4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?

     It is not because it isn't right to completely change what a person looks like just to fit the stereotypical idea of beauty. 

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?


     I would be more ethnically wrong if the model was unaware of the changes made to her body.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

    
 I think that it is ok to brighten up the person's face and get rid of any blemishes that the model might not want to have.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.


     Fashion photography is a much more made up and distorted version of the real world while photojournalism is a more realistic insight to everyday life.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

     Fashion photography is a fake version of life because everyone and everything is altered to fit a stereotypical point of view, which is not ethnically acceptable. But, photojournalism portrays reality in an ethnically acceptable and true way.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?


    I think that you want to show us how easy it is to change someone's appearance and how ethnically wrong it is to portray a fake version of someone.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???


    I think that there are none of guys because girls worry more about their appearance and have an image of beauty that they try to achieve.
