Final Exam

Extra Credit - 

1. The man that was killed by the subway in New York, Ki Suk Han, was pushed onto the tracks by a panhandler after trying to calm him down because he was harassing another.

2. The photographer said he was trying to warn the tar in's operator by using his flash.

3. If the photographer thought he had enough time to capture one quick shot and then help Ki Suk Han, then sure, it would've been alright to take the picture, but that clearly was to the case so no, I don't think the photographer should've taken the photo.

4. No the photographer should have helped the man instead of taking the picture. If he would have helped the man step out of the tracks, he would be seen as a hero, instead he thought of himself and had to get the job done, now seen as a "vulture."

5. I completely disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of a magazine. It is incredibly unethical, they are posting a death on the cover of a magazine and it is just so wrong.

6. I feel like journalists are trained to put on a hard face and focus on just capturing the image so maybe for a very few who are more thoughtful in terms of what they are actually doing i the big picture, maybe those care about stopping things from happening but really most of these people have families and a home and they are only thinking about getting their job done.

7. It is totally acceptable for a photographer to get involved in a situation that they are photographing. If they capture a few good shots and still have the opportunity to help someone, they should do it.

8. Yes, photographers should avoid influencing events as they happen because the way I see it is, if they're gonna make something happen in order to take a picture, why don't they just go to a studio and create a fake scene like the one they want, there?

9. The response that stands out as most appropriate is  that he used a lame excuse for not helping, how is the train operator supposed to infer from flashes that he is seconds away from running someone over?
