By creating a logo that is both creative and highly recognizable, people will be more willing to help out in ways available to them. They will be enthusiastic to help out such a great cause.
It was very wise for your group to use a logo to help represent your project. Because of the explosion of logos and everyone’s identification with them, people love logos. By using two very recognizable logos, the Penn State Nittany Lion and the Haitian flag, it is very hard to not comprehend the point of the product. By clearly displaying your project’s title, there is no reason for people not to understand the point of it. By incorporating a very recognizable university and a poverty-stricken country, who couldn’t become interested. If simply for the fact that Penn State is involved, people will surely become interested in the project you are proposing.
This will work tremendously well for the cause simply because Penn State has so many fans and alumni. As one individual becomes interested in the cause, the news will spread rapidly. Similarly, when this logo is presented to the Haitian people, they may not have any idea what the lion is doing holding the Haitian flag, but they will at least realize that something, or someone, is partnering with their land. Thus, by printing your title underneath the logo you create, the point is clearly stated, allowing both parties to comprehend the point of the logo.
It was a fantastic idea to use a logo to help represent your project! Because we live in a world where the logo essentially sells the product, this was a brilliant idea. Like others have said before me, I believe that somehow incorporating the Haitian flag and something about Penn State is your best route. The quintessential thing that comes to mind is the Nittany Lion holding the Haitian flag. Though this may seem a bit childish, I believe it certainly gets the point across. This logo is showing Penn State and Haiti coming together, which is what the project is looking for. The important point to remember is that your viewing audience would know exactly what you were trying to point out. Anyone that lives in the Northern part of the United States surely has some clue of what the Nittany Lion is. They know he is our mascot, especially important during sporting events. So when people see the logo of the Nittany Lion holding the Haitian flag, they will have to know that somehow Penn State is affiliated with the country whose flag the lion is holding. By having the title of your project printed, in large type, under this logo, the people can’t miss the point of the project!
Everything that the Native American people worked for and owned is no longer theirs, but it now belongs to the white people. How can we, as white people, continue to live the way we do, on Native American land, without feeling any sense of remorse or guilt for our ancestors past actions? After class, I walked out with a heavy heart. The land where my house is currently probably once belonged to a Native American family but at some point white people forced them off their property. How can I continue to call our country the United States of America when it really is white people imposing their will upon the Native Americans? Because of class, I now have a much different view of not only what I had, but also how my family obtained it with regards to where I live.
After watching the videos in class about the Native Americans and poverty, it is ironic that the people who owned this land are the ones with the highest poverty rate. White people take for granted all the privileges they have compared to people of color. It’s extremely sad to hear about all of the negative stereotypes that exist for Native Americans. Gambling, drinking, and drugs are all thought to be a “Native American” way of life, but it’s sad to see that although some do participate in these activities, not everyone does. Theirs is just like any other race, except the white people associated these unsavory qualities with Native Americans. With such negative qualities associated with Native Americans, it’s no wonder they have such a dislike for white people.
Prior to class, I knew as immigrants from England we committed an injustice against the Native American people. From past history classes I knew that we pulled the Native Americans out of their homeland, we took over and settled here, and we segregated the Native Americans into separate units. I know that we did this to prevent the Native Americans from revolting and starting a war against us, mainly because the very large group of them would have completely killed us. I was aware that what we did was so very wrong. We literally dragged the Native Americans off their land, the land they owned, so we could occupy it and claim it as ours. But, I was unaware of the continued hatred towards Native Americans. I was especially shocked to learn about the numbers regarding sexual assault against Native American women. A very small percent was from other Native Americans. Unfortunately, the larger percentages were white men. So not only did we steal their land, but we also assaulted their people. We segregated the tribes into different areas so that collaboration didn’t take place.
Adults can present themselves in a better way than children can. Adults know that many people will be viewing these pictures, so they can attempt to make themselves look less devastated than they really are. Children are raw; they would be willing to give the photo regardless of how they looked or what they did or didn’t have on.
I feel that aid organizations are doing a great job in that they are so willing to help needy individuals attain the goods and services that they need. Unfortunately, I feel that by showing pictures of children they are going about fulfilling their goals in a very wrong and unnecessary way. Children are so vulnerable, instead of exploiting them, the aid organizations should focus solely on adults, people who can defend themselves and are mature enough to understand what these photos mean.
I feel it would be particularly odd for a child to be photographed while the adults are pushed aside. Children are so innocent and vulnerable, I feel that by aid organizations solely focusing on them for footage of their country’s dilemma, only hurt and pain can come.
Broadcasting photos of devastated countries is a great idea, but I feel that aid organizations should focus on adults, not children. Adults know exactly why they would be photographed, and they could be told exactly for what organization. Adults can question the organization’s intentions and they can deny photos. Children on the other hand, though I’m sure they know they are being exploited because of their troubles, don’t have the vocabulary and mindset of an adult to be able to comprehend exactly why it is that they are being displayed. Children are eager to please adults so it is unlikely that they would deny an organization the photos that they want
It seems that every foreign aid group or non-profit organization geared towards helping people suffering from poverty displays pictures of young children. Whether the aid is for people suffering from natural disasters or from poverty, children are the go-to targets for pictures to symbolize the needy nation. I understand why these organizations are doing this. It makes complete sense. People are more willing to help children, and they are more willing to give money or participate in volunteer services if it is directly helping children. The problem I have with this is that children shouldn’t be exploited because of the nations dilemmas. When poor children are shown without shirts or shoes, it’s very depressing. Seeing children’s ribs stick out because they haven’t eaten in days isn’t very attractive. Though these pictures tug at your heart and make you want to give money, I feel that it hurts the children’s spirits. They know, though some are very young, that when people are taking their pictures when they aren’t wearing shoes that it’s probably not for a fashion magazine. It’s like the children are a circus, their loss and suffering are being broadcast to the world.
I also credit my open-minded spirit to my parents. Because they taught me and my sister and brother to respect all, I have truly grown to accept everyone. To me, interracial relationships are nothing different than relationships between same race couples. I am so glad to have been brought up in a time when it is not so important that relationships are interracial (though that is not to say that some people don't still have a major problem with it).
