Yasumasa Morimura
The artwork Blinded by the Light (1991) by Yasumasa Morimura is an appropriation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Blind Leading the Blind (1568)
(Israel, 2005). Morimura has appropriated paintings and photographs throughout the ages, though The Blind Leading the Blind is the earliest dated
work that Morimura has appropriated (Marsh, Watts, & Maylon, 1999). Morimura super–imposes a composite self–portrait on top of Bruegel's painting,
successfully changing the meaning of the piece. The different historical contexts of the two pieces in conjunction with appropriation allow the
accumulation of ideas to present two separate meanings pertinent to the ideals of the times. Morimura's simultaneous use of the historical and religious

Post–modernism was "a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective, efforts to explain reality" (Public Broadcasting Service, n.d.). It
can be suggested that reality is something that we each create and possess individually. Morimura took a work from the late 1500's and changed it to fit
his personal intentions and interpretations. It embodies post–modernist devices, such as stereotyping, the crossing of genre, and contemporary culture
(Felluga, n.d.). By using these devices, Morimura transforms a work that could only seem applicable to the venerable and religious, to a work that
is easily recognized and applied by the general public. He transforms the work from Bruegel's reality to his own, in endeavour to resolve it. It is
thought that appropriation is unoriginal, or possess aspects of plagiarism and negligence. However, the use of appropriation to give old works new
meaning is justified in the sense that it allows the build–up and corroboration of ideas, supporting the growth and change of value systems as times and

Photography During The Civil War Essay
Photography was first used in the United States prior to the Civil War as a way of making portraits of people. Due to the limits of the technology,
each photograph was a unique image that could not be reproduced. Over time as the technology improved, photographs could be reproduced and this
art form was then used as a method of communicating and sharing images of places and themes. The use of photography during the Civil War to depict
(show) battles is one example. While the effect of photography on people's perceptions of the Civil War has been well–documented, the changes in
technology gave photography a more extensive influence on public opinion, institutions and the way people lived after the Civil War. The primary

However, by the late 1850's, the invention of the "wet plate' negative process allowed photographs to be reproduced (gilderlehrman – citation). When
the wet plate technology boomed, photography became more profitable but the work was slow and tedious. The Civil War was extensively
photographed and changed people's opinion of the war. The photographs depicted the atrocities of war and stripped away romantic views of battle
(Civil War Trust, 1). The technology allowed people from different places in the U.S. to witness the abomination of war. Mathew Brady and
Alexander Gardner were two of the most famous photographers during the Civil War. Mathew Brady also owned a gallery in Washington DC where
he displayed the photographs of others like Alexander Gardner for the public to see (Civil War Trust– Mathew Brady). Although these photographs
had a major impact on the public's perception of war, the technology was not too far advanced. Photographers had to use dangerous chemicals to create

The And Public Image Of A Woman Speaking
One of the words that may help to shine some light on to Paul's intentions is О±бј°ПѓП‡ПЃбЅёОЅ. A word meaning "disgraceful, shameful, dishonest"
or "filthy." The idea that this is a matter of shame creates some justification for considering this to be a situational issue. It seems unlikely that there
would be shame associated with a woman speaking in church in the twenty–first century. It would be far less likely to associate women preachers with
being dishonest or filthy. Thisword may hint at the nature of appearances and public image that affects the church. The issue with this that it appears to
contrast with Paul's firm stand against conforming to society. Taking 1 Tim 2:11

Concordance, the word occurs in some form over fifty times in the New Testament. One passage that may help bring some clarity to the application of
this word is its use in reference to singing as "teaching and admonishing." A man would be hard pressed to not see the difficulty in forbidding all
teaching of men. She not only could not preach a lesson, but she would be forced to remain silent during the singing lest a man learn from her singing.

Photography when it was first discovered, took many hours to develop in order to expose the film, and for this reason, many scenic views such as
mountains, gardens, trees, rain and sunshine were perfect subjects. These images captured a wide variety of elements such as colors, and the views
that they would depict. Mountains, rivers, beaches, and lakes, are all very common subjects when taking photographs of scenery. Scenic
photography is one of the most common because the main focus of the picture does not move. This form of artwork is very easy to capture, but you

When pairing manipulation and photography, the Civil War helped shape the way people see journalism today. Photography was first known about

began to change opinions, lives and even history. The Civil War showed us that a photo is worth 1,000 manipulated words and the impact of those
altered photos continue to affect present day journalism. The tip of the iceberg in photography manipulation began in 1861 when President Abraham

Moving from developing photos in the dark room to now being able to edit and alter photos with a computer has made a large difference in the
process of photoshopping. The time and precision of editing an image has advanced as society has moved into a digital age. One tool of photoshopping
in the photojournalism industry, tonal manipulation, is supported by the single idea that a photographer feels the need to alter an image to match what
they'd seen in real life ("Photoshop and Journalism | Photoshop 25th Anniversary."). With the way that cameras operate today, there isn't always an
organic depiction between what was witnessed in real life and what has shown up through the lense; therefore tonal manipulation is a justified practice.
A few main editing operations in tonal manipulation include controlling the brightness, contrast and levels of black and white coloring (Figure 5).

