Sir, I have always known the impact of images to a person’s mind but it never occurred to me to write an article about it. Images—one word, well, one picture says it all. It leaves a mark that lives through time, whether significant or not. My memory works a lot like a microfilm. I first decide for a time then the images flash through my mind. Although there are times that I remember insignificant parts of it only. For example in a lesson I previously learned, I will remember that it was during that lecture that I slept in class and got a scolding from my teacher. However, I won’t remember the very essence of that lecture. I like the way that the article is brief yet informative.

I definitely agree on your article, sir. Images really create a big impact to one’s life especially during younger years when one becomes very engrossed in looking at different pictures. Children use them to better understand things around them and to easily learn and adapt to their surroundings. Images give an individual a broader understanding to the real world we live in. They make our world a better place to enjoy and to have fun. However, they also bring harm to innocent minds. They open the minds of children to the wicked world we live in and bring fear to their parents for these things might push these earthlings to do evil.

I believe that your article will help a lot of people to be critical in choosing what images to look at and that they will be more aware on what images bring to their lives.

Marian, you are correct when you said that images are both constructive and destructive. This is the reason why media literacy is very important so that media consumers will be protected from the harmful effects of media. Keep on reading. Keep on writing. Cheers!

Sir, I totally agree with what you have written. Images come in different kinds and forms, but all of them bring along influences to our lives. The power they possess is both constructive and destructive, depending on the circumstances. The way we understand images, react and respond towards them causes the drastic changes in our lives.

Your article kindled a profound interest in me. It was an excellent piece. I truly admire your style of writing, Sir.

You have an interesting view point on this. While I agree for the most part that images can more easily corrupt, there are examples of trashy books and magazines that have more of a detrimental affect on a person. I think that in general, any art form that causes a person to think and form their own opinion is a positive thing, and any that tries to imprint another person’s views and opinions directly is a negative thing.
