ch 23 Visual sources pg 1182-1187

The visual source i chose for chapter 23 is source 23.3 on pg 1186 and in the picture it is a staue of a skull mask wearing a black coat and under that a guy holding a sign that says " Free to exploit peope and Nature trade" and the guy is sticking out his tongue while doing the peace sign. this photo represents economic globalization. and it created movements of resistance and criticism across the world. people rioted against the government removing subsidies, raised prices on essential products, frozen salaries, or cut on social services. protestors directed their anger towards international financial institutions. In the picture the protestor was angry in the seattle protests against the 1999 gathering of the world trade center Organization. I like this picture over the others because it is an in the moment picture expressing how many everyday people have reacted to what is going on and how they show their fight and anger.
