The document summarizes how photography and new media have enabled positive social change through citizen documentation of protests and revolutions. It discusses how camera phones and social media have democratized image production, allowing everyday people to capture and share events in real-time on a global scale. This new citizen journalism challenges official narratives and gives voice to marginalized groups. The rise of camera phones and platforms like Facebook and Flickr have made documenting dissent ubiquitous, helping communicate grassroots perspectives and hold governments accountable.
Photography styles discussed include photojournalism which captures real life without artist influence, landscapes and portraits which portray the artist's vision of people and places, found objects which communicate something about the environment through everyday items, juxtaposition which creates new relationships by combining uncommon objects, tableaus where the artist sets up and photographs a scene, and narratives/performance which tell a story through imagery. The document discusses different photography artists and their works and asks the reader to consider the tone, message, and how they would communicate through their own photographic style.
This document provides an overview of the photographic process and discusses key photographers, file formats, and editing software.

A farmer owed a large debt to an ugly old man that would result in debtor's prison if not repaid. With a bad harvest, the farmer could not pay. The old man proposed marrying his beautiful daughter to cancel the debt. She was given a bag with two pebbles, one black and one white. If she picked black, she must marry; white cancels the debt. However, the old man secretly put two black pebbles in the bag. The clever daughter pretended to drop her pebble in the road, then removed the other pebble to reveal the old man's deception and find a solution without marrying him or imprisoning her father.
The document contains rare photos from the Third Reich preserved by Life magazine, including images of top Nazi leaders such as Heinrich Himmler, Hermann Goering, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart.

Additional images show celebrations for Hitler's 50th birthday and the burned remains of Berlin after Allied bombing in 1945, including the destroyed Gestapo headquarters.
The document discusses the severe pollution of the Citarum river in Indonesia, describing it as the dirtiest river in the world. It questions how many fish will die and how people can live on Earth while treating it so poorly, contaminating the ocean and putting more lives at risk tomorrow. It suggests international pressure could help address the issue.
The document provides reasons for golf's growing popularity compared to other sports such as football and baseball. It notes that golf is seen as a more honorable sport where players are not in legal trouble, do not argue with referees, and are paid based on performance. It also points out that golf tournaments provide a nicer spectator experience where food and drinks are cheaper and cursing is less common. The document concludes with a humorous explanation for the traditional 18 holes in a round of golf.
The professor used a parable about guests choosing cups for hot chocolate to illustrate that people focus too much on superficial things like jobs and social status rather than what really matters in life. He explained that the cup does not change the quality of life, which is represented by the hot chocolate. People should make the best of what they have and not envy others for nicer cups. The happiest people appreciate what they have rather than wanting more.

A logging truck driver attempted to secure logs on his truck but accidentally hooked a 7.2 kilovolt power line instead, causing the truck's tires to quickly burn up. The driver was lucky to escape without injury as touching the energized line could have easily electrocuted him. The summary emphasizes the need to identify hazards like power lines at worksites to avoid dangerous incidents.

The narrator asked a genie in a lamp for various things like food, water, money, a house, transportation, flowers, and a laughing monkey out of boredom. The genie fulfilled each request, granting delicious meals, clear water, immense fortune, a castle home, a large car, a splendid garden, and an email address by mistake instead of a monkey. The narrator felt embarrassed for overburdening the genie with requests.
