Case+Human+Condition

We should always try to help people no matter what. If you were in trouble would you want help?

This photo is a great example of my thesis. This photo shows how a woman goes out of her way to take care of a sick and injured protestor in Yemen. She is now the caretaker of this young man. This photo was taken by Samuel Aranda in 2011. He was in Yemen taking pictures for the New York Times. The societal context made this the World Press Photo Contest of the year, out of 101,254. After Aranda found out he won he said,” What I would really like is for this photo to help the people of Yemen.” Samuel Aranda used pathos to show the pain this man was in, and the graciousness of the woman to help no matter what.

Song: [] “The Message” by Coldplay really displays the concept of helping one another. This song was made in 2010 for the Haiti disaster. The song’s lyrics give the meaning of the song. It talks about how you heart is made of stone and you can withstand anything. It talks about extending the love from one to another. The society really contributed to this song. It made this song into an album with other artists for people to buy to contribute to Haiti. The ethos appeal was strong with this piece. It’s credibility was the Haiti impact on everyone. The Haiti disaster was a great time for your heart to be strong and to help one another out. This is also a great example to go along with my thesis.
