Jordan Webb - Representation of America (week 1)


For my first image, I chose this picture of the cowboy. The cowboy is what most people think of when asked to describe Americans. It symbolises the courageousness, determination and standing up for what is right no matter what – ideals which Americans take seriously, value and pride themselves upon even today. 


My second image I chose Donald Trump. I chose him as a negative as his morals are not what most Americans have and has been known to have done many things, such as sexual assault against young girls and not paying taxes and much more, but has not been questioned fully against and is still allowed to run for president. This could show the negative side of America, and highlight the White Male privilege that seems to occur often in America, showing that America is only ‘free’ to white people and empowers males.
