Conflicting Perspectives
What does it mean?
When reflecting/researching related materials
keep the following ideas in mind:
• The ideas that are conveyed through the
representation of the conflicting perspectives.
• How conflicting perspectives are represented
through an event, personality and/or situation.
• How the act of representation – the form,
medium of production and language - is shaped
by the experiences, purpose and perspective of
the composer.
Dot point #1: The ideas that are conveyed through the
representation of the conflicting perspectives.
This concept reflects on the
premise that we as the
audience have a
perspective (or in fact
several perspectives) on an
idea/value/attitude that is
important to us.
As an audience – a
reader/viewer – we are
presented with various
different/diverse
perspectives.
How our understanding be
further shaped/reshaped/altered/changed.
Let’s consider an idea (for
example, EDUCATION).
EVERYONE has thoughts on this
issue.
Reflect on how there are various
conflicting representations.
Activity: Write down what YOU
believe is the purpose of
EDUCATION.
Reflect on the viewing stimulus
provided on the next slide.
Has your perspective been reshaped/altered/changed?

Australian Story V
Mike Carlton
Australian Story (ABC) recently
presented (May 2013) a story
on 2GB presenter Ray Hadley.
Mike Carlton (former colleague
and SMH journalist) was
interviewed as a part of the
piece.
The following day, Carlton wrote
a reply to what he believed was
the deliberate manipulation and
editing of his interview by the
ABC to present Hadley in a way
that he disagreed with.

Hadley from Australian Story.

Dot point #2: How conflicting perspectives are
represented through an event, personality and/or
situation.
The public V public debate
Many of the essays set for study in
the Justice Game reflect the debate of
what is in the interest of the public
and what should remain private.
Activity: View the pieces from Media
Watch (ABC) provided here.
Reflect on the following:
 What is in the interest of the public?
 Who sets the standards/benchmarks
for this?
 What are the ethical/moral
standards?
 What should be private?
 What is defined as an invasion of
privacy?
 What are the motivations for
publishing details of an event,
personality and/or situation?

The Chaser’s War on Everything
Composers may parody and/or
satire as way of making their
audience question a
perspective/idea/value/
attitude. But when is too much,
TOO much?
Consider The Chaser’s War on
Everything. Known for ‘pushing
the envelope’ what were the
conflicting perspectives about
the following TWO headlines?:
• APEC stunt – crossing into the
‘red zone’
• Make a Realistic Wish
Foundation – childhood