their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one––not just a likeness but a portrait"(Trachtenberg,

The Act Of Basking And Public Image
In 1976, Robert Cialdini and his colleagues first defined the concept of "basking in reflected glory" (BIRGing), the tendency to improve one's self– and
public image by publicly announcing one's association with another person or group (identification) who has become successful in some endeavor
(achievement) even if one is in no way the cause of the other's success or "glory". That is, the act of basking is done through association based on the
person and the successful other belonging to the same in–group, even if one does not have any personal connection or contribution to the other's
success (i.e. self–enhancement; Snibbe, Kitayama, Markus, & SuZuki, 2003).
In the original field study, Cialdini et al. (1976) observed that students (1) tended to accentuate their association with the university they attended if the
football team representing the university won in its latest match, and (2) refer to the victory as, by extension, including them (e.g. "we won").
Conversely, when the team lost, students tended to distance themselves from the team and the university by not wearing apparel that associate them
with the latter and referring to the team as a separate entity (e.g. "they lost").
Moreover, in–group identification through BIRGing can be extended to national and cultural identities, with identification based on country–level or
sociocultural in–groups (Galang, QuiГ±ones, Adriano, Portillo, & Carvajal, 2015). Indeed, to study BIRGing through a cross–cultural approach, it is

separation is to highlight the subject's ethnicity and culture. If the goal, however is to highlight culture, it seems that displaying the subject in his or
her own culture would be more effective. (Miller 135)
Irving Penn's Two New Guinea Men Holding Hands is a common example of the subject being removed from the environment. (see fig. 1) The
photograph taken in Penn's studio is in a style popular among ethnographers; it has been used for years by E.S. Curtis and has recently been refined
by Richard Avedon. The background and the studio settings have been criticized widely as "removing subjects from the daily flow of their livesВ…
and cross breeding fashion and anthropology." (Miller 135) The effect of this photograph on memory is to imprint a false image not only of two
people but also of an entire culture. Penn's image gives his viewer no idea of how these two men exist in reality. Because of the studio setting, the
viewer cannot even safely assume that this is how the two men really dress or interact with each other.
The most common association made between history and photography is not anthropology; it is the documentation of the Holocaust. Holocaust

Public Image And Customer Management Strategies
Companies of all types and sizes depend on their customer base for revenues and continuously work toward earning the largest market share percentage
attainable. The foundations of businesses are its customers, and unless that company is a monopoly, competition between businesses will drive
customers and revenues to one business or another. Unless it is properly managed, maintaining customer relationships can be expensive. While some
companies invest heavily in their public image and customer management strategies, other companies succeed despite poor customer relationships. The
wishes of the customers are also continuously evolving with new generations and social environments. Moving on from the "boomers", to the "gen x",

In his Ted talk "Millennials: Who They are & Why We Hate Them", Scott Hess discusses a number of companies, including Abercrombie and Fitch as a
company that endorsed the typically "cliquish" and judgmental characteristics associated with the "gen x". That is not surprising considering that the
company restructured in 1979 as a modern sportswear outlet (Lepore, 2011). Meanwhile, American Eagle is seen asmarketing "for everyone", looking
to attract the inclusive and tolerant characteristics of the Millennials (Hess, 2011). Perhaps even more importantly is the increasing demand for value
for the customer in a meaningful way. In its customer priority list, in addition to personal customer values, Inc includes "value that's superior to other
options" (James, 2013). Another way of looking at this particular value is in terms of global influence and impact, as well as connectedness; people
want to have a positive influence on the world. As Hess remarks, one of Starbucks' campaigns was to invest in their coffee farmers and suppliers (Hess,
2011). The impact on the consumer is the feeling that purchasing coffee at Starbucks is beneficial to other communities. Similarly, the so–called

Photographic Images Hanging On The Gallery Wall
Chapter Five
Photographic Art Images.
There are many books, fine art prints, articles in journals and magazines about architectural photography by some excellent photographers, emphasising
architecture's visual strength, design and conceptual quality, without which there would be no challenges for the photographer to attempt to capture in
the first instance. Architectural photography has an immense capacity to stimulate the wonder of the man–made world in a virtuoso manner. The
intrinsic worth of a successful work of decorative art photography is that it can open up new perceptions. Through photography buildings exude a visual
charge and imaginative possibilities beyond their everyday functions, giving the viewer an interesting and engaging ocular experience, and a visual
understanding of the world.
The picture hanging on the gallery wall leaves itself wide open to scrutiny, criticism or study but ultimately invites, with visual intrigue the aesthetic
pleasure and satisfaction, which the viewer derives from sensory involvement of the image before them.

