Q3 .Napalm girl

media fluency consists of two parts listening and leveraging ,listening is being able to verbalize the message and leveraging is finding the applicable medium for your message using audience,ability and criteria as guidelines.

The napalm girl is seen running away from a commotion going on during the Vietnamise war .the little child is so distraught and fearful for her life she flees the scene in nothing but the skin on her body . In terms of inappropriate communication this picture could be seen as a violation of privacy but within the context of this picture it sets the tone of trying to send a more serious and true image of some  of the events that occured during the war. in my opinion the picture was meant to expose the world to the horrors going on in the world around them and not to expose the napalm girl.
