Hi classmates.
Today I'm going to write about the “Twenty-Four Hours in Pictures” that The Guardian’s news share this day. These are fourteen images about people and animals too like a selection of the best images around the world.
It’s interesting like a photo can say a lot of different realities and moments of the life. I liked the image of the Indian child who is selling birds in the street. I thought “Wow! What terrible thing! How is it possible that the children work yet instead of enjoying their childhood?” I think that it represents very well a persistent problem in our societies although we don’t want to see it.
The other one that I liked was which appears a poor man taking a nap next to Roland McDonald in Singapore. This image makes me think about the huge contrasts in some societies like Chile. For example, how it’s possible that the ten percent of the Chilean people have almost thirty time more money than the ten percent poorest. Our long and narrow country is one of the most unequal in the world and it will continue thereby if the government doesn't do something real and deep to changing it.
Finally, I rescue the photo of a pigeon which leaves trails on snow-covered ground. And although maybe it doesn't seems relevant for the Sociology, it makes me remember all the opposite. A noisy, restless and fast society which demands more work and less fun and what isn't able to give space for to stop, to relax and appreciate at the other persons or at the ambient that it’s next to us. That’s our apathy or indifference social.
