Image A represents the logo of the organization of Amnesty International aimed at suggesting the role of the company in protecting against unfair imprisonment as a social injustice. The image presents a burning candle encircled by a wire. The wire would represent the unjust torture of the prisoners. The other perspective of the idea would be to consider the wire to describe the protective nature of Amnesty International in advocating for the release of the unfairly imprisoned people. The image presents two different perspectives, either suggesting the defensive nature of the organization or the disruptive nature of the prison institutions in unfairly arresting members of the society.
Image B presents a woman drinking a cup of tea with unread messages on her phone and a key on the table suggesting modern society’s busy life. The interpretation of this image can be inferred from two different perspectives. First, it portrays the importance of taking a break from a busy life to satisfy human basic needs. Second, the image could suggest her non-attachment with modern civilization as a sense of her conscious mind to the current technology’s delineating nature. Both of these arguments would still present the meaning of the picture, suggesting her awareness of the disruptive nature of the recent innovation.
Analyzing and interpreting the representation of culture and power is, therefore, critical in recommending a desired behavior pattern within society. Personal ideologies, the influence of power, and an individual’s awareness of their environment remain influential in identifying either a preferred or disruptive human behavior. An acceptable representation of both these factors would present a social totality culture to benefit the entire social group. However, modern civilization is seen to extend an alternative view of the world, thereby compromising the effectiveness of a well-represented culture.
