Before I get in school I cannot understand the reason and types of photos were
published in TV, and internet. My father is a professor in media and he explained to me
that there are some articles may affect that catch people’s attention and there are a lot of
articles focuses on results, and facts not words. Emotional pictures could affect people
in the other side of the world. Social media is getting in every person holding a phone,
so its more like daily routine use. Posting private self portraits to the public damages
peoples lives when it get into people privacies; the consequences lead to a ending
relationships, and also, it gives experiences. Both writers tried in their articles to give a
message through the stories and the studies they are giving. Also the authors gave
really important reasons that touch humans feelings.
In the “The Photo Felt Around the World” is written by Joe Strupp. In April 1995, in
Oklahoma City, a tragic bloody bombing; Charles H Porter took a picture of a
firefighter doing his job and the photo spreads around the states (484-487). In the “What
Your Selfies Say About You” by Peggy Drexler. A Texas mother, Kimberly Hall saw an
underage girl posting her selfies online. And how self portraits could lead to a danger
relationship (383-385).
Evidence and context is circle of the articles and its not the same, and the clearer the
more professional the article would be, and great evidence the easier it convinces. In the
first article “What Your Selfie Say About You” the context kind of took a research and
reflection style, like giving hints about relationships, personal life, and how a post
would effect you personally. For instance, the writer brought a research to support his
side, and also, shows peoples a reality involvement about the cases. “Saabeth” gave
example of her personal experience, how did she got married and how her life is going
(485). Moreover, it creates an antithesis for readers. on the one hand, the second article
“A Photo Felt Around the World” Joe Strupp uses a method of facts and results for the
audience. For example, Joe Strupp mentioned in the article that the photo he captured
created a debates, and after that it became a viral picture which most news papers
started to publish it around the states (484-487). Context of Joes article is more like a
novel and actions. So here are the two types of contexts in the articles. Each writer has
to provide an evidence and examples to convince the reader. Joe Strupp uses the
newspapers actions as an evidence to support his point. For instance, “100 calls form
people to about the kid’s situation” (486). And also, the reflections from the public are
the same. “What Your Selfie Say About You” Peggy gives great evidences, like bringing
families reflections, subject results, and studies about the issue (384). Yet, there are
many differences between these two articles such as purpose, language, and audience.
Every article has been written by an author should have a purpose to the readers.
And when a writer wants to convince his audience, explain, or have a concept should
be aware before starts writing his article. For example, in the first article “what selfie say
about you” Peggy Drexler had a purpose which is to wake the parents up before they
felt in mistakes (383-385). This purpose was mentioned in the whole article. For
instance, the writer said, “and finally I realized, well, how can I expect others to pay
attention to what is happening in my life” (385). In contrast, the second article, “The
photo felt around The world” wrote by Joe Strupp had a different purpose than first
article which creates an emotional words and facts to clarify his point to the reader. For
example, in the article, “The Photo Felt Around The World” Joe Strupp talked about the
purpose of his article; “Different newspapers discussed how they should use such an
emotionally-charged picture, and after its publication, many readers called to ask what
happened to the baby” (484-485). The point is the picture he took made a big change in
his region. So, its like someone have something to say but he don’t have way to say it.
Equally important, language is the chain of the article; it makes the reader follow
point by point, when a reader gets in the article and feel it. The writer language made
that well developed writing. In the first article, “What Your Selfie Say About You” the
language of the author uses, is giving an examples and facts that could be suffers in
your own family and you do not know. So the writer “Peggy Drexler” started the article
with a really sensitive case “Teenage girls prone to taking and posting self-portraits on
social media.” That language to the reader helped making him think of the picture was
posted, so it is kind of great to get attention. And kept talking about the sequences, and
the results. Also, before the article ended, Peggy brought a study research from U.K
(383-385), to support her point. As well as, the second article “The Photo Felt Around
The World” Joe S talks about a journalist story, who captured a photo and the photo
used in a lot of newspapers around the states. Joe Strupp the author writes the article
point by point. For example, each paragraph starts with once, then, ironically. So the
point by point style has the same thing with the first article. “The Photo Felt Around the
World” used an emotional language to support itself (484-487). And also, the “What
Your Selfie Say About You” has the same technique of language storytelling; case and
result, and action after action (383-385).
