Kourtney, Peter, Jason, Sina S.: Visual Analysis

The photo link: www.ulmhawkeyeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/soccer-vs-football.jpg

The photo shows the divide between American football and soccer, which is also known as football internationally. In the image, the football player is trying to catch the ball and the player but is about to miss. The football player is showing the aggressive nature and physicality of the sport while the soccer player is more calm. At the same time the soccer player is continuing forward without showing signs that he is going to fall. Americans tend to place our culture and ideas in the forefront, where in reality things are different. To Americans, football is a large part of the culture, where to the rest of the world football is something completely different, but American society is almost ignorant to that fact.
