I picked this topic because I am interested in the internet, especially internet surveillance. I actually stand for the other side of the argument that internet censorship is bad. Pierce got this side of the argument. the reason that I chose this side was to find out if there were really any "benefits" to internet censorship. As you can see there are a few, but they are not necessarily the best benefits. I personally do not believe in this side.
For this topic in particular it was REALLY hard. Whenever you searched anything about internet censorship there would be tons of "hits" related to how bad it was and what data the NSA is collecting about you from their various internet censorship programs. In regards to staying focused on this particular topic, it was not since there was a lot more out there for the other side of the argument then there was for my side of the argument. It was a little hard to remain bias to my side since I generally lean toward the other side anyway.
I looks the way it does because internet censorship affects pretty much everyone in the world, besides a few countries. The graphics were meant to be little "tid-bits" that went around what I was able to grasp from learning about this topic and they are easy to remember and read. I made the choices because they were the best way to portray the information relating to the topic.
I feel that it is effective in convincing my audience about the topic but at the same time I feel that it could've been a little bit better if I had taken the other side of the argument or simply if there was more information out there about the benefit of internet censorship not just the negatives of it.
