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.