ISIS is known for their hatred of religious and ethnic groups that do not conform to their extreme ways. Christian and the Sunni Muslims are the two
main targets for the ISIS terror attacks. Their attacks have no limits. In Beirut, a fifth–century Roman Catholic monastery was destroyed by ISIS while
in Mosul the suspected tomb of Jonah the prophet was blown up (). Also in Mosul, a mosque and shrine devoted to Prophet Jirjis was also blown up
as an act of terror. It's clear that ISIS has no specific target other than those that disagree with their platform and extreme views. They use the
destruction of images as an attempt to scare locals into subjecting to their laws. ISIS recognizes the power that these images hold on people and they
are trying to exploit that. Similarly, the government of France and Russia used images and their powers to spread propaganda. While ISIS uses the
images of destruction and violence more so than Russia and France, the similarities can be seen in the effort to control the common people. What
makes this form of iconoclasm so different is that it deviates from the "normal" iconoclasm that took place early in religious history. Early forms of

Aaron Siskind's Pleasures And Terrors Of Levitation

interpretations. The gelatin silver print, Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation, by Aaron Siskin expands on the idea ofphotography being more than just a
copy of the original, but a documentation that manipulates the emotional importance. In Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation, Aaron Siskind captures
the elegance of fear through the subject, composition and quality of light. Aaron Siskind conveys the elegance of fear through a black human figure

Although photography is made to represent reality, the feelings of reality might not be fully presented in every photograph. Susan Sontag noted that a
"photograph is not only an interpretation of the real" but also a trace or the footprint of reality. By de–contextualizing the human figure from its "real"
environment, Siskind creates a trace of reality. This manipulation allows Siskind to forge the sense of mysteriousness through the high contrast between
the background and the figure in the foreground. Additionally, this mysteriousness created by the plain and the unrecognizable background increases
the value of the photograph because curiosity is generated. Therefore, this enables the viewers to emerge with various unique interpretations of the

force that dictates to us about the facts that exist. In contrast, image as text, operates on the understanding that the world cannot be shown as it is, rather

The result is that the dystopian future becomes a realistic possibility to the audience. This has two effects, in the first it makes the events of the film

image as presence by setting up this believable world. However, in the second arena it makes the audience reflect on the questions of urbanity and
development that exist in our current paradigm, thus inviting discussion about the way human and planning elements are being merged together in
our own technology driven world. These concepts are as relevant now as they were when the film was first released two decades ago. The camera
continually roves over this world creating spatial continuity that implies that there is virtually no escape from this smoky, polluted, society. The

There are four core skills that are the foundation of the profession and these skills are: leadership, management, and the political and technical aspects
of administration. One could consider these core skills to be the foundation of public administration and the four major functions of organization,
personnel administration, decision making, and budget and finance to be the building blocks. It should be noted that having a deep understanding of
these skills in relation to the major functions of the profession is essential to the success of any public administrator.
The principles that govern public administration often have a level of reciprocity and build upon each other. One such principle is organization theory.
At it's most basic, the principle of organization theory is about structure and process, which are two things all administrators must become comfortable
with. It answers the questions of how departments should be structured, how they report and how positions and jobs relate to each other, and what
other factors should be considered. To answer those questions different schools of thought have developed as the study of public administration

Assessing Psychology 's Public Image Essay
In assessing psychology's public image, two dimensions are paramount in the issue: "popularity" (or how the public feels toward psychology and
psychologists), and "understanding" (what the public knows about psychology and what psychologists do) (Benjamin, 1986, p. 945). While overall,
psychologists are met with a moderately favorable attitude (Guest, 1948), several studies have revealed a deficiency in the knowledge of who
psychologists are and what they do (Wood et al., 1986; Wollersheim & Walsh, 1993; Lent, 1990; Cialdini, 1997; Webb & Speer, 1986; Farberman,
1997). This deficiency is the driving force behind many of the negative misperceptions that the public holds, and one cannot help but spy the tendency
of the public to doubt the mechanisms behind psychology, namely the science. Lilienfeld (2012) published an article titled "Public Skepticism of
Psychology: Why Many People Perceive the Study of Human Behavior as Unscientific." In this article, Lilienfeld suggests that, "the general public
agrees with the soft science nomenclature that is frequently applied to psychology" (Munro & Munro, 2014, p.534). He lists six common criticisms of
the scientific basis of psychology, some of which include: psychology does not use scientific methods, psychology cannot yield meaningful
generalizations because everyone is unique, and psychology is not useful in to society. An addition criticism listed is that psychology as merely

image because the addition of color would not change what the photo represents in any way. Rather, by opting to not use color, there is a serious tone
to this picture, allowing the action of the shot to speak for itself. The Burning Monk was published in the United States during the 1960's. During this

