A lot of young people, mostly female, suffer from low self-esteem because they cannot live up to the standards of a woman who isn’t even real. Social media is taking over today’s teens. This is the only way they communicate and this is what a lot of their lives consist of. Social media is the cause of low self-esteem and low self-confidence because of the

The photo was taken in the midst of a protest which adds dramatic effect, the people in the photo show pain and the people not pictured make them a faceless foe and the lack of colors in the picture helps send a powerful message. As I look at this picture I feel bad for the hard times that these people

The body that supported such a face stood as the foundation for fame and the force driving the photos. Measuring five-feet six inches from her blond head to her trendy shoed toes, she was lanky. At only ninety-one pounds, the long limbs were nothing but flesh and bone. Knobby knees and jutting elbows made graceful movements angular. Flat. No breasts

The picture of Medusa’s head screaming on the headboard is a silent scream filled with anger and pain, yet it cannot be heard.

across some type of advertisement, wither it be watching television, seeing billboards, reading magazines, or listening to the radio. These advertisements all instill into people’s heads, what they are is not good enough.

Speech is not just someone’s written or voiced opinions but it is also the way that person tries to express his or her ideas or believes using other meanings. Gestures, signs, paintings, photos, etc…are different forms of speech. Our government guarantees free speech but not that anyone can make speech at any time, at any place, and talk about anything.

The picture I keep right beside my new York picture is an army photo. A photo of one of my buddies out in the field gun by his side. This picture gives me a completely different feeling. A feeling of appreciation for the solders that are fighting for our country at this point in time. Every parent or friend with a picture
