This picture was extremely interesting to me. It shows that here in america many women look at women who wear vials and feel bad for them. They believe that they are being completely forced into dressing a certain way because of the males in their society. On the other hand, the women who is wearing the vial feels bad for the women without much clothes on. She sees that society forces her to wear hardly anything.
As we talked about in class, in our society women are asked to be extremely skinny in order to be beautiful. Also a lack of clothing on a skinny girl makes it all the better. After reading Playing with Fire we started to see a new view on lives that we could not ever imagine.
In conclusion I feel that this image could be used in a lot of issues we talked about in class. It is pretty self explanatory and shows a lot from this one little comic strip.
I love this picture! I agree that perspective is everything, and you can always look at something from another point of view. When you do, you see a totally different scenario than the one you were seeing before. Always remember to see the same situation or controversy from another person's point of view, it will help you grow and realize why you think a certain way to begin with.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have ever seen this and the first time I ever really thought about this specific perspective. I see women here in America wearing veils and covering up and think "that is completely their choice here", but when I see pictures of women in Islamic dominated countries or where veiling is very very common, I, unfortunately, always get a sense of misfortune first before I get the chance to think about the womens choice in the matter. I hate that I have been socially programmed to think misfortune first over perspective.
