Reducing Inequalities--SDG Goal #10 Writing Assignment

Please answer the same questions for the three photos below

1. Describe what you see in the photo. Don’t analyze it at this stage; just say what you see, such as “a man is standing up and speaking into a bullhorn.”

2. How does the photo make you feel? Explain what it is in the photo that evokes those feelings.

3. What can you infer from what you’ve seen? For example, in what setting do you think the photograph was taken? Why do you think so? What, if anything, do you think the people in the photo have in common? Why do you think so? What do you think the photographer was aiming to show? To answer this last question, imagine some other picture the photographer might have taken at the same event, and how that other shot might affect viewers like you.

4. What stereotypes have you heard about age? They may be stereotypes that you’ve heard about people your age or about people in other age groups. What stereotypes do these photos contradict? How do they do so?

Please see vocabulary in previous post on gender bias for support.
