Nudity is considered inappropriate as it shows some sort
of distraction to the public. The picture itself can attract sexual predators
and draw attention that its acceptable to photograph a young vulnerable girl in
need of help and publish it to make the story even more effective. The picture
violated the young girl’s privacy as it took away her right of keeping her body
sacred.
Even though the picture was taken many years ago and it
was only a young girl fleeing from a struck bomb, the current state of what the
picture possessed then can still have an impact on the woman’s reputation till
this day, since is still alive. Sexual repression leads to a build up of
passion and typically is a form of violence. This is mostly done through the
use of media such as Facebook, YouTube and all other networking sites.
Personally I think
the picture is given an inappropriate context as is a photography of many
children fleeing away with the presence of some soldiers but its main focus is
on the Napalm girl more than what it was suppose to capture, which is sticking
to survive from a bomb. For instance one could have just interpreted the
picture as children running away to save their lives and are escorted by
soldiers, but then it took a different turn and focused on the girls nudity. Therefore
the picture was showing a struggle of what happened in Vietnam but with an
inappropriate context.
