audience will be mostly working adults but also someone who wants to hear a little about the truth. Overall I think this would be a great topic to look into more and inform others.

My two media objects will be an infographic and an animation. The infographic will include many statistics and facts. This will be much easier for the viewer to grasp information on the topic. It would be a great way to showcase the whole idea of the wealth Inequality in America. It would be a great way to represent all the information quickly. For my animation I will include a short video to showcase my topic. It will be entertaining and engaging.