Audience is the most important side of anything. Audience judge, think. Like , or
dislike. So, there are articles is easy to understand, and some articles no one
understands it but professors, and there are a lot of articles all ages feels easy to
understand it. For example, Peggy Derxler starts her first three words “EARLIER THIS
WEEK” (383) with a capital letter which makes it like an intro to novel or like a narrator.
From my experience, these kind of starting articles or journals means that there is
something massive behind it because it is not a story. Equally, Joe Strupp started his
article with “Bank clerk Charles H. porter took a picture of a firefighter cradling a
burned infant” (484). The audience got into the article feelings because of the hook of
the writer. Audience always like facts and examples, when people started to call and
ask for the baby’s situation, (486). Furthermore, the first article “What Your Selfie Say
About You” audience could be more parents than all type of people, but the second
article “The Photo Felt Around the World” all types of audience, not specific age or type
of people.
I prefer Both articles “The Photo Felt Around the World” by Joe Strupp and
“What Your Selfie Say About You” by Peggy Drexler for many reasons; Joe Strupp uses
a great language for readers. Also, “Peggy” uses the experiences as an element to
describe her case. When I start to read I would like to know what is happening. Also,
the first article “What your selfie Say about You” I can understand the plot for giving
details, information, and reflections (383). Both articles were emotionally, and reality,
and each article used a way of telling the points facts and examples.
To sum up, Context and evidence should be more clear to the reader for feeling
well convinced. Context gives readers needs and evidence holds the idea in reader’s
head. both articles have similarities and differences, both articles have a reason, solving
social issue, and also, shows how how emotions could cross the states. Language was
used provides the elements of the author, Evidence, is the most important thing in the
article to keep the idea stays in reader’s minds. My opinion the difference does not
make the article better, but it makes each article easier and understandable. Joe and
Peggy shows the readers how two different articles could have some similarities and
differences.

Introduction
The Middle East is a transcontinental region centered on
Western Asia. In addition, The Middle East is traditionally
defined as the Fertile Crescent Also, the Middle East are
countries are from Libya to Afghanistan, usually including
Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq,
Iran, and the Arab Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar,
Oman, and Emirates and the other countries. Populations in the
middle east follows several religions, but most religions are
followed Islam, and Christianity. And because there are
differences between the religion and history, so the political
systems are different. For example, democracy, kingdom,
republican, and more. Moreover, the Middle East is similarly
disproportionately rich in gas which means more than 31% of the
world output. Also, the middle East countries has a great amount
of Oil natural source and specifically Saudi Arabia is the first
country with Oil producing.
Most people around the world think that multi religion, and
natural resources are affecting the relationship and other
thinks even there are differences in both political systems and
religions are looking for peace in the Middle East. Is the
United States are being the one of peace creators in the Middle
East? According to Bending History is written by Martin S.
Indyk, Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Michael E. O’Hanlon mentioned
“Obama had criticized George W. Bush for only taking up the
effort to make Middle East peace in the last year of his second
term”
Is the future of the middle east getting more conflict
because of economy and religions, or the Middle East gets more
developed by uniting, provides women’s rights, and develop their
relationships. The Middle East, Why the Middle East is a
conflict area? The Middle East area is getting more conflict for
many reasons like religion disorder, economy interests from the
western countries, and political system.
Natural resources economy
The natural resources are the main conflict in the
Middle East, Oil, and Natural Gas are Concentrated in Middle
East countries. In the past years a war has started in several
countries just to takeover oil. In addition, most of the poor
countries in the Middle East has oil but the US do not let
them drill the ground. In the beginning of 1908 the first oil
well drilled in Saudi Arabia, and it was the beginning of the
development. Even if Saudi Arabia did not benefit the country
at first, but in the date they found out about the oil. Saudi
Arabia is the first and highest country in producing and
selling oil to other countries. England and America knew about
the oil before but did not mention it to the kingdom, until a
god time for them. And the same thing for most of the
countries. For example, the US according to Dying to forget,
Irene L. Gendzier,
Signs of a shift in the U.S. government’s support for
partition had a severe impact on Zionist sentiment in the
United States and in Palestine. Despite the effective
mobilization of support for partition under the umbrella of
the Zionist Emergency Council in the past, Zionist leaders
in Palestine rapidly concluded that additional action was
required. The results surpassed expectations: Washington
did not abandon partition in favor of trusteeship. Jewish
Agency representatives established relations with one of
the leading figures in the vast oil bureaucracy, the
director of the Oil and Gas Division of the Interior
Department, thereby challenging a long-standing taboo. In
the winter of 1948, the Jewish Agency mobilized its efforts
to assess how to respond most effectively to the crisis in
U.S. policy. Jacob Robinson, the legal adviser and
counselor to the Israeli Delegation at the UN, warned that
there was a related risk that could affect the future of
American Zionists in the United States. Those identified
with a cause viewed as inimical to U.S. interests, such as
the feared loss of U.S. oil in the Middle East and its
implications with regard to the European Recovery Plan,
risked being labeled un-American, with the attendant
stigma.
