research paper

I found the research paper to be pretty intriguing. I chose the Beyond The Fire website and I learned a lot about the extreme hardships and life-changing problems that innocent people face in war-torn countries. The design was actually really well done and it engaged you as one of the audience with its incredible interactivity. I felt like it combined style and function well and it really connected you to the teenagers as you had to click images of passports or their faces to learn more about their background and life. The design of having the teenagers all over the globe and representing their countries really gives you scope of the impact that war has on people. I hope that younger students that visit the site really come away understanding the impact that war had or has on these kids and that they learn to appreciate the simple things like having a roof over your head and food on the table.
