Summary
After studying the Age of Industrial Revolution, students research and study how modern industrial and pollution problems in China are a legacy of that revolution. Then using software of their choice, students create “video reflections.” These video “essays” address pollution as seen today, the changing relationship of producer and consumer, the ethical dilemmas progress can bring to mankind, or the incentives for consumers to deliberately purchase handcrafted items over mass produced items.
