Reading Reflection 1
In the video titled Wry Photos that Turn Stereotypes Upside Down, artist Uldus Bakhtiozina has made the wise use of a number of photographs to poke fun at the norms of the Russian society (Bakhtiozina). At the first glimpse, I felt that a lady wearing dark outfits and heavy accessories is about to share the secret of her beauty. However, the way Uldus has talked about social norms is quite interesting and informative. Just like other states, Russia is a place with diverse cultures and traditions, and artists of this country have always come up with appealing paintings and artworks, and I, as an art student, can learn a lot from their styles and ideas.

Ash Beckham’s talk has touched my heart. He opens up about what happened to him and then encourages the audience to stand for their rights. When I try to apply the ideas to my own life, I get to know that things can never go smoothly. Sometimes life brings to us a lot of happy moments, and sometimes we have to face the challenges. I have always tried to cope up with the issues courageously. Beckham says that the only way to succeed is to step out of the closest (Beckham), which is indeed a good and wise message. Those who experience hardships should not give up and instead need to continue working hard.

Personally, I think that attitude can never let us succeed in any field. Sasha’s Generosity Experiment creates awareness among people like me regarding how important it is to be cooperative and polite.

Liza Donnelly lives in New York City but is famous the world over for her cartoons (Donnelly). In this video, she shares her portfolio of funny and wise cartoons of modern life. Throughout the video, she encourages women to empower themselves. As a college student, I realize that how important it is for me to seek knowledge, to pass the exams, and to be friendly with everyone. I want to be a businesswoman after completing my studies, and I feel that Liza’s talk about the power of women has a lot to learn from.
