Image analisys 2

The image I chose represents a forest whose trees are being fastly consumed in a prairie. But, what makes this image so interesting is the fact that the forest is lung-shaped. Then what tells us is that irresponsible industrialism is consuming not just our resources but our ability to breath. Trees are responsible of oxigenating the Earth and then they have an importan biological role, but the image goes further as it may allude to the fact that greed is taking the best of us and is actually avoiding us from living. Trees are our lungs and give us life, by destroying them we are doing nothing but... destroying ourselves.

In other words,the message the image is trying to give is related to Global Warming and how it is affecting wildlife. It is a more superficial analysis of the values involved but, it is important to be taken in account. As after all, this is part of a Greenpeace propaganda and its main target is enviromenal issues.

Image analysis

What I firtly notice about the picture is a large numer of people happily gathered in a non-existing place that resembles eternity, which is related to the emotions the image is portraying. All the people are different ethnically speaking, which may allow us to state they are highly tolerant, as they do not mind these differences when meeting others. Colour then plays an important role as they are all dressed alike in terms plain colours and disings that highlights their skin colour. It is important to notice that older people stands in the front and in the middle of the group, and people around become younger. This can lead us to think that old people are the basis on which generations acquire knowledge about being tolerant and respectful towards others. However, eugenics try to break this differenciation in order to "improve" racial qualities, generally based on a government ideals about it. As it was intended during World War II, population was cleaned so then there was just a pure race that was worth to preserve: Arian race. Therefore, this picture tell us that we have to be tolerant and open-minded so then we become happier in our social interactions. Eugenics restrict our chances of getting along with others and then our possibility of bein fully happy.
