much appreciated, the “light” of the Great Depression is, hands down, the Works Progress Administration. Why? The Great Depression was a time of despair and unfortunate events for all citizens of the United States; left and right, the homeless and the jobless were seen forlornly sauntering the streets seeking jobs that could and would not be found. It is in this instance that the Works Progress Administration takes the stage, created by President Franklin Roosevelt, the WPA’s sole reason of existence
Through out the Great Depression there were many photographers, but one of the best was Dorothea Lange. Lange was born on the 25th of May in 1895 in Hoboken, New Jersey as the first child of Joan and Henry Nutzhorn. She decided to become a photographer at the age of 18. She studied photography at Columbia University in New York. At the age of 20 she began to travel the world. Later in life she settled down in San Francisco, California, where she met her first husband, artist Maynard Dixon. She had
being a student at Columbia University, he found out about the University Camera Club. In this club he met Roy Stryker who was a professor hired by Franklin Roosevelt under the visionary Farm Security Administration. Roy Stryker enrolled Arthur as the first real photographer of the FSA (Farm Security Administration). In the next 5 years after he is given this title, Arthur spends his time shooting some of the most iconic images from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Rothstein took around 80,000
Rays of golden sunlight were piercing the blue sky. Today was a hot day. There had been no rain in the last month. A young child was playing in the field while his father was harvesting the crops. The boy was playing among the newly harvested golden vegetables. There were a lot more vegetables than he remembered from years past. The boy knew they were going to sell most of this harvest. Where are the other plants that he remembered? Why was corn the only thing growing? Why is it in straight lines
I glance amusedly at the photo placed before me. The bright and smiling faces of my family stare back me, their expressions depicting complete happiness. My mind drifted back to the events of the day that the photo was taken. It was Memorial Day and so, in the spirit of tradition my large extended family had gathered at the grave of my great grandparents. The day was hot and I had begged my mother to let me join my friends at the pool. However, my mother had refused. Inconsolable, I spent most of
work on the south side, the poverty stricken areas where the blacks lived. That is what got me a Rosenwald Fellowship, the first one ever given in photography. At the time, Jack Delano was in Chicago and he encouraged me to come to the Farm Security Administration. I wanted to work at the FSA because they were doing what I wanted to do ; exposing poverty in America- and along with poverty I wanted to expose racism in America, so I sort of fit right into the grove. Roy Stryker [head of FSA]
It began when Roy Stryker was hired to organize and direct a group of photographers to convince congress that the families in the country needed help. The agency that all the photographers were hired to work for was called the Resettlement Administration. Because no one from congress could see what was really going on, Stryker had to find a way to use the pictures that were being taken in order to convince congress that those in the country needed help from the government. Now that you know
Coles’ Ideas in The Tradition: Fact and Fiction “The documentary tradition as a continually developing “record” that is made in so many ways, with different voices and vision, intents and concerns, and with each contributor, finally, needing to meet a personal text” (Coles 218). Coles writes “The Tradition: Fact and Fiction” and describes the process of documenting, and what it is to be a documentarian. He clearly explains through many examples and across disciplines that there is no “fact or
person's body for security screening purposes, without removing clothes or making physical contact. The United States have been using full-body scanners to update their airport security against attacks. Are body scanners worth the protection and making people feel better when it is a violation of rights and the money could be used in other places better. 1. Protection “Annoying” and “waste of time” are normally the first
Aviation security plays a vital role in the aviation industry, from protecting passengers, staff and aircraft. The aviation industry, more specifically airports and aircraft, make prime targets for malicious harm, crime, and other threats because of the vast amount of people that use air transportation. Although there are many risks that are posed to the aviation industry, we can only hope to have learned from the history of airport bombings, hijackings, and sabotage terrorist attacks. The aviation
thousand people. 9/11 changed millions of lives forever. American Citizens didn’t feel safe. This attack was a wake-up call to American security. 9/11 forced the country to acknowledge its shortcomings and fix them, before any more harm could come upon the United States of America. 9/11, as all acts of terror do, promoted the growth of technology, in this case, security in the United States. 9/11 also brought about feelings of hatred to the country. The United States soon became known as one of the
How security has changed since 9/11 On September 11th, 2001, four planes were hijacked, two planes hit the twin towers, one hit the pentagon, and one crash-landed in a field in Pennsylvania. Since then the government has been doing everything it can to help with security at airports, in airplanes, and in everyday life. Even though the government has been trying to increase security, terrorists have still been successful. Since 9/11, the government has taken many steps to increase security and decrease
Aviation Security (Module 4) Daniel Littell September 2, 2016 Case Analysis - Aviation Security I. Summary Prior to the terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001, security screening of airline passengers was contracted by individual airports or by the airline companies themselves. Afterward, with the passing of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), the power of securing the nation's airports was given to the Transportation Security Agency (TSA)
passenger processing.. The main key facilities any successful airport requires are customer parking, an excellent public transport system, wide open and airy terminal buildings, a dedicated ground force staff, clear signage, comfortable and prepared security screening lanes and a sufficient amount of departure gates to process the large amount of enplanements as quickly and professionally as possible. The size of the parking lots and terminal buildings are extremely relative and no general or average
headache generated by the long security lines. Many travelers complain of the continuing list of rules they have to observe and how they seem to get persistently worse. The government’s solution to the hassle and headache is full-body scanners. The government claims these full-body scanners are faster to go through versus the traditional metal detector, detect weapons and bombs easier, and reduce the stress of the long security lines. In the past, airport security has not been fully successful in
There has always been controversy as to whether pat-downs and body scans should be used in airports to ensure passenger safety. In airports, the security should be allowed to use pat-downs and body scans. Using pat-downs and body scans at airports are beneficial if you have nothing to hide, determines threats better than looks, and prevents plane bombings; however, scanners also send a message that everyone is at terrorist risk, they emit radiation to people, and they violate right to privacy. According
Case Study: Changes in Airport Security and its Impact on Drug Enforcement Before the attacks on September 11th, the government did not establish a coherent set of security guidelines for each airport. Instead, each airline had the responsibility of hiring an airport-security provider. Unfortunately due to capitalistic motives, the airlines did not have the security of their employees or passengers in mind at the time. As a result, many airlines hired the airport-security provider that offered them
realization that the only way to prevent another hijacking is by strengthening the security on aircrafts through the cockpit. In order to secure the cockpit and ensure the safety of the passengers on board, guns were introduced as a possible solution in the event of an emergency situation like those that took place in September of 2001. The Transportation Security Administration head John Magaw, announced the administrations position that they are against guns in cockpits and a pilot should give full
Medicare has been providing health insurance to people since the signing of the social security act in 1965. Signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson as an amendment to the social security legislature, Medicare became one of the biggest health programs to help people aged 65 and over and to those 65 and under with disabilities. The program has helped these people significantly with their health requirements. Today our economy is under financial stress having a debt accumulation of around 54 trillion
