Controversial Ethics in Photojournalism

Image
Everyone has ethics and morals that they follow that help them navigate through life. Morals help people make decisions like if someone in front of you drops a $100 bill, do you tell them or pick it up and keep it? This would fall under the umbrella of honesty. I think that an individual who admires honesty would give the $100 bill back to their owner. Sometimes in these situations where your morals are tested, you have to think about if the roles were reversed.

My Take on the Opioid Crisis

Help me, along with many others, stop the opioid crisis through education. Sometimes statistics do not speak to people so here is a project I created that marries statistics and photographs of the struggle experienced by opioid addicts. A source that inspired me a lot and perfectly depicts what I think will stop the opioid crisis is James Natchwey's "The Opioid Diaries."  Visit my project "My Take on the Opioid Epidemic"  to understand and learn about my view on the opioid crisis. According to Drugabuse.gov,  "Everyday more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids." According to Marketwatch.com, "A new study found that both deaths from opioid overdose and opioid prescriptions rose in areas if the country where physicians received more opioid-related marketing from pharmaceutical companies." An article on James Nachtwey's "The Opioid Diaries" read, "The result (of the crisis) is 'The Op...
