Can someone explain just what is disturbing, the child is holding onto his finger, my dad had huge hands and it was how a small hand could gain some sense of security while out in the city, and here the child is listening to some - presumably - music on his earphones. Couple that with what looks like a substantial hold-all on the guys shoulder I'd say there is not much to be disturbed about - except the apparent subjective prejudice.

 

I have seen some photos here under the title of City Sickness, perhaps that would best describe the responses.

Disturbing at first glance - unless you have a crystal ball (not you personally), this image can obviously be read in many very different ways, i can see nothing prejudicial in that. I see it as a thought provoking image.

Adam,

one can see here many stories. These stories are a result of our minds being influenced by our cultural values. If being confronted with an unusual sight we try to find a match in our storage of categories. Apart from all those thoughts it is a good picture with an associative potential. Thanks for sharing it for a discussion.
