Assignment #2. Questions 4 and 5

Briana Cox

4. I personally plan on focusing my time and energy on taking high quality video footage and pictures from the farms and farmer's market. I will also help write and ask in depth and interesting questions to the farmers to make our interviews fun to watch and captivating.

5. The four university studies goals fit into this project nicely. The goals are communication, critical thinking, ethics, and the diversity of the human experience. Our project will encapsulate communication by requiring our group to stay in touch with each other, but also because our project is focused on communicating with consumers about the produce that they buy. Critical thinking is important in this project because it will help us write interesting questions and to get in depth about the reasons some people don't care where their food comes from and hopefully what we can do to change their minds. Ethics are important to this project because we are working on a project that will promote and encourage people to buy their food more ethically. The food from the farmers at the farmer's market is organic and their farming techniques help to cut down on pollution by not using chemical fertilizers etc. Our project is designed to help promote consumers to buy from people who are ethically conscious of their environmental impact. Our project reflects the goal of the diversity of the human experience by having us interview and see what is special about many different farms. This will let people have an inside look at where their food is being grown and by whom.
