It seems counterintuitive that the photographers sent to Haiti are being demonized for their photographic evidence of the disaster. 

Following the aftermath of an earthquake in Haiti, other instances of violence occurred, particularly the shooting of fifteen year old Fabienne Cherisma. Caught by a bullet fired by police attempting to ward off looters, Fabienne Cherisma devastatingly lost her life. This tragedy was further documented by dispatched photographers from various organizations.

The controversy of the photographs involving Cherisma particularly stems from the notion that such coverage will only last as an exploitative headline, rather than a call to action for others to help in the debilitating aftermath. As such, the various photographers have come to be viewed as dystopian in nature. In such a way that they’re documenting of the aftermath has been villainized. 

Though, this begs the question, is what these photographers did truly wrong? These photographers, particularly the ones who documented Cherisma’s death, not only captured the aftermath of the earthquake, yet the humanistic chaos that inherently follows. While possibly morally incorrect, such a photograph encapsulates how one tragedy domino affects others in our society. As such, it was not only the earthquake to be documented, and not only the deaths from said earthquake either, yet the true inherent chaos and brutality following such an event.

Purposeful Summary—KFury

Posted on September 24, 2024 by KFury205

It is Counterintuitive to say that death is meant to be splattered on the walls of a journalist’s room. To have it be so crudely waved around like a moment to be captured as if it were a moment not unlike those of film. 15-year-old Fabienne Charisma was a young Girl in Haiti during its period of earthquakes, who tragically died by police on January 19th, 2010, and is now being used as a symbol to rally people to Haitia’s aid. 

Though the gesture itself is kind, the photo of Fabienne was deemed unethically ambiguous and a sort of violation of death. To ask, Why a photographer’s first thought when seeing a young girl dead on the ground after a disaster, was to capture the moment and use it as a symbol is beyond what any person who saw that photo would dream. To show the whole world such a dreadful sight in hopes of help when all around so much more destruction and death by nature’s hands are around them, they chose the one death by human hands to cascade their thoughts and prayers to. 

It is a complicated scenario that leads to many topical conversations on the usage of photography for said disaster, such as where we draw the line between right and wrong to photograph the death of a person and to have been known as a falsehood more than anything else.

Purposeful Summary—Crabs123

Posted on September 24, 2024 by crabs123

It seems counterintuitive that a photo shows a young girl lying lifeless on top of a painting that symbolizes life. On January 19th, 2010, Haiti was dealing with the disastrous aftermath of an earthquake. Amidst the chaos, 15-year-old Fabienne Charisma saw an opportunity to earn money for her struggling family and took a painting that she thought was valuable. Maybe it was the bright colors or the liveliness of the floral arrangement that attracted her to the painting. As she ran across rooftops with the paintings clutched in her arms, she was shot three times by a police officer trying to control the looting. It’s shocking to see a lively young girl in a bright pink sweater lying dead on top of a vibrant painting that held value in her innocent mind.

Purposeful Summary – student12121

Posted on September 24, 2024 by student12121

It seems counterintuitive that a group of photographers taking a photo of Fabienne Charisma, laying lifeless, would end up stirring outrage against the photographers, rather than those who sent them to take photos exactly like the one they took.

The photographers were sent to Haiti to document the tragedy following a serious earthquake, and thats exactly what they did. They documented an event that encapsulated all that was going on. In a single photo one could see destruction, looting, and police brutality. But the contents of the photo had little to do with it’s popularity. The most controversial part was the action of taking the photo. The people sent to the island to take photos, took photos and because it blew up, the practice was illuminated. The backlash was centered on the photographers doing their job rather then the people who sent them there. Photographers have limited job opportunities and these ones did their job to the fullest extent. I would argue that sending pure photographers to disaster zones is the issue. If the photographers were also humanitarian aid workers this would not have happened.

Electric cars, Don’t Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions. – colibrimic.

Posted on September 24, 2024 by colibrimic

When electric cars are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is that they do not pollute the environment, the truth is that studies have shown that they pollute the same as conventional or gasoline-powered cars, this is because electric cars need fossil energy sources such as coal. For example, countries like China and Japan, which are countries that depend on coal, have this type of vehicle, they will generate more environmental pollution even in developing countries like Malaysia because electric cars require fossil fuels – carbon.

even in developing countries like Malaysia because electric cars require fossil fuels – carbon.

