Jean Ger: The two pictures I choose in this college I put together are the top left picture as well as the bottom left picture. I chose the top first picture because it reminded me of the term "Under Western Eyes" I learned in FMST1 last quarter, in which is defined by the homogenizing of other experiences by the first world. It also reflects a "one globe, one human race" standpoint. I chose the bottom left picture because it reflects diversity, similarity, and privilege all into one photo depending on how you look at it. The boy on the left half farms for potatoes whereas the boy on the right farms for cotton. Both can be used to make a living, but only the potatoes can be used to provide sufficient food for oneself if necessary. The boy on the left half is privileged because he has the resources to provide an income and provide food for himself whereas the other boy only has the resources to provide an income that will consequently provide food.
