"We can sharpen our insights. It is not always war, insurrection, and disease." Leslie Dodson enlightens us to the impact that photographs have on our perception of a situation, and urges her audience to review our "ethics of seeing" when witnessing journalistic work. Your class will gain a better perspective of what they see portrayed in the media and the steps that have been taken to acquire such information.
