Ortho/Meta/Para Directors

What's this ortho/meta/para business you've been hearing so much about? Why is benzene ruining your life? Don't worry, 16 minutes or so from now it will all make sense. From directing groups to activating and deactivating groups. It has to do with electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups.
