Inequity in Physical Activity

The regional rankings in performance examination and consequent statistics for the past three years showed that the top performers are still at the helm of academic prowess, while the poor performers continued to trail. In fact, this gap was widening as the top performers delivered more while worse performers went wayward. This fact prompted a research into the livelihoods of these two conflicting giants in order to depict the disparity and formulate a way for improving this situation and cultivating anguish behind the plight of the poor performing students. Thus, a photo analysis will be conducted by means of using pictures to depict the evidence on ground and speak for the weak.

A close reflection of the pictures depicted poor performance in close association with poverty, while good performance was conducted by the wealthy. First, the picture from the high ranking school portrays a well uniformed parade of kempt scholars. This picture looks brighter, students have happy faces; and in the background one can witness well-trimmed hedges of flowers forming avenues. This picture seems attractive to an onlooker as it is a source of curiosity of venture for one viewing the setting for the first time. In addition, this picture arouses sorrowful feelings among people not belonging to the white race as it only portrays white people (thus, the majority).

Contrary to the first image is the second picture; it depicts a poor individual trying to reach for knowledge, but all he has in possession is a torn piece of paper and a broken pencil. Moreover, the paper bears only some form of doodling, similar to a child’s way of scribbling with no intent. This implies that the author of the paper, who is the scholar in the picture, can not engage in proper literary communication. Consequently, the second picture shows the torn dress of the scholar, which forms part of the schooling attire; the learning process seems to be going on under a poorly shaded tree that forms shelter, while the man sits on bear surface.

Indeed, these two contradicting situations depict an ethical inequity, which is a form of discrepancy based on resources, especially education. Acquiring education and its consequent application do not only depend on proximity, but also availability of these resources that contribute to the well-being of the education system. For instance, the wealthy are vested with resources which are easily articulated into the learning fraternity to ensure that the learning process is enjoyable. In such cases, children have access to both research and writing materials, while those from poor parentage suffer in disgust. It is common knowledge that the highly performing schools are those with relevant resources. Consequently, the voice from the pictures would move an observer into seeing a situation of hope against hopelessness.

Analyzing the picture with uniformed scholars, it is evident that this is a well off case. It comprises well-to-do people, who would better opt for the most expensive but effective, and would even opt for the luxurious just to seek comfort against another group, which cannot even afford the cheapest. The revelation behind the environmental setup, made up of flowers, shows that the surface beneath the feet of the educated is healthy. This implies that education streamlines the management practices over the personal health in relation to the environment. Moreover, the educated seem to have sane food practices and they consume those foods that do not cause harm to personal health, thus having good decision making processes, which help in smart utilization of the environment and other related resources without depletion. That is why in schooling centers, which house wealthy students who represent quality in the pictures, there is aesthetic value attached to environmental management, which culminates in a healthy environment.

On the other hand, the scholar in the second picture represents inequality in the sense that the poor student can do nothing to improve his situation; he sits on bear ground and holds a torn piece of paper. This picture depicts ethnical inequity as the poor scholar cannot even comprehend what the writings represent, perhaps due to illiteracy, while his effort to at least scribble something beneath shows his hunger for knowledge. All these details can be translated into symbols. The true meaning of the picture is that the poor lack even the most essential resources like education, which forms the backbone of understanding human interactions with the environment. Moreover, this is the major reason why the scholar in the picture depicting hopelessness could not afford to even think of beautifying the environment around him, contrary to the first image, where there is a cacophony of flowers forming hedges.

This implies that such picture messaging is a responsive wake up call to the policy makers over the need to restructure resource allocation systems. Moreover, in the long run, such situations face the challenge with dire consequences over understanding of human beings and their interactions with the environment. The responsive measure could spur balanced performance, putting to consideration the fact that the educated have the knowledge over the effects of not being physically active. This often results in poor health due to lack of exercise, which implies that those who are not subjected to resources are more vulnerable. Consequently, the minority, which comprises colored people, considers this as the stereotypes of racism. This is from the fact that they form the majority of those with lower education background. They are also closely associated with ethnicity due to lack of the external forces affecting the genealogy of the human mind.

Such disparity in resource allocation would move the mind of the observer into being the champion of suppressing the form of social disparity, which is based on the institutional dimension of oppression, which relies on formation of policies and change in resource management practices to bring about conformity. A change in institutions management would prove the best first step of addressing such inequity. This could also rid the society of the depended forms of oppression, where the majority is favored against a minority, which is a form of discrimination. Racial discrimination is an example of a depended dimension of oppression, since those belonging not to the white race are the most despised.

In conclusion, the documentation of real life situations through pictures in relation to contradictory scenarios is helpful in creating sensitivity through conveyance of the message over the disparity in the situation and seeks redress through change in policies. For instance, remedies like equitable resource allocation could easily be displayed through picturing of conflicting situations of abject poverty versus wealth, which might help convey the messages of either quality or quantity, spurring change management practices that might bring conformity in the two states. This is essential in evading the consequences of the oppression dimensions. For example, the general belief is that illiteracy prevails among not white people, though white people can often be even poorer and less educated.
