The Struggles Sudan

Think Creatively! :

There are a number of creative techniques that I used in this collage. In the middle of the collage I placed the memoir a fire coming from all of he surrounding sides. This represented the cruelty that the migrants were faced with. The picture of the people walking, as they get closer to the foreground of the picture they increase in size, this shows the growth that these people have made and how they are now stronger both mentally and physically. As they get bigger they build their confidence and become stronger for their friends and families in their tribes that are relying on them to succeed.

Reason Critically! :

To show my understanding of the conflict I placed multiple phrases, and pictures of what the Sudanese had overcome in Sudan and what they had trouble with. Towards the middle of the collage there is a boy with little to eat but as you get to the boarders of the picture there is a lot more food. The outcome of this disadvantage was a better lifestyle, of nutrition. The disasters that they were faced with in Sudan were then healed when they migrated to the refugee camp, they were safer and happier, since they were in an environment where they could trust for safety. The Sudanese people knew that this new environment was more stable than the tribes that they were living in before they were forced to migrate.

Communicate Effectively!:

I wanted to make sure that my audience will understand the reasoning of this collage, which was to raise awareness of the Sudanese Civil war. I used the statement “its Heaven or Hell” I thought this will help share the empathy of the people in Sudan to average people, the aim of this was to expand the audience's knowledge of how difficult people are living their lives. It also shows how the Sudanese people feel about America, and their feelings about America and Sudan. They think of America as heaven, Sudan as Hell, since there is a lot of war and conflict, but they soon find out that America is just as hard as Sudan.

Live Ethically!

My main goal in this collage was to share the empathy of how the Sudanese are struggling with very little inspiration, and hope to a better lifestyle. Using the knowledge that I have learned from this study of the Dinka Tribe I was able to communicate to the audience using pictures to express the struggles that the Sudanese people had to go through. To demonstrate this message I added pictures of people crying, faces with hope, and faces that show happiness. This shows how they have come over many hurdles in their life. I thought this would evoke the audience if they could experience the empathy of the Sudanese people. The accomplishments of the southern Sudanese have made will keep increasing with the help and commitment that the communities outside of Sudan.
