As I was reading this article there was something said on page35 that really struck me and made me think a lot, it said “without reflecting on consequences we have become preoccupied with creating favorable images of America. Yet by doing so, we may be defeating ourselves. Almost everywhere today Amereican IMAGES overshadow American IDEALS.”
This kind of got me thinking, but they are right. What we see here in america today and outside America it covers everything we think and everything we want to fix. We want something to stop, but then we look at the pictures and it covers everything we think. It makes us think well, this is just how things are going to be. Nothing we can do about it. Our Ideal things need to be in the light, we need to bring them to others attention and not hide them under all of these images.
Hi Brennen,
This is a really good post. Great job picking up on this comment - it’s a great one which I might use in the future!
American IMAGES do overshadow American IDEALS - Then how can we as youth workers seek to provide alternative images to help shape a more positive ideal?
