Politics Group Outline

So the politics group lost some people, and as a result we have joined forces once again. The remaining members have decided to follow through on a project that focuses on reality and representation of the political situation. Divisions are as follows:

Basic Overview/History – Ethan G.
Reality: Visuals - John
International View - Susan
Reality: Opinion - Zack
Representation: Israeli visuals - Jacques
Representation: Palestinian visuals – Ethan B.

We are going to do a video presentation pulling clips from a variety of sources as well as adding our own information from a variety of non-video sources.
