I chose this image of 3 young girls holding guns as a negative image. This is to represent gun crime in America which is currently a big problem. There has been over 50 school shootings since Columbine and many other crimes featuring guns including a five year old accidentally shooting and killing his two year old sister with the rifle he got for his birthday. Some would argue that guns are not a problem and that having them helps people protect themselves from danger but other countries with legislation against guns have much lower gun crime.
I chose this image of Halloween as a positive image. Halloween is a great way for kids and adults to become something they're not for a day and take part in many activities such as trick or treating, Apple bobbing, pumpkin carving and much more. Even though this day did not originate in America and can be traced back to Ireland before the middle ages, it is huge in the states compared to other places such as the UK. In contrast Halloween could also be seen as dangerous because children are knocking on strangers doors, and bad things have happened in the past such as people putting razor blades in candy. In my opinion Halloween is a great festive day for everyone to experience whether it's through trick or treating, partying, or staying in and watching scary movies.
