This is a art assignment I have and was hoping to get some help in getting some ideas of what could describe our society now. I can only use pictures, no words in this assignment. Zeitgeist is german for spirit of the now, I need images that would give the viewer of these images an idea of the times we live in today. And I cannot do it on sports, anything else is fine though. So like whats popular in entertainment, the news, t.v., and music, and politics, things like that. So if anyone has any ideas for me please give some specific ideas of what kind of images I should look for. Thanks for the help! :)


Answer
I guess an obvious option would be to browse through modern photo magazines like Life, National Geographic, etc. or search Yahoo images using keywords like âcurrent eventsâ. You might also consider throwing in a Spencer Tunick photo, just for fun â and his work does carry at least some spirit of the times. He recently won a case in the US Supreme court that made it possible for him to do his work legally in the US. Just search Yahoo images for his name. I donât know if the link below will work, but it shows a lot of samples of his work. (It is just that page that came up when I searched on his name).

How do you feel that the Iranian President Ahmadinejad got elected in Iran?

There were lots of protests going on in Iran as I saw the news. Sadly, there were some fatalities involved and lots of people injured from fighting.

What are you feelings towards that?



Answer
Fight for your freedom Iranians. Freedom to Iran.
The iranian government have constantly ignored Obama's helping hand to them,, it's no ones fault but their own. The iranian people don't want this, they want better relations with the west. They want freedom and freedom shall come soon.
Like Obama said, the protesters 'have been an
inspiration across the world'. It is their duty to stand up and fight for themselves and finally they are taking control of their rights. There voices will be heard. Now is the time. The time for change and freedom.

Look at these shocking pictures of riots and protests coming from inside Iran:

Internet services blocked, Cell phone access blocked, websites like facebook, youtube, and yahoo messenger have all been blocked.
Western Journalists are being arrested and having their tapes seized from them. Iranians need to know what's going on in their own country. The government have ordered the foreign media to leave at once. They have banned all forien journalists from reporting in Iran. No filming or photographing is allowed. And without reporters on the streets, the militia force are allowed to be brutal to the iranian people. People have been shot and killed. All this under the brutal regime.

Claims that Mousavi WON the election:

The majority of iranians oppose Ahmadinejad. They want freedom in their country and not a religious dictatorship and now they are finally taking this opportunity to stand up and fight for their rights no matter how long or how much it will take. The support from many across the world is overwhelming. They are not alone, The whole world is watching them. They have the support of many across the world.
You can keep uptodate with news regarding the situation on Twitter. I like many other people, have been posting links regarding information about what is happening inside Iran as because as you know they are being prevented access with information to the outside world.
Internet services blocked, Cell phone access blocked, websites like facebook, youtube, and yahoo messenger have all been blocked.

They deserve their voices to be heard and deserve there rights to protest without being murdered by this evil and corrupt regime led by, as many call, "the new satan" or Hitler-Ahmadniejad. They need to know. The world needs to know. And the amount of passion and courage they have shown is unbelievable. People risking their lives and being killed just by standing up and making themselves heard.

Keep up to date with the iran riot from people inside Iran on Twitter:

Spread the word and help the the people of iran. Fight for freedom.!

You do know the media is beign controlled by the government in Iran. They are preventing western journalists and the media from reporting and have even cut internet and cell phone acces from within Iran. People of Iran are being prevented access with information to the outside world. THEY NEED TO KNOW what's going on inside their own country!

Ahmadinejad is CORRUPT. The elections were rigged, a fraud. Down with the dictator.
toward a free democratic Iran.
Shame on Ahmadinejad.
The Iranian fascist government has deployed the Lebanon Hezbollah and the Basij thugs to do their dirty work for them. Down with the dictators. Death to Ahmadinejad and his supporters. Long live democracy. Salute to freedom. Long live Iranian activists
