The idea for both sides of my controversy is that one side believes that the criminal justice system discriminates against minorities. While the other side is that the police officers are doing the job necessary in order to keep our community safe. Both sides of the argument want the community to be a safer place. The point of this project is to help receive the right information about both sides equally in order to formulate the audiences own opinion besides basing it off a bias media. There are three perspectives that are important in this controversy. The police officers side, the minorities side, and the medias portrayal of both. The medias perspective is the greatest threat because there is so much more information being displayed through the different sources available. This causes people to believe what they are hearing because they hear it more often.

I like that you are including the media as apart of your controversy. Most people don't stop to wonder where information is coming from and whether or not these are any hidden agendas behind that information. I think when it comes to controversies like this one it's important for audiences to know the difference between facts and sensationalization of the facts.