The Daguerreotype process was a good process that created a very clear portrait with great detail. However, disadvantages to the Daguerreotype
include long exposure times as well as not being able to produce multiple copies. This process was popular at the time because people who weren't
wealthy could pay to get their picture taken. The reason this was possible was because it was not patented unlike the other processes. However the
Calotype process produced paper negatives, which allowed it to be reproduced to make multiple copies. The downfall with using this process is that
produced an un–clear picture, compared to the Daguerreotype. This process was not very popular because the pictures were fuzzy and the process
was patented making it less popular, unlike the Daguerreotype. Finally the Wet Plate process toped them all. The Wet Plate process, or the
Collodian process created a very clear image with the capability of reproducing the image to make multiple copies. The only downfall with this
process is that it makes for long exposure times and it had to be developed while it was still wet. Resultantly, this process was the most popular at the

Comparison With Walton's Argument On Photography And...
1: I agree with Walton's argument on photographic realism. I interpreted his argument that the artist or photographer has a choice in how realistic
their work is and that they can be more skilled, or in the photographer's case avoid any manipulation. However, it is more difficult for a painter to
achieve this because they not only need to understand the concept of realism but also be able to perform in a manner that will allow the production of
a realistic painting. A photographer, on the contrary, needs to properly understand the functions of a camera to achieve realism. Thus, I would agree
that both a photographer and a painter can achieve realism, but a photographer is able to much easier than a painter.
______________________________________________________________________________
2: Objects present in a photograph are easily distinguishable from reality itself because the objects are not the objects themselves. Therefore, Walton
states that photographs have a distinct kind of realism. Photographs are always an image of an object that really exists and as a result, viewers are able
to see the world through photographs. However, seeing through a photograph is a different perception than seeing reality itself. When a viewer sees
through a photograph, they are literally seeing the object, but it is indirect as the viewer is not present in the actual scene to view it for themselves.
Therefore, a viewer is able to literally see an ancestor realistically that is not really present and are shown what they would have seen if they were
present for the photograph being taken. Furthermore, I agree with what Walton is saying about photography having a special realism. It is not as if the
viewer is directly seeing the scene in real life, but rather seeing the real scene as if they were present.

Rights–managed images
Rights–managed images are the way to go if you need something unique. Think national campaign and big budget. When purchasing a rights –anaged
image, the usage agreement will imply exclusivity. Because the image provider is offering you sole rights, the cost for rights–managed images tend to
be much higher than for royalty–free images. Terms generally include language limiting you to a particular print run or amount of online impressions,
however.
Royalty–free images
Not to be confused with pubic domain images, royalty–free images are those with a one–time fee, and allow usage across multiple instances and
applications. To keep costs down, the usage agreement will include very specific language concerning image size, duration, and the type of industry
the image will be used for. Think local or regional campaigns and smaller budgets. There are generally no limits to how often the image provider can

Yasumasa Morimura

  • 1. Yasumasa Morimura The artwork Blinded by the Light (1991) by Yasumasa Morimura is an appropriation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Blind Leading the Blind (1568) (Israel, 2005). Morimura has appropriated paintings and photographs throughout the ages, though The Blind Leading the Blind is the earliest dated work that Morimura has appropriated (Marsh, Watts, & Maylon, 1999). Morimura super–imposes a composite self–portrait on top of Bruegel's painting, successfully changing the meaning of the piece. The different historical contexts of the two pieces in conjunction with appropriation allow the accumulation of ideas to present two separate meanings pertinent to the ideals of the times. Morimura's simultaneous use of the historical and religious aspects of The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Post–modernism was "a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective, efforts to explain reality" (Public Broadcasting Service, n.d.). It can be suggested that reality is something that we each create and possess individually. Morimura took a work from the late 1500's and changed it to fit his personal intentions and interpretations. It embodies post–modernist devices, such as stereotyping, the crossing of genre, and contemporary culture (Felluga, n.d.). By using these devices, Morimura transforms a work that could only seem applicable to the venerable and religious, to a work that is easily recognized and applied by the general public. He transforms the work from Bruegel's reality to his own, in endeavour to resolve it. It is thought that appropriation is unoriginal, or possess aspects of plagiarism and negligence. However, the use of appropriation to give old works new meaning is justified in the sense that it allows the build–up and corroboration of ideas, supporting the growth and change of value systems as times and realities ...

