June 1963  
Buddhist monk burned himself at the intersection at Saigon. Attempting to fight oppression on equal terms. 
A form of protest against the South Vietnamese Diems regime and pro catholic policies and discriminatory buddhist laws. 

The global issue is essentially oppression and discrimination in the context of religion. This was a response to the burning of the buddhist flag. It was an act of self-immolation. 

Correspondents were told an event was going to take place, most reporters ignored it, however some reporters made it to the scene and the event was then published and mass attention was brought to the issue.  Malcom Browne was the only photographer which indicates the lack of attention given to the Buddhist community even when they informed reporters that something was going to take place. As described by Browne, the monk sat in silence, he did not once yell or scream out in pain. This could imply the oppression they felt and the burning fire could symbolise their protest against it.

By April 2004, 700 US troops had been killed in Iraq. US Government had banned taking images of coffins, so no one ever saw these coffins. This photo was taken by Tami Silicio, who was deeply moved by the large number of coffins being transported. Through a chain of events, her photo, with her permission, was uploaded to the Seattle Times, and she was immediately fired. 
This was done because most people felt that this was a disrespect to the families of the victims. But also, some people felt that this shouldn't be kept secret, because people want to pay their respects as well.

This is related to the field of inquiry power, politics and justice, as there were many debates about whether this was a good idea or not. She faced a lot of back-lash, but also support, and this became more political than personal. This is further related to respect and morals in society, as we need to respect our soldiers, because they are always protecting us. Even here, we seldom pay respect to our soldiers on the border which is very disgraceful.]]> 2020-08-31 06:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708145790 Gorilla in the Congo malavikanair0328 https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708146412 Photographer Brent Stirton -  2007
http://100photos.time.com/photos/brent-stirton-gorilla-congo#photograph

Senkwekwe the silverback mountain gorilla, was an animal who weight about 500 pounds. The picture taken by Mr Stirton portrays the wounded large gorilla being carried away by a dozen men in the Africa. Senkwekwe along with the other world's critically endangered mountain gorillas live, these gorillas were shot dead and were part of the violent crime which engulfed the park. 
This photo represents how when a conflict rose in Central Africa it was not only the humans who got involved in its cross fire but also the environment and the animal inhabitants were also equal victims to this disaster. This photo explores the relationship between humans and the environment we reside in.  Furthermore, the photo relates how conflict has become inextricably intertwined with the peace of humans and environment. The conflict risen could be rooted from political fields and causes harm to human rights and animal rights in Central Africa. ]]> 2020-08-31 06:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708146412 Starving Child and Vulture shriyamyneni https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708148086 http://100photos.time.com/photos/kevin-carter-starving-child-vulture
Clicked by Kevin Carter in 1993. Kevin Carter was a member of the Bang-Bang club, a group of photographers who chronicled apartheid-­era South Africa.  

The picture depicts an emaciated child who collapsed on their way to the feeding center in Sudan. This picture was taken at the time when a famine was caused mostly due to human rights abuse and the war in Sudan. While Carter was clicking the picture, a vulture landed nearby. Carter won the the Pulitzer Award for this photograph in 1994 and took his own life four months after winning the prize due to the tragedy that he witnessed.  The photograph depicts death as the vulture symbolizes destruction and decay (the vulture is waiting for the child to die). 

The global issue is predominantly about famine, and the subsequent malnourishment of the children living there. Millions around the world are facing starvation in countries gripped by conflict and drought. Since Sudan was also facing a famine which was caused due to war, this can be seen as a global issue. In famine-affected areas, millions of people are malnourished and in desperate need of food and water. Today, the world still experiences famines. About 30 million people are experiencing alarming hunger, severe levels of food insecurity and malnutrition in places such as north-eastern Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. ]]> 2020-08-31 06:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708148086 The Vanishing Race https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708149798 Aditya

Edward S. Curtis posted a photo in 1904 which shows American colonizers travelling on horses. These colonizers were conquering land by dominating the Native Americans who were initially habituated in these lands. As these colonizers pushed the tribes away, the Native Americans had nowhere to go. This led to Native Americans to "vanish", hence the "Vanishing Race". 
The global issue depicted in this photo is colonization. As Americans colonized native areas, Native Americans were pushed from their homes, leaving them homeless and desperate, causing them to, unfortunately, die off. ]]> 2020-08-31 06:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708149798 North Korea https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708150206 Bhakti:

