【この写真のメッセージ】

　世界に拡大した「大恐慌」の影響は、第2次世界大戦という最悪の結果を生む。それは世界中に無数の災厄(さいやく：disaster）をもたらし、何千万もの人々の命を奪い、ついに、日本に落とされた二発の原爆で集結した。たった一つの国の経済問題が世界中の経済を狂わせ、戦争を引き起こす。たった一つの国の人々の欲望（よくぼう：greed, desire）が、ここまで世界を不幸にすることができる。この写真は、そんな世界の真理を私たちに語っているように思う。

 

【この写真を選んだ理由】

　私自身が、被爆地（a city which has been atom-bombed）広島に住み、そこにある学校に通い、「原爆ドーム」（原子爆弾が落とされた場所のすぐ側にあった建物が奇跡的に倒壊（とうかい：collapse）を免れ（まぬがれ：escape）、今も記念碑（きねんひ）として保存されている）も何度も見た。私にとって、広島は戦争や平和のことを考える機会を持った特別な場所である。いまだに多くの人々がその後遺症（こういしょう：aftereffect）に苦しんでいることも知っている。そしてそんな原爆投下を招いた第2次大戦の原因の一つとして「大恐慌」があった以上、それについて考えるこの課題で、原爆の写真を選ばないわけにはいかなかったので、ここに挙げている。

COMPLETED VERSION Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride

Image
  Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride Charles Perkins was a champion for the rights and justice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and an inspirational soccer player. He has described the Freedom Ride as the “the greatest and most exciting event [he had] ever been involved with in Aboriginal affairs”. A re-enactment and celebration of the Ride’s 50 th anniversary was held by the University of Sydney in 2015. That’s just last year. The original campaign was conceived and made possible through the occurrence of the civil rights movement in the U.S in the beginning of the 1960s. The Freedom Riders, as they were called in America, saw effective media coverage but were initially slow to achieve their purpose of desegregation on buses. Despite the violence and unrest it provoked, the tradition of direct action in civil rights was formed and solutions to segregation problems were implemented. Originally, University of Sydney students demonstrating out...