So, the US is getting in every detail with businesses. For
instance, back to 1990 When Kuwait got invaded by Saddam
Hussain, and when the US offered Kuwait’s president a support;
they put Saudi Arabia in the condition that they have to accept
US business products and US business in Saudia. This example
exposes how the scamper fabricate an issue to fit them selves
into a business, or to create a conflict in a country to exploit
other countries for their own businesses. on the other hand,
maybe the Middle East countries monopolize the oil business
around the world. In his journal, America, Oil, and War in the
Middle East, Toby Craig Jones, exposes how natural sources are
effecting the relationships between countries in the Middle
East, back in the mid 1980s Kuwait requested a protection
contract from the United States and the Soviet Union to protect
themselves from the Iranian attack because of oil tankers
(Jones).
This shows how far businesses could lead relationships
to a wars and blockade. Under these issues there is a point
behind relationships, not because of natural sources lead to
war, but also, different religions could be the same.
Religion
Religions in the Middle East are various and there are a lot of
religious people stringent, so time by time each religion follow
a path until it fell and got conflicted in the area, but Since
Prophet Mohammed came to the world with his message of Islam,
all people listened to him and follow his values, like good
thinking, giving advices, being union, and a lot of his ethics.
Going more deep, in Islam there are a conflicts between to Islam
paths Shiaa and Suna. For instance, Bardaji mentioned in his
article “The relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran have been
conditioned by many factors, from the religious divide between
Shia and Sunni interpretations of Islam to the regional role
played by external forces, such as the US“ (Bardaji 87). The
relationships between countries are pausing on account of the
religion differences. Moreover, Christianity religion has the
same values, but then, when the politics covered the religions,
people and governments wants to protect their side from losing
their businesses, so religions became the weak ring. In
addition, the Middle East region of the world is a good example
of why religious tolerance alone cannot and will not reduce
religious-based conflict. Furthermore, even if there are some
differences between religion beleifs, people can live and be
flexible. In the book of Allah Quraan, “surat AlHujarat”
“أَيُّ َها يَا

God created males and females and tribes to know each other and
having peace. To the contrary, it gives the paramount support
for the Center’s approach, going beyond tolerance to attack this
problem.
So, the world must go forward by, among other things,
emphasizing education in the direction of teaching the value of
finding and emphasizing those common threads of similarity of
religions rather than emphasizing the differences – though they
certainly exist. Religion plays a role in political decisionmaking in virtually all Middle Eastern countries, but in very
different ways.
Political system
The political system in the middle east is based on
religion, which is Islam. In some countries, which could give
political influence to many different parties. In the book of
War and State Building in the Middle East, Rolf Schwarz
Demonstrates the state of the middle eastern region. Schwarz
addresses the strength and weakness of government regimes.
Natural resources are the main business material to power the
government and push them into power; and also, natural resources
guarantee the profit and raise the government central. As a
result, there are a little reliance upon domestic taxation and
general lack of political accountability and transparency (86).
Politics is the power of the Middle East, and it also, creates
issues and conflicts in some countries. The types of political
systems in the middle east
Conclusion
To sum up, in the last 30 years the middle east is grasping
more conflict in several ways, Religion, Businesses, and
Political systems. Dealing with other regions on the other side
of the world are affecting the Middle East regime by dismantling
relations; and simplify the way for the westerns to get their
commitments. Although there are a great amount of differences
and conflicts the Middle East is being union in someway.
