I actually do believe I am living in "bad faith", but not taken over by it. I have certain blinders on in my life such as the need to please people like my mother and my family.

Film is known as a visual art and the most important art form of the twentieth century. Fashion designing is the  art of applying design, aesthetics and natural beauty to clothing and i...

The photograph is shown in a rural area with a vulture watching a child who is starving for food due to malnutrition. Yes there is color to the photograph. The subject in the photograph is a vulture specifically watching a young child bending over in a rural area. The photographer did not help the child because it is said those children carry diseases. So the photographer instead stood there watching the vulture. The subject matter was spontaneous explained in the context of the photograph. The photograph did have an emotional impact when I first saw it. Some of the emotions that triggered me when I saw the picture were sadness, grief, and shockingly full of silence. The emotional response that the photographer was most likely trying to invoke was sympathy for the starving child. The photographer did not match my emotional reaction. I believe that the photographer was trying to make a statement because the concept or idea that was trying to be portrayed was should you or should yo...
