because of my visible disability are more disabling than any physical limitations that I may have. I remember standing in the lobby of Carmichael Towers during the beginning of my sophomore at Vanderbilt University and staring at a set of posters.

our leaders, like Obama’s determined face or Augustus’ powerful stance, are set into “theoretical stone”, establishing a sense of permanence in a very powerful tool: an idea. This idea lives on, even past death, and persists even if the face of the poster or the sculpture is different, stirring others to rally behind a similar leader or to stand in the way of the opposition. And, much like Obama and Augustus, these ideas have and will continue to shape the way we see the world, how we interpret…

Love can become an addiction that can destroy your life and the lives of others. Being addicted to someone is not healthy because it can cause confusion and problems. The poster for Franco Zeffirelli’s Endless Love (1981) shows two young teens falling in love. In the top right corner, there is a quote that says, “she is 15. he is 17. the love every parent fears”. This quote caught my attention because it changed my interpretation of the image. When I saw the image, I thought that the film was…

find themselves there at the time, or perhaps it is a college campus in the U.S. to evoke a sense of fear within college students and professors who passed by this poster on a daily basis. I believe that because I live in the 21st century, and understand the outcome and impact of this war, I would not carry out the message of this poster. However, if I am to be an ignorant, young, happy-go-lucky girl in the early 1900s I would purchase a war bond, not to appease the Committee of Public…

As a parent educator, we can support the healthy identity development of all children by ensuring that our classroom environment is culturally diverse. It is also important to be open-minded and nonjudgmental. Children are curious, so it is important to support their curiosity. It is also important to educate parents on how they can support their child’s identity at home. For instance, educating parents on stereotypes. As a current toddler teacher, I have multicultural clothing displayed…

the Giant picture which caught his attention and as result he decided to redesign the ad for fun into a Freemasons of the 21 Century poster. The goal of redesigning the advertisement was for Shepard amusement, not intending to send any real political message, but in hope to open viewer’s eyes about the world around them. Shepard posted stickers, flyers, and posters all around the Town of Providence Rhone Island. Many people took notice of the design and began to talk about it all around town.…

World War II not only exacerbated the racial tension within the American people, but also excused the…