The only less polluting way is that it is accompanied by a low carbon network, one more challenge for Malaysia that depends on coal.

an alternative for countries like France and Norway that depend on coal for their nuclear and electric plants rather than their cars.

Alternatives for countries that depend on coal for their nuclear or hydroelectric plants, such as France and Norway, can drive electric vehicles instead of those powered by oil, the problem for defenders of the use of coal is many in the world and already in 26 countries, it is planned to make 1600 plants which will reach 43% worldwide in production which leads to  environmental pollution.

In Germany, it was supposed that wind and solar energy would replace nuclear energy, but it does not work because it is intermittent energy, that is, when there is no wind and  the sun does not shine, this energy cannot be counted. For this reason, vehicles need available fossil fuels. always like gas, oil, and coal. which exceeds 80% of consumption in Germany, therefore, charging electric cars does not significantly reduce CO2 emissions, there is only an 8.7% difference in CO2 emissions between electric vehicles and oil vehicles.

Purposal summaries- Colibrimic

Posted on September 24, 2024 by colibrimic

It seems incongruous that those photographers did not have a bit of humanity with that deceased girl and that they only rushed to do their job, which was photography, informing, bringing the news to the audience, but this particular case is disturbing when seeing the inert body. of that little girl who seems to none of them to care about her misfortune.

 Survivor of the Haiti earthquake, Fabienne Charisma had dreams to fulfill, such as being able to become a nurse. but, she was a fatal victim of a police shooting, which forever ended her dream of helping others.

The photographers showed the world this photograph of the body of a girl whose death was not related to the earthquake, ummm, could it be that morbidity attracts attention and sells?

If only they had done everything possible to find the girl’s relatives so they could give her a decent burial, but they didn’t, they only dedicated themselves to exercising their professional side, sadly forgetting the human side.

Its seems counterintuitive for photographers to rush to take pictures of Fabienne’s lifeless body instead of participating in the humane act of correctly taking care of the deceased body.

Fabienne Charisma’s aspirations was to help others by becoming a nurse that is until she fell victim to a police shootout. After the earthquake that took place in Haiti, Fabienne Charisma saw this as an opportunity to help only for her to be shot down by police. Photographers rushed to take pictures of her lifeless body in hopes to show the devastation that the earthquake caused even though her death was unrelated. Instead they could have reached out to authorities and the local in order to help find this girls family and put her fully to rest.

Hypothesis

Posted on September 24, 2024 by Burnbook04

I will be comparing two religions Christianity and Islam. I believe that there are similarities in their bible and in some way and that there should be separation of religion since there are so many similarities. in the Bible, the first chapter is called Genesis where the beginning of everything is talked about. It touches on how the world came about and how God created everything. In the Quran, there is also a beginning called AI-Fatiha which also talks about the start of everything. Both the Quaran and the Bible talk about a journey, faith, and creation in the beginning. I want to compare more scriptures and chapters to see how similar they are and how separation of religion came about.

My hypothesis – chaoslol

Posted on September 24, 2024 by chaoslol

Before Zoom meeting:

  • Drivers should take a re-test at a certain age
  • There are no benefits to being in a relationship in college
  • Uber/Lyft does not reduce the risk of drunk driving
  • Technology takes time away from enjoying life outdoors

After Zoom meeting:

  • At the age of 65, drivers need to re-take the road test to ensure that they are cognitive enough to safely drive on the road without endangering anyone.
  • While Uber and Lyft are great resources to help get home, there is no guarantee that they prevent drunk driving, nor do much to help prevent it from happening.

Purposeful Summary – Robofrog

Posted on September 23, 2024 by Robofrog

It seems counterintuitive that the photographers should have stopped people from desecrating Fabienne Cherisma’s corpse, but they did nothing upon arriving at the scene aside from taking pictures of her corpse and her family as they took it away.

Fabienne Cherisma was shot by police on January 19, 2010, during the lootings after the Haitian earthquake occurred. From the time of the shooting to when her family arrived on the scene about 30 minutes after the shooting and took her body away, there had been at least 15 photographers there, taking pictures. They did not try to stop people from looting the body. Nor did they stop taking pictures when her family arrived on the scene, instead following them and taking pictures as they did so.

The photographers while not responsible for her death, did have a responsibility to act in a decent manner and prevent her body from being looted in front of them.
