Journal Two-Man In The Mirror

When I saw this picture the first thought that came across my mind was Micheal Jackson's song "Man In The Mirror". Micheal Jackson's song was a very powerful song when it first came out and still is. He tried to get across to the world that before we try to make a change in the world we need to make a change within ourselves. There are so many people dying from starvation, diseases, and poverty and people walk around like everything is perfectly fine. Instead of worrying about ourselves all the time we need to look in the mirror, open our eyes, and realize that people need help and the only way to help them is if we do it ourselves. However, this format of the visio-cultural text can call out to even younger people around the world. In this picture there is a man stepping into a mirror and it represents that he is making a change within himself and after that, within the world. To me its like a song turned into a cartoon. When most children listen to songs they really dont get the full meaning of the song, they just like the song because of its beat or just because their favorite artist is singing it. I believe if you turned the song into a cartoon it would reach out to more children and help them understand that most of us are living like "royalty" and sometimes we can be selfish and take it for granted.
