What is the issue being depicted in the photo?

The issue that is being depicted is the excessive burning of fossil fuels causing human-induced
climate change and global warming as well as air pollution by the harmful chemicals from the
combustion of such fuels

Does the photo evoke a ‘bringing forth’ or a ‘challenging forth’? Justify your claim.

The photo evokes a ‘bringing forth’ as it reveals the true extent of the problem that is being
depicted in the picture. It unmasks just how much harmful emissions such operations unleash
upon the world and instills the implicated consequences to the viewer.

What is the issue being depicted in the photo?

The subject of the photo seems to be a hydroelectric power plant and therefore highlights the race
against time to find an alternative source of energy that can replace fossil fuels on a global scale.

Does the photo evoke a ‘bringing forth’ or a ‘challenging forth’? Justify your claim.

Given the implied context that the subject entails, it can be said that is evoking a sense of
‘challenging forth’. This is because the norm is to use fossil fuels as a source of energy, and
presenting an alternative source of energy challenges this notion.
What is the issue being depicted in the photo?

The issue being depicted is the littering problem that is omnipresent in many environments
especially in urban environment which lead to general pollution to land, water, and air as well as
causing disasters such as flooding.

Does the photo evoke a ‘bringing forth’ or a ‘challenging forth’? Justify your claim.

Despite the problem that the picture implies, the main subject itself is the act of cleaning up the

and help in the cleaning efforts and the fight against littering.

The regular man often doesn’t realize what happens behind the scenes in the food they find on
their plate. They don’t realize the irony that the people who gave them such food often find

The photo therefore ‘brings forth’ the issue to the viewer.
What is the issue being depicted in the photo?

The issue being depicted is the same as the second, this time it depicts windmills which is another
method of producing energy in a renewable and sustainable manner.

Does the photo evoke a ‘bringing forth’ or a ‘challenging forth’? Justify your claim.

Similar to the second photo, it also ‘challenges forth’ the norm of using fossil fuels with the same
logic. Both pictures depict an alternative method of generating energy.

What is the issue being depicted in the photo?

The photo seems to be an aftermath of a particularly big mining operation. Its effects are laid bare
to the viewer and ensures that the sense of scale is instilled to the viewer.

Does the photo evoke a ‘bringing forth’ or a ‘challenging forth’? Justify your claim.

Mining operations is something that isn’t a common sight to the layman, therefore most doesn’t
realize just how destructive it is, and this photo ‘brings forth’ the sheer magnitude and scale of the
negative effects of mining.
