Images of America

This image promotes a positive picture of America in my mind as it instills a feeling of unity. A multi-cultural and racial choir and orchestra are seen to be working in harmony to produce a shared goal. This speaks volumes of the diversity of population in America and reflects a healthy and good approach to cultural integration. Even though throughout the country it is that rich
diversity that is causing many tensions and problems.



I think this image depicts a negative aspect of America culture and displays a mainstream practice that is immoral. Parading young children (not really old enough to be discerned as female) around in adult themed outfits to be judged on superficial qualities does not seem to be instilling the correct life values. Not to mention the provocative and what can only be described as sexually charged atmosphere that surrounds such events with mixed gender audiences.
