Capstone Project – Protesting in America

Protesting is the first amendment right given to us Americans, yet when some people decide to protest they are attacked. Whenever we hear about protesters we immediately want to shame them. Yet American’s have been protesting since before America was even founded, the founding of America was pretty much the doing of protest. Gay rights, women’s rights, civil rights, even our secession from Britain. People protest when they disagree with the status quo, and even though during the time they are viewed as anarchist, over time they’re viewed as revolutionaries. My question is if protesting is so in grained in American culture, why is so frowned upon. Most things we take for granted today were once protested. Is there a wrong way to protest? Is there a wrong thing to protest? These are only a few of the questions I hope to answer or at least examine thoroughly so we learn more about protesting and its effect on American citizens and government. With this assignment I want to help outline some historical protests and their outcome with an infographic. Cataloging protests that have changed the status quo and continue to have an influence today’s society. After that I want to create a remix video of protests, their opposition, and the general atmosphere and attitude towards protesters. Highlighting the difference between violent and peaceful protests as well as showing violet opposition to protesters.

The topic that I chose for my Capstone Project is present day cultural differences in business environments. For many individuals who work for/with multinational companies, learning how to anticipate and adapt to cultural differences within foreign countries’ corporate settings is a vital and necessary skill to possess. From obvious differences such as verbal language barriers and outward presentations such as dress and attire standards to more nuanced contrasts such as body language and social ques, each culture possesses a set of norms and expectations that are expected to be recognized and followed by both locals and visitors alike. My website topic will delve into some of these general workplace behaviors and expectations in a broad manner, designed to inform a casual reader. The information presented is neither new nor groundbreaking, but it is a cultural/social topic that holds increasing relevance as more companies and businesses are widening their global operations than ever before. The site is not intended to nor will it include any commentary or opinion on the topic, but rather will act as more of an informational resource. My two media objects consist of an infographic and a short video. The remix is shaping up to cover the topic broadly, while the infographic will be more narrowed in focus and contrasting in content. The remix video will probably have a small amount of animated content. The site layout will comprise of 4 pages (an introductory page, a video page, an infographic and text content page, and a source page).
