Ethics in the Media

Using the 'Holocaust' Metaphor

1. An animal treatment organization called the 'PETA' launched a campaign in 2003. The campaign was called “Holocaust on Your Plate,” it practically compared the slaughter of animals for human use to the murder of 6 million Jews in WWII. The Central Council of Jews in Germany sued PETA in 2004 for the campaign, and in 2009, the German Supreme Court banned the images from the country.

2. I understand the message that they where trying to convey, but I feel that comparing that situation with animals to something so intense is simply unjust. They honestly could've approached the situation in a more realistic manner. The message that they were trying to get out was understandable, but it isn't fair to compare a situation with animals to a war. The US handled the situation well but I think both sides overreacted. 

Offensive Images

1. Cartoon representations of the Prophet Muhammad didn't cause much trouble during 2005. But during 2006, Muslim leaders began to call attention to these certain caricatures causing a riot thought the islamic world.  People ended being burned and killed because of this. 

2. Cartoons are technically a form of art. I understand being offended over art. But harming others because of a simple illustration is simply unjust. People always make fun of others through cartoons and art, just accept it and move on. I think the US handled the situation well but I think both sides overreacted. 

A Suspect "Confession" 

1. During August in Bandkok Thailand, a man named John Mark Karr, who is 41 years old, claimed to arrest himself. He confessed to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, who had been beaten and strangled to death in the basement of her Boulder, Colorado, home sometime during Christmas night 1996. A journalism ended up reporting him for wrongly implying his daughters death and child pornography. 

2. I don't understand why he would randomly frame himself for a crime he didn't even commit. I'm glad he was arrested anyway, but it just doesn't seem all that necessary to do that anyway because the outcomes are going to be the same for him wether or not he actually murdered that person. I think they handled the situation pretty well.
