" God has not given you Equal Rights"

Many of you have heard about the atrocities committed in other countries. Stories in the news come and go, and it seems like the world just keeps on getting worse. While that is not true, groups of people, race, ethnicity, gender, culture, religion, and many more, are continually put down before others in power.

     Take gender, for example. In many countries throughout the world, women are seen as a lower class. They are given less rights, less opportunity, and are treated as if they are not human. This is reflective of the fact that many people in power put down women from a basis of religion or culture.


   Imagery has always been a powerful medium.. I am here today to show you exactly how to show this fact.


    This picture is titled " God has not Given you Equal Rights".

 But is that really the fact?

  I believe that men in power use religion as a basis to create rules that a society must follow.

   This idea is more than proven in this picture, because it is the picture. The main focus of this picture, the middle ground, it exactly this point. It is a symbol, a representation, of the fact that woman are put down. It is the whole focus of this picture. The men are free to be open and wear what they would like, while women are forced to hide their attitude and life behind a sheet of clothing.

This helps demonstrate my idea that men in power are the ones who create rules. If women are forced to hide, who's fault is it really? It is the men's fault. This picture demonstrates this through their use of focus, clothing, and attitude. The men in their own clothing surround the women who are forced  to cover up. In this country, it is said religion is the cause of this attitude, but I believe it is the men who take advantage of people's beliefs to have power over gender, and their roles. If this was not a problem, then pictures like this would not exist. This is a problem we should be fixing.
