Images of Inequity

Reflect:

During the Income Inequality lecture, Arshad refers to the Oxfam report An Economy for the 1%.

For this reflective activity, first think about what the disparity between the 1% and 99% means to you and view this TED gallery by Helen Walters on what inequality means to an international group of artists, designers, photographers and activists.

Then, find or take an image that meaningfully represents inequity as you see it.

Discuss:

In this discussion thread, upload or post a link to your photo and provide a short explanation of why you selected this image (feel free to use Twitter’s 140 character limit as a guide for the length of your explanation, since this will make it easier to tweet out later!).

Connect:

If you use Twitter, we’d love it if you tweet your selected photo and explanation! You can tweet it to us at @FinanceMooc and/or using the hashtags #Inequity #F4E.

Reminder: If you’ve decided to keep a portfolio to document and showcase your learning, make sure you include this reflective activity in your learning portfolio!Participation is optional

This is the picture came to my mind when it comes to inequality. It’s a famous picture taken during Vietnam War. Inequalities of power between soldiers and citizens, grownups and kids, Vietnam and America, etc., are shown within this single picture. I feel sad seeing this photo every time.
