There are two purposes for this assignment. One, you will evaluate "freedom of speech" in our current world and two, you will learn to use a video editing tool to combine multiple media. The later may be helpful if you need to combine different aspects of your final project.

Instructions

• A soldier in the U.S. Army, Bradley Manning, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking material to "Wikileaks."
• A former Navy Seal, under the pen name, Mark Owen, wrote the book,No Easy Day, that detailed the Bin Laden raid.
• Purported Russian hacks during the election and material leaking to "Wikileaks."
• Recent purported hacks of the CIA and materialleaking to "Wikileaks." Does the motivation matter?
• Purported leaks from the State Department or from inside the White House during the current administration. Does it make a difference if the leaks are exposing some sort of corruption or in case of WH leaks are friends of the President and leak in an effort to help him?
• University of North Carolina cheating scandal: An academic counselor, Mary Willingham, was a whistleblower who in spite of great pressure from administrators at the school and the loss of her job, confirmed and helped expose one of the largest academic cheating scandal.

choose two or three of the above or grab another hack or whistleblowing event from the news and identify whether each of these leaks or whistleblowing is ethical or not ethical. You may believe they are all ethical, none are ethical or some are more ethical than others. Consider all sides when evaluating. Be sure to give a sentence or two on why the activity is ethical or not ethical.
