7 Questions from english
1. What was your first thought on looking at this image?
My interpretation of Equality and justice, in contrast to the photo; were that the photo represents three boys watching a game and the smallest cannot see as all 3 boys only have one crate each. The sacrifice that is made, is where the tallest gives his crate to the younger so he can see the game.
The two sub headings show that equality does not mean justice as all of us are different, and sacrifices need to be made to suit ones needs.
3. Do you agree with the tagline 'equality doesn't mean justice'? Why/Why not? I agree with the tag line as it properly illustrates in context to the photo the difference between Equality and Justice as many associate the two as one by mistake.
4. Would you describe the figure on the right of the two panels as disadvantaged or disabled? Why/why not? The young kid cannot see over the wooden fence this counts him at being deprived (disadvantaged) to watch the game and also disabled as of his height, however through the sacrifice of one man helps him to enjoy the game like everyone else.
5. What kind of political or social change might this poster be advocating? Do you find it effective? The stand point of this poster shows that one disadvantages person can be changed by your sacrifice, this motto could be used for many situations in real life.
6. When you close your eyes and think of the word 'justice', what image comes into your mind? How would you define what justice means to you personally?
I believe justice is when someone gets what they deserve, if they are a murderer they get punished for their crime, if they are innocent they get pardoned, if they are a con-man they get a fair trial and research goes into their background onto why they choose a life a crime.
7. Does our school work for justice? If so, what kind of justice and for whom?
Our school hosts a soup van and drives to Melbourne to give necessities to the many who live on the streets and/or without food or money. The excursion also shows the many students how thankful they should be about where and how they live and also how their sacrifice of time could help someone else enormously. This is justice in a broader sense for those who have lost their way ‘in gods vineyard’ and need help and guidance to find their way again.
