Aylan, the Syrian Boy

   This story is a newsworthy story. It has proximity,  location,  prominence and most importanly human interest. The fact that the story is a true story based on sorrow and reality,  the story is news worthy.  It is appealing to our emotions which makes is controversial. The images are devasted to be publicised. Reporters in charged of taking out these pictures are heartless. However,  if it was not because of this images, I wouldn't be here writing about this. 

   It was something ethical from reporters taking out the pictures,  nonetheless,  where are the moral values? This was not the appropriate way of showing the world the different wars between countries. Posters or information could have had replaced the images.  

   There is something important that highlights the story.  The first picture shown is where Aylan has a beautiful smile.  What this means is that this little boy had hopes for life. He looks happy. This specific picture says that this happiness and hopes Aylan had were the ones he should had have as a young man. His wings to fly were cut off in the blink of an eye. This image has a lot of sense and power that it was a good idea having it first. 

   What i want to take out of this is that life can be taken without explanations.  Life can be taken away from innocent people and yet were are still with crossed hands.  We do not need to wait for this images to be posted so that we take action. Where is our human interests and values? Where is our moral obligation? Think about the possibilities you can give to the innocent children. Act now before you lament forever...

P. S.  This is a really sad and devastating story.