North Korea has been known for its secrecy and isolation from the rest of the world. Like most other fields, as technology has increased so has the transparency. In early 2013, North Korea allowed international tourists to have a 3G internet connection. This was one of the first pictures taken by the renowned photographer, David Guttenfulder on an iPhone. However, citizens in North Korea still don't have similar access. This limits their liberty and violates their basic human rights. At present, most of what we know about North Korea is what the government wishes the world to know, whereas pictures like these show the other side of the story. This picture is a woman explaining a map, presumably in a museum or tourist attraction. This representation of a "normal life" is largely missing in most Korean media. ]]> 2020-08-31 06:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708150206 The situation room https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708150870 Vedant Juneja:

 On May 1, 2011, Pete Souza was inside the Situation Room as U.S. on that day forces raided Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound and killed the terrorist leader. The picture includes those watching the secret operation in real time. President Barack Obama made the decision to launch the attack, but like everyone else in the room, he is a mere spectator to its execution. He stares, brow furrowed, at the raid unfolding on monitors. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton covers her mouth, waiting to see its outcome.

The president Barack Obama takes a stand against Terrorism as a global issue as it affects all regions and continents of the world. An estimated 25,673 persons lost their life to terrorist attacks in 2016. This was the revenge against the masterminding of the September 11 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 and prompted the United States to initiate the War in return. Being the world's most strongest country played a role when taking the decision to execute Osama bin Ladin as he became a global threat!

The same day of the picture clicked, In a national address that evening from the White House, Obama announced that bin Laden had been killed. Photographs of the dead body have never been released, leaving Souza’s photo and the tension it captured as the only public image of the moment the war on terror notched its most important victory. This assassination also help the world unite against terrorism.

During the 9/11 incident  on September 11, 2001 a picture of the falling man was captured by Richard Drew. This event was horrifying not only for the people who were unfortunately victims, but also the people around the world trade center towers; the neighboring buildings, the streets, the families of the people dead and hurt. 

While analyzing the photograph, the man does not seem to be terrified of the situation around him, rather he is relaxed. His left leg is bent, his hands are on his side in a very casual manner. Comparing him to the other people who were victims to this tragic incident, jumped out of the building although were seemed to be struggling and confused with shoes falling out, and a few were shirtless. The falling man is almost acting rebellious as can be seen through his posture in the photograph. The photograph depicts a sense of freedom which the man gained after jumping out of the window; he decided to get on with the idea of death due to the chaotic and horror environment present around. 

Furthermore, the picture of the falling man is not just about the incident or the pain and suffering of the people but more as to what he became: "A makeshift Unknown Soldier in an often unknown and uncertain war, suspended forever in history." (100 photos). This incident falls under the global issue of conflicts between different countries, through which there are wars, resulting in deaths of a huge number of people, and, random, unaware attacks on the society, such as the 9/11.  Due to the different issues present between countries, politically, it causes harm to the society or the community of the countries. A numerous amount of people gave their lives in the tragic incident, when it wan not their fault, adding on, their families suffered, not knowing whether their loved one is going to make it home that night. 

Foregoing to that, it can also be said that this is almost as it if were a war. Another global issue, which leads to millions losing their lives. ]]> 2020-08-31 07:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708160497 The Death of Neda https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708162988 Shruti Kumari:

Neda Agha-Soltan, a 26 year old who unlikely became a viral icon. Stepped out of her car on the Tehran street where Iranians were  massing against the  re- election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The republic was facing the worst unrest since the 1979 revolution.  The text includes a photo of the girl covered in blood, a bullet was stuck into her chest because of which she couldn't survive, however most people indulged in saving the 26 year old, whereas the others focused cameras on the tragedy. 

Within hours, the footages were floated on various social media platforms. Due to which the picture later become viral and a symbol of protest by the Iranians. It also came into the attention of the president of United states. This clearly portrays how social media not only connects people but it could also pry open one of the most robust regimes. It also portrays how social media has a great influence on todays generation.