  • 2. Photography During The Civil War Essay Photography was first used in the United States prior to the Civil War as a way of making portraits of people. Due to the limits of the technology, each photograph was a unique image that could not be reproduced. Over time as the technology improved, photographs could be reproduced and this art form was then used as a method of communicating and sharing images of places and themes. The use of photography during the Civil War to depict (show) battles is one example. While the effect of photography on people's perceptions of the Civil War has been well–documented, the changes in technology gave photography a more extensive influence on public opinion, institutions and the way people lived after the Civil War. The primary focus of this paper ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, by the late 1850's, the invention of the "wet plate' negative process allowed photographs to be reproduced (gilderlehrman – citation). When the wet plate technology boomed, photography became more profitable but the work was slow and tedious. The Civil War was extensively photographed and changed people's opinion of the war. The photographs depicted the atrocities of war and stripped away romantic views of battle (Civil War Trust, 1). The technology allowed people from different places in the U.S. to witness the abomination of war. Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner were two of the most famous photographers during the Civil War. Mathew Brady also owned a gallery in Washington DC where he displayed the photographs of others like Alexander Gardner for the public to see (Civil War Trust– Mathew Brady). Although these photographs had a major impact on the public's perception of war, the technology was not too far advanced. Photographers had to use dangerous chemicals to create pictures (Civil War Trust, 2). The ability to distribute the photographs to the public was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. The And Public Image Of A Woman Speaking One of the words that may help to shine some light on to Paul's intentions is О±бј°ПѓП‡ПЃбЅёОЅ. A word meaning "disgraceful, shameful, dishonest" or "filthy." The idea that this is a matter of shame creates some justification for considering this to be a situational issue. It seems unlikely that there would be shame associated with a woman speaking in church in the twenty–first century. It would be far less likely to associate women preachers with being dishonest or filthy. Thisword may hint at the nature of appearances and public image that affects the church. The issue with this that it appears to contrast with Paul's firm stand against conforming to society. Taking 1 Tim 2:11 –12 as a distinct text allows the reader to dive into what it means to ОґО№ОґО¬ПѓОєОµО№ОЅ. The issue with this word is not that the translation is teach, but that it is such a common word. As per Strong's Concordance, the word occurs in some form over fifty times in the New Testament. One passage that may help bring some clarity to the application of this word is its use in reference to singing as "teaching and admonishing." A man would be hard pressed to not see the difficulty in forbidding all teaching of men. She not only could not preach a lesson, but she would be forced to remain silent during the singing lest a man learn from her singing. Another shared problem is the meaning of бЅ‘ПЂОїП„О±Оібї‡ and бЅ‘ПЂОїП„О±ПѓПѓОПѓОёП‰ПѓО±ОЅ. They can be defined as "obedience, submission, subordination" and "put in subjection, subject, ...

Angie Lovelace's Article On Vietnam Photography In Angie Lovelace's (2010) article on Vietnam War era photography, she researches the meanings, messages, and context of some of the more recognised photographs during the midst of the war. Her paper describes the use of symbolism, the emotional setting of the subjects involved, the political meaning of the images and how the messages derived from these combine to present the viewer with a very specific and moulded view of the events being portrayed. Through her semiotic review of these images, she shows the viewer how "historical conditions are also important to the understanding of a photograph." (Lovelace, 2010, p. 105).

  • 5. North American Landscape Photography Essay Since the Renaissance Era the public had been craving detail scenic views of the land. With the help of the camera obscura, lithographs, engravings, and photography the landscape of distant land were becoming available to everyone. The goal for many European landscape photographers was to document and provide historical information. After improvements to the calotype process many governments or sponsored organizations offered campaigns for photographers to capture certain shots. In 1851 five photographers: Edouard Denis Baldus, Hippolye Bayard, Le Gray, Henri Le Secq, and O.

Braun's image called Lake Streamers at Winter Mooring perfectly captures the serene atmosphere of the Alpine landscape with calm, still water and misty mountains. On the other side of the Atlantic in the Americas the goal was to document the expansion and discovery of the uncharted lands. Marc Ferrez from South America opened his studio in Rio de Janiro with photographs specializing in Brazilian views that, "balances geological descriptiveness with sensitivity to light to create a serene yet visually aesthetic image (Rosenblum)." In North America many photographers were going out to the Midwest to capture the urban development and as documentation of the landscape. Many companies especially railroad companies would hire photographers to document the construction of the railroad and the growth of a city. Carleton E. Watkins's image Magneta Flume captures the construction of a railroad in Nevada Co. California. Watkins was also the first photographer to document Yosemite Park and establish "mountain landscape as a symbol of transcendent idealism."

  • 6. Evolution Of Photography Research Paper Photography was derived from the Greek word "photos" meaning light and "graphein" meaning to draw. Photography is a method used by vast amount of people today, to capture images through the reaction of light and sensitive material. Throughout time, photography has evolved due to technological advancements, making it available to almost everyone. "Cameras have evolved from a pinhole up to the latest and accessible SLRs and DSLRs. Underwater, disposable and film and digital cameras were also invented. The increasing knowledge of people to photography and cameras contributed a lot in order to make more innovations through the years. Therefore, taking photographs, recording images and moments, and sharing the art form became easy and fast" (Art of the Masses). Despite the fact that photography was intended solely for the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Photography when it was first discovered, took many hours to develop in order to expose the film, and for this reason, many scenic views such as mountains, gardens, trees, rain and sunshine were perfect subjects. These images captured a wide variety of elements such as colors, and the views that they would depict. Mountains, rivers, beaches, and lakes, are all very common subjects when taking photographs of scenery. Scenic photography is one of the most common because the main focus of the picture does not move. This form of artwork is very easy to capture, but you always need to keep an eye open towards what exactly you're trying to capture (Basics). Are you trying to tell a story? Are you trying to give some advice through a picture? Are you trying to motivate others? Whatever the case is, whatever you're trying to do, scenic photography is always one of the most helpful art forms in doing so–"photographers use their cameras as tools of exploration– as instruments for change" (Photography at 125) –and that's why it is most ...

