Blog Question 2
Ethics- What is morally right and correct.
Aesthetics- What looks right and correct to the eye.
Our society seems to find it is acceptable to alter an image if you have the person's permission or if it is for entertainment purpose. People find it alright to alter an image of say a model in a magazine or a family photo if they have the permission of the person and if they are making it more aesthetically pleasing.
Our society seems to find it unacceptable to alter an image if it is in the news or for factual information. If a person is using the information to learn something or to be informed of something then it is not acceptable to alter an image because then the person who altered the image is expressing something untrue. It is also not acceptable to alter an image if you do not have permission from the subject or if you are being rude or cruel to the subject by manipulating the image.
