In this photo, one sees a lot of food a lot of plastic. Nowadays plastic is damaging our world, so if we do not want our planet polluted and unhealthy, we should start using less of these. As a lot of people already may know, there is an island in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii that is 600,000 square miles. This enormous PLASTIC ISLAND is twice the size the state of Texas in United States. As we know, plastic is very bad for us and having such in the ocean, is terrible. Now fish are eating more often plastics, and we as humans eat them.  As mentioned, plastic is really bad for our organism, it is so bad that it can produce us even cancer! Another issue that I wanted to show in this image is the quantity of people that can not have these aliments in their homes. Now a lot of people are starving and dying of these because they do not have enough money and resources to buy it.Firstly, I think that we should reduce the amount of plastic. To do this I think that every government of each country should try to low the fabrication of plastics. And secondly, I personally believe that we should make an effort and start sharing a little more money and try to help the ones who are dying of starvation. As an image, I do not think it is very good, so people may not like it at first, they would not care. But, if you keep watching it and trying to think what the photographer wanted to show, many should find out what did the photographer wanted to say.

 

I have learnt a lot of things as it was something that I almost never stopped to think. Before, I saw maybe a tragic picture and I only felt sorry for those who suffered, but I never thought about the massage that the photographer wanted to transmit. Referring to visual literacy, I have also learnt about humanity. I realised how lucky we are, I realised that we are very different from each other but at the same time we are the same, and I have also learnt a little of photography. Sometimes, in the news, in social media or in blogs people want to show something that affects them with an image. In my opinion, that is very difficult, as what one wants to reveal their feelings. I believe that for showing your sentiments, one needs to be very specific. So that is what happens with visual literacy, it is very hard to make or find a photo that shows how a person feels about something. According to this, I think that criticizing this type of images is not good because it is very hard. Unless the theme you want to show is very obvious and easy.

 

In conclusion, I would like that the level of plastics decreases. But not only in our community, I want that it decreases in the whole planet. Doing this, we will have our planet less polluted, more healthy and safer. I also want that the number of demises of starvation decreases too. To make this happen, the government of each continent, the government of each country and the government of each province in the world makes sure that the fabrication of plastics lowers. They also must take very seriously the fact of recycling. We need to recycle as much as we can. And finally, for those who do not follow the rules of recycling, a penalty fee will be given.