  • 7. Social Media Stereotypes Essena O'Neill is an Australian teenager that got extremely famous on social media having more than 612,000 followers on Instagram. Every time she posted a picture she was paid almost $2,000 per post in the platform. Even though in the pictures she posted it was all happiness and sunshine the truth behind them wasn't even close to that. Recently she decided to get rid of 2,000 post she posted on Instagram and just leave 96 with captions telling the story behind the picture such as saying how much she was paid, how she feels about it, and how miserable it was to keep up with the "perfect" image that made her gain popularity and money.

This can be done by creating a hashtag in the Twitter platform such as #diversityisbeauty or #beautyisflawed. If people retweet it enough and keep talking about it until it gets trendy celebrities will notice and support the idea too which can make the change happen even faster. What we want is for magazine's editors, model agencies, and advertisers to incorporate more realistic, diverse, cultural body types in the media. And stop the use of Photoshop and airbrushing in ads, and magazines or to inform the public when this is done, and what was manipulated in the picture. If this is actually get implemented the public will be more aware of the bad effects of the unnatural beauty standards in the media, and it will hopefully decrease the rates of eating disorders, and the obsession of to achieve "perfection" according to social media.

Founded in 1984, the company saw huge success in the early age of the smart phones. The company offers various cell–phone related devices as well as enterprise services, including security. Although BlackBerry's cell phone success has dwindled in current years, its new CEO, John Chen, has made steps to improve profits and change the company's focus to enterprise software suites and security. Problems Minimal Market Share BlackBerry's Market Share has been reduced to less than 1%.

Photography was first known about around the year 1826, but it wasn't until 1861 that the photos taken throughout the Civil War used as a form of reportage (Meggs, pg. 161) that photos began to change opinions, lives and even history. The Civil War showed us that a photo is worth 1,000 manipulated words and the impact of those altered photos continue to affect present day journalism. The tip of the iceberg in photography manipulation began in 1861 when President Abraham Lincoln had photographers document parts of the Civil War.

Moving from developing photos in the dark room to now being able to edit and alter photos with a computer has made a large difference in the process of photoshopping. The time and precision of editing an image has advanced as society has moved into a digital age. One tool of photoshopping in the photojournalism industry, tonal manipulation, is supported by the single idea that a photographer feels the need to alter an image to match what they'd seen in real life ("Photoshop and Journalism | Photoshop 25th Anniversary."). With the way that cameras operate today, there isn't always an organic depiction between what was witnessed in real life and what has shown up through the lense; therefore tonal manipulation is a justified practice.

Women 's Public Image And Policies Essay Historically women were not even given the chance to pursue education or even to vote, and now gender equality has became one of the most discussed topic in the nation. Even though many countries and cities are involved in the evolution of gender equality, their attainments on the issue vary, like the United States and Hong Kong. In the U.S., women are being presumed as incapable to finish hard task by themselves, or undeserved for a higher position in corporations. On the other hand, Hong Kong employs women on higher position, however, women's media appearance are limited to only lingerie or clothing brands instead of professional billboard advertisements. While both places have taken actions towards gender equality over the years, China has a relatively more efficient approach on diversity in job employments, while the U.S. has achieved a more notable development on women's public image and policies to regulate women's right, which could be because of the cultural difference. Gender inequality remains as one of the top challenges that businesses face because of men not acknowledging the challenges female workers face and society's perception on women capability to finish tasks.

The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, "Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one––not just a likeness but a portrait"(Trachtenberg, 24).

"If our work is to carry force and meaning to our view we must be willing to go all out"(Lange, 264) was what Lange had said soon after Migrant Mother was taken. Since she was part of a field operation documenting the reality of the situation of the time, her goal was to make the images she took available to the public eye and hopefully get a positive response to them. Because of her decision to take the photos of the woman with her children, she managed to capture the attention of the millions of Americans and had them witness the full impact of the collapse of the economy and its effect on the people living in constant turmoil and strife because of it from the viewpoint of a set of images taken by a simple camera. The demand of these set of images was to invoke a voice from the people in order for them to urge the current government at that time to take action and fast before significant damage could be inflicted onto the soil of the already wounded country.

These images, according to Quirke, promoted conservativism and conformity and narrowed the audience's understanding of what a laborer should or could do.

  • 17. The Act Of Basking And Public Image In 1976, Robert Cialdini and his colleagues first defined the concept of "basking in reflected glory" (BIRGing), the tendency to improve one's self– and public image by publicly announcing one's association with another person or group (identification) who has become successful in some endeavor (achievement) even if one is in no way the cause of the other's success or "glory". That is, the act of basking is done through association based on the person and the successful other belonging to the same in–group, even if one does not have any personal connection or contribution to the other's success (i.e. self–enhancement; Snibbe, Kitayama, Markus, & SuZuki, 2003). In the original field study, Cialdini et al. (1976) observed that students (1) tended to accentuate their association with the university they attended if the football team representing the university won in its latest match, and (2) refer to the victory as, by extension, including them (e.g. "we won"). Conversely, when the team lost, students tended to distance themselves from the team and the university by not wearing apparel that associate them with the latter and referring to the team as a separate entity (e.g. "they lost"). Moreover, in–group identification through BIRGing can be extended to national and cultural identities, with identification based on country–level or sociocultural in–groups (Galang, QuiГ±ones, Adriano, Portillo, & Carvajal, 2015).

