Although the children in Figure 14.10 and the child in Figure 14.11 are raising money for the same cause, I believe the poster, which includes the different pictures of people suffering from the Haiti earthquake, that’s being used in the first figure is more effective than the bake sale poster. The reason for my beliefs is because I am physically able to see how and why the many different victims in Haiti are suffering and need money to survive. Also, since the pictures are from a newspaper, the article/picture headings help reveal the amount of people in need, which would make an impact on how much money I would give to help. To answer one of the questions asked, I do feel it’s acceptable to use graphic representations of the affected countries and it’s residents, simply because a larger amount of people tend to give more to help out the needy.
One’s position in the world does have an impact on how they may feel about identity, society, and culture. For example, children living in poorer countries may feel that society as a whole is negative simply because of how they’re being treated or what they’re limited to do, see, and say in everyday life. Also, since they aren’t exposed to other countries and different people, they aren’t able to experience different cultures, leading them to believe that everyone in the world is the same and has the same beliefs.
A positive result of people living in poor countries is that they tend to be more appreciative of the little things in life. They appreciate what’s given to them when being given to. They appreciate life (being alive) as a whole, unlike some Americans or residents of wealthy countries do. We take things for granted and expect to live daily. Spoiled is what most people call it. And I agree.
