How can a picture convey more information than words? The saying that ''A picture is worth 1000 words'

History

ehidna [41]2 years ago

Answer:

A picture can convey more about the human experience than words for numerous reasons.

Explanation:

Words are specific to language spoken, where as photographs can be interpreted by anyone on earth, regardless of language, demographic, or intelligence. Words in a sentence express a portion of a thought, and in turn can limit the thoughts of a reader. On the other hand, photographs are open to limitless interpretations and are unbiased. The information a photograph holds is in the fine details and subjective interpretation of the viewer.

In this 1936 photo known as <em>Migrant Mother</em> by Dorothea Lange, it is clear that the Great Depression has left people in despair and poverty. On further inspection, a "1000" other words can be said about the photo. One could discuss the raggedy clothes of the subjects, what emotions are running through the mind of the woman and children, and whether or not the woman pictured is in fact the children's mother, etc.

Photographs are immediately relatable to all humans, present infinite amounts of detail and information, and have numerous times in history sparked revolutions, new projects, or captured the essence of an entire event- in this case, the Great Depression.

Alisiya [41]
 All of these aforementioned actions were taken as a means to fight terrorism.

For example, the Patriot Act allowed the federal government to go through phone records of individuals who may be suspected of terrorist activities. Along with this, it gave the federal government more power to listen in on private conversations and more flexibility in detaining people who might have made an attack on American soil.

The Department of Homeland Security has a very similar role, as this agencies entire mission is to keep America safe from possible attacks. This agency works relentlessly on this mission to stop threats from foreign and domestic citizens.