Talbot made the first book forphotography that was used for commercial purposes and revolutionized photography by finally making it possible to print photographs on paper, and in large quantities. If photography is so accessible today, it is partly because of him and the photography process he invented called the Calotype. Nonetheless, people of their time were more fascinated by Daguerre's work and that made him more popular.

As early as 1896, leading psychologists were arguing that memory was nothing more than a continuous exchange of images.

(Yates) Although image certainly is not the only component of memory, it is undoubtedly an integral and essential part of memory's composition.

Over time photography has gradually corrupted memory in a variety of ways, despite its original intention to preserve it. From there, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The most criticized type of anthropological photograph is the image that separates subjects from their environments. The supposed goal of the separation is to highlight the subject's ethnicity and culture. If the goal, however is to highlight culture, it seems that displaying the subject in his or her own culture would be more effective. (Miller 135) Irving Penn's Two New Guinea Men Holding Hands is a common example of the subject being removed from the environment. (see fig. 1) The photograph taken in Penn's studio is in a style popular among ethnographers; it has been used for years by E.S. Curtis and has recently been refined by Richard Avedon. The background and the studio settings have been criticized widely as "removing subjects from the daily flow of their livesВ… and cross breeding fashion and anthropology." (Miller 135) The effect of this photograph on memory is to imprint a false image not only of two people but also of an entire culture. Penn's image gives his viewer no idea of how these two men exist in reality. Because of the studio setting, the viewer cannot even safely assume that this is how the two men really dress or interact with each other.

  • 30. Public Administration : An Image Problem Public administration often suffers from an image problem. Society has constructed a caricature of stuffy bureaucrats who are only concerned with restrictive and complicated procedures just waiting to obstruct efficient government, however, this caricature couldn't be further removed from the reality of the work of public administration and administrators. While public administration has it's roots in the early twentieth century as a rather droll academic pursuit it has evolved through the decades to meet modern needs. It must be emphasized that the profession of public administration does not have a clear and simple definition, but in short, covers a wide breadth of services. These services primarily concern the management of government ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There are four core skills that are the foundation of the profession and these skills are: leadership, management, and the political and technical aspects of administration. One could consider these core skills to be the foundation of public administration and the four major functions of organization, personnel administration, decision making, and budget and finance to be the building blocks. It should be noted that having a deep understanding of these skills in relation to the major functions of the profession is essential to the success of any public administrator. The principles that govern public administration often have a level of reciprocity and build upon each other. One such principle is organization theory. At it's most basic, the principle of organization theory is about structure and process, which are two things all administrators must become comfortable with. It answers the questions of how departments should be structured, how they report and how positions and jobs relate to each other, and what other factors should be considered. To answer those questions different schools of thought have developed as the study of public administration expanded and deepened. These schools of thought include classical management theory which attempts to identify how jobs and organizations can be structured to be more efficient, or the behavioral school of management which ...

  • 31. Digital Imaging Essay Digital Imaging Digital imaging inevitably undermines photography's status as an essentially truthful medium. Discuss. Until recently, at least, it was possible to define photography as a process involving optics, light sensitive material and the chemical processing of this material to produce prints or slides. Today though, that definition is subject to change. Technological innovations...are shifting photography from its original chemical basis towards electronics... It is not overstating it to say that the advent of this new technology is changing the very nature of photography, as we have known it.

However as the authors stressed, probably more significant than the change in how images are produced, distributed and used, are the ideas to which the changes are giving rise and how digital imaging is challenging and changing traditional ways of seeing and thinking. It seems that our traditional belief that 'the camera never lies' has been brought into question. It also appears important to consider who

  • 34. Assessing Psychology 's Public Image Essay In assessing psychology's public image, two dimensions are paramount in the issue: "popularity" (or how the public feels toward psychology and psychologists), and "understanding" (what the public knows about psychology and what psychologists do) (Benjamin, 1986, p. 945). While overall, psychologists are met with a moderately favorable attitude (Guest, 1948), several studies have revealed a deficiency in the knowledge of who psychologists are and what they do (Wood et al., 1986; Wollersheim & Walsh, 1993; Lent, 1990; Cialdini, 1997; Webb & Speer, 1986; Farberman, 1997). This deficiency is the driving force behind many of the negative misperceptions that the public holds, and one cannot help but spy the tendency of the public to doubt the mechanisms behind psychology, namely the science. Lilienfeld (2012) published an article titled "Public Skepticism of Psychology: Why Many People Perceive the Study of Human Behavior as Unscientific." In this article, Lilienfeld suggests that, "the general public agrees with the soft science nomenclature that is frequently applied to psychology" (Munro & Munro, 2014, p.534). He lists six common criticisms of the scientific basis of psychology, some of which include: psychology does not use scientific methods, psychology cannot yield meaningful generalizations because everyone is unique, and psychology is not useful in to society. An addition criticism listed is that psychology as merely common sense (Janda, England, Lovejoy, & Drury, 1998; ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

