Why Sources Show Different Attitudes
There are a number of reasons why sources shows different attitudes.
These may be related to the author of the source, when it was
produced, and the purpose that the source has.
Source A is a photograph of evacuees walking to a train station in
London, ready to be evacuated. The author of the source is unknown. It
was taken in September 1939, which is at the start of the war and when
people were first evacuated out of the cities to the countryside,
where they would be safer. It gives a positive attitude about the war
.This photograph illustrates most of the children looking excited and
happy as they are waving to the camera and smiling. Like in many
cases, the children in the photograph probably didn't know exactly why
they are being evacuated, and that is why they don't look upset. The
children are not walking with their parents, some of them are on their
own, probably because they have already been split up from their
parents. Some children in the picture are accompanied by an adult who
could be a parent or a minder. The picture displays that they are
accompanied by what could be a teacher as she is leading them on and
may be keeping them on the pavement; teachers were seen as a valuable
asset and so were also evacuated to the countryside and accompanied
the children. In the photograph the children are wearing tags and are
carrying gas masks, which are necessities which they would require
when being evacuated, and also some personal belongings. There is a
man in the foreground of the photograph who is wearing a suit and tie
and a hat. He may be an official from the government overseeing the

In conclusion, Sources A to F show that all the authors had different
opinions of evacuation depending on their position and views on it. As
all the sources and authors are different, they are likely to show
different attitudes, with varying degrees of positive and negative in
the sources. However, these sources only represent a small proportion
of the people that were involved in evacuation, and their views.
Essentially, evacuation was different for everyone, and this is
portrayed in the broad spread of attitudes in the 6 sources stated
above. The people that were evacuated are likely to have their
opinions of evacuation influenced by the host families that they
stayed with. We can also see from these sources that attitudes differ
depending on whether you were a child or adult at the time.

Source one demonstrates and embraces the perspective of a collectivist. The speaker of the source, Chief Seattle, a prominent leader of the Native American tribes, represents his collective point of view of how each and every one of us are connected illustrating the “web of life”. His statement indicates his primary focus of how humans are creatures that needs to be dependent on others in order to survive. This view is placed on the left side on the political spectrum with the assumptions that all people are created equal where they value the goals of the group and the common good over the individual goals and rights. The way he stated that, “whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves”, strongly expressed a collective perspective and that the actions of an individual will not only affect himself/herself, but others as well. An example would be global warming, it will not only affect the countries that create pollutions, but everyone else is also involved and affected in this issue. People may call it the ‘butterfly effect’, where it is a scientific theory that describes how one s...
