Image: Decisions, Decisions....

So, We were told to find an image, or advertisement that ties in with our topic. THAT is where my problem lies, my topic is the loss of culture in our society today.

There are some to choose from but nothing that directly ties in. I haven't chosen a definite image but I found one that might juts make the cut.

It is here:

I think that the image definitely uses sarcasm and satire in mimicking the U.S.'s symbol of justice, a woman blind-folded with a scale. In the balance hangs a man who feels that affirmative action is definitely a form of injustice if it isn't supported by quotas or statistics.

The artist is definitely using satire in critiquing people who believe in abolishing affirmative action, while using the image of justice sarcastically. We can see evidence of the book's claims of making a sophisticated argument that's subtle and clever.
