The similarities humans share with other primates and mammals allow for the testing, experimenting, and hopefully benefiting of the human race. Our technology is advancing in such a way that soon in the future, many of the issues that humans have will be solved through animal testing.

Brian Scott Ostrom, having served four years as a reconnaissance marine and having deployed to Iraq twice, returned home only to become one of many that suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or major depression. The effects of PTSD and/or depression after being discharged begin to take over these people's lives, from locating and retaining employment to maintaining healthy relationships. This photo depicts the struggle that many face after serving for one's country and how haunting memories of his or her service can continue to consume his or her mind.

Gold Miners nos. 1139 and 5122

Interpretive Statement:
This photo and the many others taken by Margaret Bourke White were the first to expose South Africa’s apartheid to the american public. The apartheid and racism had plagued South Africa for 3 centuries prior to its first exposure in the beginning of the cold war era. This photo documents the oppression and the enslavement experienced by almost all africans in South Africa, not just gold miners #1139 and 5122.
