Politics Group Project Ideas

For the large group dealing with political issues, we have decided to break into two smaller groups while still working together as a whole. The first group, "Reality," is going to research the embargo and supply chain issues of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, focusing more on the facts and what is actually going on in reality. The second group, "Representation," is going to analyze how the embargo/supply issue is represented, whether through the media, through leaders of Arab countries, by the international community, etc. Honestly, I am not too familiar with this issue so I do not really have any specific ideas on what individual topics should focus upon.

I think the first thing we're going to need to do is to make sure all of our group members are on the same page in terms of understanding the issue on a general level, before we are able to pick more specific, individual topics. A few questions/issues: I'm not exactly sure to what extent the two groups will be working together, and I think we need to make sure that the "reality" group doesn't have too narrow of a focus, and that the "representation" group doesn't have too broad of a focus.
