template reveiw #2

   Well I just read the article titled " Officials see slander in Uzbek photos, but artists see censorship". It was a pretty interesting article and much much different from the one we read yesterday. So it's time to answer the questions.


   Question 1) Give an overveiw of the article. Well this article is about a woman named Umida Akhmedova who went to uzbekistan to take some photos of the people there. She takes pictures of kids with sad faces and ragged clothing, or adults who are begging for a second chance and none of the people in the photos are bathed. The government sees these photos and she goes to court with a sentence of 3 years on the line. luckily the goverment show simpathy and lets her get away with no prison.


   Question 2) what are key points in the article? well one good point you should pay attension to is that she gets sentenced to jail for something as simple as picures, also that she gets away with no jail time.


   Question 3) What did i find striking or interesting about these points? Well I find it striking that she got away with no fines. Ussualy if the court is sentencing her to prison they dont change their minds.


   Question 4) how relevant would this be if it happned to you? well I dont think it would be very relevant because althogh I do enjoy photography I dont really do much of it


   Question 5) What do i agree or disagree with in this article? well i agree with the picures being spectacle and bad but I dont agree with the zero prison time.


   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? Well it makes me realize that people in general should really pay attension to what could happen to them in the future if they make the decisions that they make.


   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could i look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Well for this I'm going to have the same answer as the last reveiw, try to stay with the news and find some sort of blog that talkes about this.
