The article "Changing the Face of Poverty" made me realize all the times we are faced with ads/commercials conveying poverty. The article made me think about how poverty is represented in America. The line that struck me the most is seeing is believing and we have to care about what we see in order to make a difference...hince the vivid pictures of broken homes and starving children. But since we are so used to seeing these ads...has society become numb to poverty? Poverty seems to be such as overwhelming issue whose end seems infinite. As long as there is money there will be poverty.
A question of discussion would be: Can you really change the face of poverty? Does changing the pictures from across the world, to across the country, to across the state, to across the street change the real meaning behind the picture? Does brining the image "closer to home" make you care more?