The text mainly portrays the struggles of innocent people in Iran. No one was charged for the death of Neda hence people on the internet and in the country came into protest to free Iran. However it was very unethical for her picture to circulated through the world wide platform, because of which this also resulted in undertaking ones privacy. ]]> 2020-08-31 07:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708162988 Iraqi Girl at Checkpoint https://padlet.com/shrishtys/jt51izm4uaxd1z77/wish/708170091 Arjun Makadia

Tommie Smith and John Carlos ascended the medal stand at the 1968 Games in Mexico City, they wanted to change  illusion that all was right in the world. just before the national anthem of USA "The Star-Spangled Banner" played smith who won the gold medal and Carlos who won the bronze medal  bowed their heads and raised black-gloved fists in the air.They were trying to send a message to the world saying "Before we salute America, America must treat blacks as equal"  The global issue is which is shown is racism because the two athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos were raising there hand right before the American National Anthem which was a message to the world showing that racism is an issue to be addressed.

This picture was taken by Pete Souza, so this picture was taken in the situation room. On that day U.S army was behind Osama Bin LAdin in Pakistan so that they can kill him, as we all know Osama Bin was the gang leader of the pan-Islamic militant organization. In this picuter we can see the people who are watching the sergical strike live in that situation room. Osama bin ladin did booming in US which made Barack Obama to take decision to take him down. The global issue which is highlighted is misuse of power and Terrosim as we all known this sergical strike was because the things which he did on Sept and many other booming's, because of which more than 1000 people lost their lives. So this picture can fall under terrosim, and for miss use of power from Osama Bin Ladin side, actually he was not only targeting US but also few other countries. So he was having the man power and he was misusing that power for doing wrong things like the bombing many countries, supplying illegal weapons and many other. On that same day it was announced that Osman has been killed. By looking at the picture we can surely tell about the tension which might be faced by the people inside that situation room.

Defeated in WW1, Germany was out for retribution. The mistake was the earlier government's however, the general public had to pay for the government's mistakes. Out of the unfair reparations that Germany(one of the central powers) had to pay the allied powers unfair amounts of money, and had most of its physical resources drained by the allied powers. Due to the unfair consequences, they were bloodthirsty and perhaps even maddened by these events.
The Global Issue is the oppression of millions of women, children. The death of almost 15% of the population. The issue I am trying to state is the hardships people go through because of war. The Treaty of Versailles didn’t just blame Germany for the war — it demanded financial restitution for the whole thing, to the tune of 132 billion gold marks, or about $269 billion today. It took the country 92 YEARS to pay off their debt. Due to the general public being saddened by this incident and other than the aristocratic wealthy individuals thriving, it was in their mind that their country deserved retribution. Were the public really wrong not to give in to the ways of someone who promised a better future for them? Hitler also overthrew Hindenburg and became a dictator, damning the country into another world war and doomed the economy. It took a lot of time for the economy to stabilize. The country needed a lot of time to reconstruct their economy and the government had to work hard to regain the public's trust and gain international stability with the nations and the United Nations.

This photograph was taken at a time when capitalism was at an all time high in the United States. Although the ideology represents free will and opportunity, it inevitably leads to a major wage gap between the elite and the working class. The economy, politics and world was technically run by the rich strata, but what was not shown about them is the thousands of workers that were building the floor under them, walls around them and ceilings above them. Although each of these workers don't have as much power individually, they are the backbone of society and the economy as a whole. This photo, although a very simple one, provides a new perspective to the whole situation. It demonstrates these very blue collared workers sitting on a  metal beam hundreds of metres above Manhattan. When you view the photo, there is a magnitude of danger to it; as if they lose balance, it leads to immediate death. Still, those people are these, carefree, taking a break from their work and toil, not even realizing the inherent power they have over the whole city, where, if they unite, they can control the whole city.
This is the power of the working class, and how a certain aspect of communism seeps into every capitalist society, how nothing can be taken at an extremity. The concerns of the blue collar worker is taken as a whim, and no heed is given to it. This is depicted in art forms throughout history, especially is right leaning governments- western Europe, their colonies. The very people who are ostracized and struggle to bring bread to their family's table have much more power than you expect them to.
