Fair Use

I never new about Fair use. I thought that pretty much everything was copyrighted, yet people use other people's work just because they can. I didn't realize how big of an issue copyright was until this year. I always thought it was something we did in school so we didn't get cited for plagiarism, and that was it. Now I notice how big of a problem it is in many aspects of life and how important it is or it can ruin your, or someone else's, work. Copyright, however, is trumped by Fair Use in some situations. This is the situations in when it is essentially "okay" to uses copyrighted images. Some examples for this are for educational purposes, if you ask the creator for permission and get it, or if you are not harming the creators work and not producing profits from it. In our projects we have upcoming for class, we are able to use copyrighted images due to it being required for an educational purpose and there is no profit being made or harm being done to the creator.

    Hey, I enjoyed reading you blog about fair use. It is funny because I was not completely aware of all the different copyright laws until college as well. I would think of it as citing a research paper or something of that nature. I wrote my posts about digital artists. Digital artists create images that use ten to twenty different photographs, but the question is whether or not they can do this. The answer is that they can as long as they use stock images, or images that are labeled for re use. I thought this was an interesting topic that connects well with the idea of fair use! Overall, great work by telling a compelling story and relating it back to education. I hope to read more of your work in the future! Have a good weekend!

Group Project 1

Image
In class, we were assigned a project to focus on collaboration and the formation of groups. Were able to choose our own teams and our task was to create a presentation of a group we found (for the class) We were asked to use Tuckman's five stages to analyze and interpret these groups. There were a lot of good presentations; but my personal favorite was the one some group did about the movie The Longest Yard. Greats videos with accompanying explanations to make a great presentation. My group, however, did the film Rouge One. This was a good example because in all star wars movies there is a group that comes together to try and fight evil. This movie was a little stranger though, especially for the adjourning stage, because this was everyone's death because once they fulfilled their goal, they all were killed. My part was norming and I thought I did a decent job! Videos would've helped and I was a little nervous but it was fun and honestly cool to realize how life is pretty m

NYC Trek

This past week, I along with 14 other of my peers were given the opportunity to travel to New York. We were able to get first hand experience of life in the city and visit 10 different marketing firms in two days! Huge thank you to Marisa Allen and Eller College of Management for presenting us with this great opportunity. I also wanted to thank Jet.com, Abasi Rosoborough, Sakara Life, VaynerMedia, NBC Universal, Cognito, GAP, HAVAS, Usabilla , and Simplifeye for hosting us and giving us insight to what different careers in marketing look like.

TopHat

Image by Nikodem Nijaki via Wikimedia In class, we started using the website TopHat. I personally have used this platform before, and honestly, I am not a fan. We would use it in one of my old classes to answer questions we had no idea the answer to because the class was very weird and confusing. However, haven't seen it used like we use it now in my Esoc class. Now, I read a passage or two and answer questions that help me reflect on what I just read. This is very useful for me and makes it easier to retain information. I also find this subject much more interesting than the last class I used TopHat in, so I most likely pay more attention as well. One thing we read about was Civil Inattention. This is the "cultural norm whereby strangers who are in close proximity refrain from imposing on each other, staying out of one another's business to respect privacy and personal boundaries." I never knew there was a name for such a thing. I feel as humans, if we choose to
