tendency to change individuals’ attitudes, if they are conscious of the fact that they are being filmed. Though all of the video and documentaries were impactful, the two documentaries that had the most impact on my learning were: 1. “True Colors”, Diane Sawyer, ABC News, 1992 2. “Divided We Fall”, Valarie Kaur, New Moon , 2006 In this first mini-report, I will critique these two documentaries, and show why they had the most impact on understanding of cultural diversity.

Firstly, perhaps the more obvious, was the concept of where
The Struggles of Grief Many experts would agree that there are different stages in grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance are stages that many grief stricken people must endure to manage life after a traumatic death. The story “The Fly” by Katherine Mansfield has only a few characters in it, but those few characters show the different stages of grief. The characters illustrate how different the grieving process is when the circumstances of the deaths are the same. Mr. Woodifield

Like Vincent van Gogh, Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix, Diane Arbus’s incredible success and early, tragic death have forever immortalised her. However, as with many pop-culture ‘legends’ who are catapulted to fame following the general cacophony surrounding their own tragedies, her premature death often has a way of occluding her art. The legend of Diane Arbus is untouchable. How then, to organise and curate an exhibition of her work that rejects sensationalism? Well, the National Art Gallery has
"Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child" (Lubow). However, unfortunate to some and lucky to others, a camera was always in the hands of Diane Arbus, even when she was stark nude. What she brought to the photography world was something no one had ever seen before and it appalled many people. Shocking images stare back at the viewer from her photographs; a man’s face entirely covered in hair, faces of identical twins so similar you can’t tell them apart
