__What is animation?__
//Definition:// Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement



__**Application in today’s society**__
Animation is present in basically every thing we watch, whether it be in movies, TV shows or even advertisement, without the watcher even knowing. It allows us to create everything the mind can think of; this could be from huge battle scenes in a movie to a monkey crossed with a squirrel. Animation can be created to look as realistic as possible or as cartoony as wanted.



__**Typical End-user**__ As animation is present in most of the media we are faced with each day, and end-user can be absolutely anyone!

Another great thing about animation is that you do not need to be professionally trained to make an animation. To make a simple animation you can just use PowerPoint, make a flip book or learn the basics of flash.

__**How They Use it**__ Animation is used though programs which mimic the movement of living things and also bring life to things that may not exist or are not meant to “Live”

Animation can be classified as simulation as it is used to create a "being" that acts the way it should following the laws of physics. It is moved in a way that seem very natural to humans, so is "simulating" how this creature should be acting if it were on earth or how it does act and move in real life.



Ethical Issues There are not many ethical issues involved with animation. The main ethical issue would involve copyright and poeple using or stealing a concept or animation, or using it without permission.
