Images of War
Okubo and Takei
U.S. operated prison encampments for Japanese citizens were unclean and limiting from the years leading into WW1 & WW2 and beyond. Aside from the physical hardships of being placed there, its concept took an emotional, societal, and psychological toll on them.
Okubu and Takei's approach to the prior accounts are expressed as graphic novels so as to grant ease of accessibility to their readers and simultaneously reach more age brackets. The opposite occurs with Phan Thi's account of her experience as her photo was nonconsensual and meant to be graphic to detail her horrific burns.

The mentioning of Foucault and Biopolitics as a testament to the modern "trinity" that the human life exists in; power, politics, and biology. The exploration of natural law vs. positive law and what that looks like in the scope of human rights potentially being at risk of confiscation.

Oishi
His method of a memoir achieved the goal of conceptualizing identity, reflections, experience of the "other", as well as introspection. His work mainly raised awareness and ponderance of double consciousness and the exposure of racism and prejudice.
Keenan, Phan Thi, Iakovlenko
Iakovlenko's article with the picture of a dead soldier's hand was relayed as a way to prove what atrocities had occurred due to the Russian war. Phan Thi as the "Napalm Girl" had her picture used as well to highlight the immediate result of using weapons of mass destruction against bystanding civilians. Keenan makes equal positive and negative points about wartime images being used in the mainstream media or journalism in general that can be successful in raising awareness about people suffering in events like those as well as misconstrued information that can result in performative activism.

Oppenheimer, Benjamin, & Hersey
These readings held an overall critique to violence through an analysis of Oppenheimer's fatal invention of the atomic bomb and its impact on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An exploration of how, if at all, the means would justify the end.