If you take a look around almost everyone has a camera in their pocket. Photographs can make an impact in many ways and The Burning Monk is one of the photos that made an impact in history. The Burning Monk, taken by Malcolm Browne in 1963 was published by Associated Press.

There appears to be a somber tone to the photo, and almost an aspect of disbelief, to witness half a man's body covered by flames but remaining motionless. The photo was taken in black–and–white to emphasize a critical message and what it stood for. The role of color has no importance in this image because the addition of color would not change what the photo represents in any way. Rather, by opting to not use color, there is a serious tone to this picture, allowing the action of the shot to speak for itself. The Burning Monk was published in the United States during the 1960's. During this era, the Vietnam War had become a part of the everyday American's life. The war had been going on for eight years and America was supporting Southern Vietnam's government. Vietnamese monks under the rule of President Ngo Dinh Diem were banned from observing their practices, one such example was the prohibition of flying their own flag.

Images of women in advertising lies to us completely, eliminating the truth and reality. Models are portrayed in images as absolute flawlessness, not a single line or pore to be seen, which cannot possibly be achieved. Images of women in advertising manipulates by telling them who they are and who they should be by showing ideal women, portraying them as objects revolving around sex. Even male models in advertising images lie and deceive but not as severe as women. A model, Cindy Crawford said, "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford". She knows she can't possibly look like herself in the photo. These manipulating and deceiving images of models are affecting girls' self–esteem by expecting them to be thin, hot, and flawless. The massive objectification of women in photographs rises violence against women and is also one of the main causes of anorexia.

During the year 1839 a man named Samuel Morse brought this process to the United States. Because this process wasn't patented in the United States, it was available for the whole public to use. This caused people to just start opening up cheap studios to make some quick and easy money. People were taking a process that was considered an "art" and turning it into something an average person could do. The process for developing a daguerreotype image was quite intense.

The Daguerreotype process was a good process that created a very clear portrait with great detail. However, disadvantages to the Daguerreotype include long exposure times as well as not being able to produce multiple copies. This process was popular at the time because people who weren't wealthy could pay to get their picture taken. The reason this was possible was because it was not patented unlike the other processes. However the Calotype process produced paper negatives, which allowed it to be reproduced to make multiple copies. The downfall with using this process is that produced an un–clear picture, compared to the Daguerreotype. This process was not very popular because the pictures were fuzzy and the process was patented making it less popular, unlike the Daguerreotype. Finally the Wet Plate process toped them all. The Wet Plate process, or the Collodian process created a very clear image with the capability of reproducing the image to make multiple copies. The only downfall with this process is that it makes for long exposure times and it had to be developed while it was still wet.

  • 38. Comparison With Walton's Argument On Photography And... 1: I agree with Walton's argument on photographic realism. I interpreted his argument that the artist or photographer has a choice in how realistic their work is and that they can be more skilled, or in the photographer's case avoid any manipulation. However, it is more difficult for a painter to achieve this because they not only need to understand the concept of realism but also be able to perform in a manner that will allow the production of a realistic painting. A photographer, on the contrary, needs to properly understand the functions of a camera to achieve realism. Thus, I would agree that both a photographer and a painter can achieve realism, but a photographer is able to much easier than a painter. ______________________________________________________________________________ 2: Objects present in a photograph are easily distinguishable from reality itself because the objects are not the objects themselves. Therefore, Walton states that photographs have a distinct kind of realism. Photographs are always an image of an object that really exists and as a result, viewers are able to see the world through photographs. However, seeing through a photograph is a different perception than seeing reality itself. When a viewer sees through a photograph, they are literally seeing the object, but it is indirect as the viewer is not present in the actual scene to view it for themselves. Therefore, a viewer is able to literally see an ancestor realistically that is not really present and are shown what they would have seen if they were present for the photograph being taken. Furthermore, I agree with what Walton is saying about photography having a special realism. It is not as if the viewer is directly seeing the scene in real life, but rather seeing the real scene as if they were present. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3: I agree with Walton that there is such a difference between what viewers see in photographs and paintings. When someone looks at a photograph of a person, they are seeing that person in a fixed way, a real representation.

Because the image provider is offering you sole rights, the cost for rights–managed images tend to be much higher than for royalty–free images. Terms generally include language limiting you to a particular print run or amount of online impressions, however. Royalty–free images Not to be confused with pubic domain images, royalty–free images are those with a one–time fee, and allow usage across multiple instances and applications.
