POST 12: School shootings in the USA


 
I chose this document because I think that it's the most interesting one because it's about the victims,
we have a description of the scene and it touches me because I put myself in their place and it horrifies me.
It also talks about the survivors and how their lives aren't easy neither because they have experienced a traumatising event that is impossible to forget. In the website we also have photos of the victims, and pictures of the memorials and pictures
of the survivors after the event, these photos are also very hard to see, that's the reason
I chose this document because it makes us sympathize with the survivors and the families that are concerned( families of the victims and survivors)



This picture of Jessica Holliday (with Diwana Perez, right)  this picture symbolizes sadness these girls are helpless they survived this terrible event also mourn the death of their classmates . I love this picture it is very original


    

             Newsweek covers Columbine
A photo of Jessica Holliday with other Columbine High students
fleeing the school was turned into a cover for Newsweek later the same month. in this picture you can really see the point in this killing has impacted these young people and the event has been tragic and highly publicized

           
I like this picture because it touches me a lot ,  in this picture we can see a young girl who has just found his mother, one can see on their faces feelings of consolation and  also sadness and fear but I find that  beautiful this reunion between mother and daughter 


 the film or series that I think best deals colombinus this is quite true that I did not watch the movie, but it is challenging and I think it best captures the scene, from his title columbinus , 
I also like the poster and I imagine without seeing it well illustrates the scene and will have plenty of action in the film . But having just watch the trailer I am sure that this film is one of the best illustration

THE US GUN CULTURE







 This document is a campaign  to prevent gun violence managed by Bill Braidy since  1974 .
On the poster we can see the number of murders made by  guns in one year in seven countries , from  seventeen people in Finland to  200 in Canada but the most striking figure is United States which 9,484 .
the gun represent the american flag , the compaign wants to sensiblize people about the dangers of this weapon especially in United States because it is  where there are most deaths , that is why wee can see in poster ´´ GOD BLESS AMERICA ´´






in this document we can see two main differences, the gun has changed compared to that of 2004 and the number of deaths has decreased. We can view this as a positive thing and we can think that this campaign reaches its goal of reducing deaths by firearms laws that sensitive weapons, we can say that their AWARENESS campaign was good but that it would do more because people still die front of weapons violence
          

               In these graphics we see two things: first, the top 10 countries where there is gun murder and secondly, the number of people killed by guns in developed countries only this time.
In the first graphic, we can see that the USA are far behind (26th) which can make USA feel better about themselves but if you compare with the second graphic about gun murder in developed countries we can see that USA "wins" the contest by far, because we can probably not compare poor countries with an unstable political state with developed countries, putting the USA first in line when it comes to gun violence in developed countries.

                     
                              


                                


In this cartoon we can see an old statue representing the authentic second amendment and a parody of this statue with a man from the National Rifle Association standing on a pile of munition boxes.
Next to the first statue, the author wrote "Second Amendment as defined by the founding fathers
Next to the second "statue", the man from the NRA, looking scary and scared at the same time, is carrying three rifles and multiple guns in his pocket. He is way "larger" then the man of the other statue and looks really embarasing . I think the author did this to highlight the changes

   This cartoon denounces the role of the state in the gun traffic in a USA , In this cartoon we see that there has been a bloodshed in the capitol, somebody was killed, probably by a gun,lobby guy says: "Now where were we, before we were so rudely interrupted..."the man prefer  the money to the security of citizens, this document also shows the corrupmtion of some leaders

Mama said, "You're a pretty girl"
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time, I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down,down
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Perfection is a disease of a nation
(Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs a surgery
Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says
Thinner is better
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time, I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Perfection is a disease of a nation
(Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs a surgery
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
The pain's inside
And nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
It's my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
And you break when the paper signs leaves you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
And the shards of a beautiful girl
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Perfection is a disease of a nation
(Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs a surgery
When you're alone all by yourself
And you're lying in your bed
Reflection stares right into you
Are you happy with yourself?
It's just a way to masquerade
The illusion has been shed
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Yes
Ah ah

I will present pretty hurts to you it is a song which I like much of beyoncé American artist! I will have rather wanted to present a clip of rihanna to you which is my favorite  artist or one of his songs which I like much but I have to prefer this one of beyonce which appears to me more challenging knowing that one lives in a society who the physique cheek is a very great role
in this video clip Beyoncé  plays the part of the beauty queen in its skin. it to criticize the society which push the young girls to search the perfect body. (Vomiting, plastic surgery, mode) Through this new Beyoncé clip is decided to carry out a new combat against the diktats of appearance. I think that it is a very beautiful combat on behalf of this artist who was elected as the most influential woman of the World because it is used as model for several young person and through this clip it transmits a very interesting message as what one can have a few kilos in excess and be beautiful without surgery and all the rest
femininity is in the middle of this clip what makes it   more interesting, In the clip one can recognize Shaun Ross known to be the first mannequin Afro-American reached of albinism Behind the sparkling smiles and the sizes of wasps, thus takes shape a dark truth  that of a wild world where the worship of the beauty reaches disproportionate proportions. The lyrics  are very touching one can also see that the approach of the artist is all the more very sincere coming from a woman as Beyoncé which never had recourse has the plastic surgery and yet was elected several times as one of the more beautiful women of the world in spite of its forms at the time of the exit of its clip it even launched a challenge has its fans with hashtag # what is pretty # a manner for it of being in contact with sea fans and to have their opinions on perception and especially to see whether they agree with his clip. That has to seem to me super good what I like at Beyoncé it is that it always puts the woman ahead it is not let fair it has character and it is sincere in her approach and its feels Me
I have really  like the clip and I one can put in relation to the notion seats and form of power  to be able to analyzing the place of the plastic surgery in our society
