Representation: 'The Mob's Brief Rule'

Letter to editor the mob's brief rule from Ms Olive

Looking at the photo of the young man being restrained by a riot police officer (see introduction PowerPoint), the picture paints a very different story to what actually happened as told by the blonde lady in the photo. This is representation. A person, group of people, an event, a place, presented to an audience in a particular way. This is an example of how certain words and images, taken out of context can affect opinions.
