Week 1 - Positive and negative images

I have choosen a picture of the American Frontier as a positive image as it represents American being the land of hope and opportunity, which is why it appealed to all the people who imigrated to America. The vastness of the land creates the impression that opportunities are endless and that anyone can achieve the 'American Dream'.

For my negative image I have choosen a picture taken from the Vietnam war. I feel that this picture captures some of the true horrors that America caused to innocent civilians. Unfortunately this is just one of many examples of America going to war needlessly. America is a nation that is paranoid and will all too willingly go to war and invade other countries.
