Essay #4 Prompt: Images of Crisis and Resilience
Overview. Essay #4 engages with Envision in Depth, Chapter 12, “Crisis and
Resilience.” This chapter focuses the reader on essays about our understanding of local
and global crises being mediated through pictures and text. In other words, the chapter
asks us to analyze how we connect with and empathize with a crisis when we were not
present or personally affected by the crisis. It also teaches us how to analyze a
photographic composition, and the importance of fact-checking. Crisis also begs
other questions such as what are the limits of our empathy and the prevalence of
“compassion fatigue”? What images move us in an age of technology with a 24/7 news
cycle? What are the ethical responsibilities of “citizen journalists”? These are the “big
picture,” critically engaged questions circling Chapter 12, “Crisis and Resilience,” but for
the purposes of practicality, the prompt will focus specifically on images of crisis AND
resilience.
You will be asked to deploy analytical skills with news photography and to make an
argument about how photojournalism can enhance our response to crisis, and to also
select reparative images that show resilience or bouncing back from a crisis situation.
(Note: please do not put “shock” photos in the essay. You can use description skills
instead by describing an image that is particularly gruesome.)
Prompt: Consider your selected crisis event and analyze what visually “witnessing”
meant/means for this crisis. Did the event require photojournalism and/or “citizen”
journalism? How did the photojournalism or “citizen” journalism impact the event in
terms of awareness, education, and outreach? How can photographs and news
journalism help communities reconcile with tragic events while beginning a recovery
process?
Requirements:
● Event must have occurred during or after 2022 (2022 – current)
● Thesis driven; thesis should relate to the topic of visual witnessing,
photojournalism, and/or citizen journalism
● Provide extended definitions for “crisis” and “resilience” in your own words; do
not use dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster, etc. (refer to the definition lab
activity)
● Length: 5.5 pages (halfway down page six)
● Provide sufficient background and context about the crisis such as economic
and human costs, events leading up to the crisis, and the aftermath of the crisis
where a community comes together to help resolve the problem
● Research: Background and context are very research-driven; use the library
databases and advanced Google searches to find scholarly sources to cite in the
body of the essay and Works Cited page
● Minimum of 5 sources cited in the body of the essay and on the Works Cited
page (This includes two documented photographs)
● A counterargument/opposing viewpoint and refutation (a few sentences long or a
paragraph in length)
● Include a minimum of TWO images: one of “crisis” and one of “resilience” (MAKE
SURE THE IMAGES ARE LEGITIMATE – REFER TO THE VIDEO LECTURE)
● Include the images integrated into the essay with captions (pictures should take
up no more than ½ to ¾ page of the essay length)
● Use MLA style for page formatting, in-text citations, and Works Cited page
● Use frequent transitions from thought-to-thought and paragraph-to-paragraph
● Include a Works Cited page (failure to include a W.C. page will result in an
“incomplete” or temporary 0 grade)
● Have less than 15% match on turnitin.com plagiarism detection software; no
portions of the essay may have been written using A.I. (artificial intelligence)Essay #4 Prompt: Images of Crisis and Resilience
