In this section of our reading. The book describes "iconic images as "an image that refers to something outside of its individual components, something (or someone) that has great symbolic meaning for many people."
The book gives several example of images such as the image of the mother and child where it represent maternal love as well as the importance and power of motherhood and maternal bond. Images can illustrated social mores in there background or by having symbolic objects.
The image of the Tiananmen Square this image state a culture and a specific time of period. It strongly reflect a society feelings,thoughts and outcomes.
Throughh centuries images have been tools to demonstrate a particular social mores or culture conflicts. Iconic images are those have evoke truth and capture a strong view of a culture or representation of time An image that have had in one way or another has revealed the truth or as impacted a society and has changed view and values
In reading section, I was surprise that they gave some much importance to Britney Spears personal life and her downfalls. In a way wanted for the section to have mention other iconic individual or events that in a way have change a country as a whole such as Che Guevara and World Trade Center
