Consider the impact that Words & Images have on society

Words, images, advertisements, photography, and media engulf our lives. So, I pose these two questions when viewing my postings:

How do visual and verbal rhetoric affect society? How do they shape communities, people, and cultures?

Both visual and verbal rhetoric influence how people think, feel, and react to what they see or hear. No matter how small the intent, words, images, advertisements, photography, and the media have the power to change a community(s), a person(s), or culture(s).

TSA's CONTROVERSIAL AIRPORT SCREENING PROCEDURES

TSA S&M
New York magazine, December 6, 2010 issue
New York magazine's editorial cartoons are hilarious. How do you feel about the Transportation Security Administration's new screening procedures? I feel like this, if it's going to protect the lives of human beings, I'm all for the new system. Sometimes I think people just want to be against something. I mean, we all know what a half naked body looks like, we've seen it on TV hundreds, even thousands of times. So if it's okay on TV, why wouldn't it be okay in this situation? TSA's not even saving the scans.
