Comparing Images

Choose one image from our book Si, Se Puede! Yes, We Can!  What does the image represent? (For example: A woman, a mother, a janitor, etc.)  Find another image with a similar label on the Internet.  Compare the two images.  Does one image show a more positive representation than the other?  Do the images stereotype or challenge stereotypes?
 

Image 1: Mama says goodnight to Carlitos before she goes to work.






Image 2: Mama cleans the offices.

 Image 4: The janitors organize a strike.
