Video: Both sides of the story Above is a picture of the artwork on the back of a book of 12 FRENCH postage stamps. I thought it might make an interesting dinner time conversation for the family! Activity: Without conferring, set a 3-minute timer and ask your family to write down what they see in the above picture. What is the message the picture is trying to convey?
On this picture there are 3 levels of protection hence three levels of perceived threats. Bin man is wearing almost a Hazmat suit or so called full PPE (although FFP3 mask is missing). That suggests that he is possibly dealing with the highest level of threat. Interestingly bin men usually have the least contact with the public and mostly deal with emptying waste - why such a hazard?
That could be justified if he would be dealing with biological waste - like blood, urine, human tissue? Otherwise normal household waste is hardly that hazardous. Yet he wears the most of PPE. Also notice how crazy that would be to work extremely difficult job of this kind with such level of additional equipment that restrains in many ways.
Post lady has more interaction with people yet her “protection” is less. She is mainly operating outside where risks are minimal - yet she wears the mask. Why? Does she wear a mask when it rains?
At last a farmer appears to be very content and strong on that picture. He is portrayed around people yet he does not wear a mask. Why is he the only one not to wear one? Farmers also deal with people, possibly even more often than bin men. So the whole picture is a bit of a mix of contradictory messages. In one way it supports the official narrative but on the other hand there is mismatch between those two that try to protect themselves and him who appears to be the main point of focus. Also farmer is the one who feeds them all.
All in all this reminds me of WW2 propaganda posters and communism nonsense. I have seen same kind of stuff in communism museum. Add a few statues of Lenin, Stalin and Breznev (possibly now Gates, Zuckenberg and Bezos).
