Clearly defined area, context matters in discussion of ethics: not blackfish in a vacuum

Ethicalness of the subjects it discusses

Very good space to start looking at a thesis ground your essay in the text

Cretaed a conversation between sources which might not include my voice

Need to insert myself and my own nuance into the discussion

Great sources introduced well, finding my argument in there a bit more

Stylistically I tend to be indirect, function of unsureness (at some points reading a science paper)

Rely heavily on sources to speak for me (need to get my own voice in there)
What does this mean to the average joe? So what? About quotes

Introduction of definition and sources, seems bombarded by voices and need some
signposting and orientation in terms of my own environment

Have some redundant quotes (?) in order to set up my argument instead of theirs

Going off that, one way to argue more directly was to use the film a lot more

Unethical acquisition of scenes discuss the ethics of the scenes themselves

Higher truth should be in the first paragraph “problematizes higher truth”

What is the higher truth? Should balance out lengthwise

THESIS: what aspect of the film are you focusing on?

Quote before thesis leaves itself open to refutation rejection loss of truth could tie in to
the higher truth bit

Problematize higher truth: truth is some absolute thing but this suggests there is a hierarchy or
truth or an order? What does that mean for doc eth?

[6] Unethical “definitely an” does a person claiming that something happened but didn’t
happen to them then is it less ethical because the footage still exists (wow)

Re: script, script is accurate so can use it but make sure to check with film- danger of losing
context with framing/music/jux/etc.

Idea of higher truth and how its complicated by ethics

More about blackfish
Source: rhetoric in docs, always about the voice – audible instead of visual and how this
is now complicated

Ethics of using rhetoric – extends beyond words

Claim about blackfish and rhetoric and how it complicates the notion of higher truth in doc ethics

Technical formatting thing: wrong source!

Check bibliography because it’s wrong
