Ethics Statement

In this course, I will make sure that I follow the rules of ethics. I will obey laws and give credit where it is due. I will cite anything that is not mine correctly using either MLA or APA. I will make sure that if I am sharing any outside information, that it is applicable to the course and not discriminatory in any way. I will make sure to pay for anything that is not mine if I choose to use something such as music or video clips that I do not own in my videos. However, I would like to use all of my own materials for this course. Meaning, I will not be using video clips or photographs that are not mine for my own storytelling purposes. I would also like to try to not use music in my videos, but I know that this might be unavoidable, as in some cases music might be needed to fill spaces where I am not talking. In that case though, I will make sure to find and purchase royalty free music to use. I will protect others privacy by not sharing information about them that they are not comfortable with me sharing. If I use people other than myself in my videos, I will make sure to get their permission before sharing to ensure that their rights are not being infringed upon. The platforms I will be using to post on this semester are Blogger and YouTube, so please use caution when viewing my posts as these platforms are owned by Google, who is known to use people’s data without their consent.
