Important political issue 1
Homelessness
1)
It goes without saying that homelessness is a
real issue in the United States. It is sad and frustrating to see how many
homeless individuals there are while others live in extremely lavish houses and
overindulge on absolutely everything. My idea for a photomontage would be a well-known
mansion with a tent city superimposed near it, as if the homeless people are
living just outside their gate. I have image options for Trump’s Mir-A-Lago
mansion in FL and some tent city images and individual homeless people that I
would like to work in somehow.
Important political issue 2
Health Care Costs
2)
Another current political issue in the US is the
ever-increasing rise in health care costs. While the cost of health care is
rising, more and more people are becoming uninsured, even after the enactment
of the Affordable Care Act. For this image, I am thinking about using an image
of an insurance company or medical bill of some kind that has literally killed
someone. There has to be some kind of notion of the cost of healthcare so the
concept I am thinking of is an image of a person who got an insurance or
medical bill that then experiences cardiac arrest or something to that affect,
with their bill lying in their hands.
Important political issue 3
Social Security
3)
An issue in the US is social security and whether
or not the age to collect social security should be raised. My thought on this
image would be that of someone celebrating a retirement party but the person is
clearly a lot older than anyone who should still be working. A candidate for
the picture would be the woman from Japan who had celebrated her 116th
birthday.
