If you read my previous blog this is the photo that jogged my memory of this chapter because my class actually spent a lot of time discussing this photo. Even today I am still not sure why but I find this picture visually stimulating and pleasing. The photo has a lot going on from the issue of gender equality, to agriculture, to a little of industrialization, the differentiation between generations (the elders, the average adults, and the children), and as well as communism obviously. One thing I did take away from some of the visual documents in this chapter was how women are portrayed. Women are under sexualized and usually not given any womanly features. So it really illustrated how sexuality was not encouraged or in a sense not endorsed.
