Strength
Trees are deeply rooted into the ground,
able to withstand great forces. It takes vast effort to uproot a large tree.
Poverty
In 2015-16:
·
10.4 million
people were in relative low income BHC (16% of the population), up 300,000 from
the year before.
·
9.3
million were in absolute low income BHC (15%), down 100,000 from the year
before.

A common stereotype
aimed towards people below the poverty line is that they beg for change, or
value small, loose change greatly. Therefore small change may connote poverty.
Love
This
photo connotes love in two, somewhat vague, ways:
The glasses represent the sense of sight which - 1. along with their pink
tint (pink often being a colour associated with love) - represents the old
saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Fear
The viewer is unsure of what lies beyond the threshold between the
peaceful, beautiful woods, and the black abyss.
Desire
This
photo connotes the desire of many people to have a life filled with far more
luxury than they currently have. A life filled with, greenery, beautiful
sunsets, fresh sea air, and large homes.
Danger
This
one is clear; it’s a blade, blades are dangerous.
Wealth
People with vast sums
of wealth often collect fancy, expensive watches. While this photo may not show
the brand of the watch, or exactly what it looks like it is still clearly a
timepiece. When people think of watches, often, they think of Rolex - a brand
known for its fancy watches.
Weakness
This photo
connotes weakness because when we see things that are broken (like this stick)
we may think "that clearly wasn't strong enough for"...
Therefore a broken stick may symbolise
weakness.
There is also the belief that acting alone makes one weak, but acting together makes you all stronger. If you bundle a load of sticks together and try to snap them all at once, you’re going to have a spot of trouble; but if you take a single stick and try to snap it you, should, be able to do it with minimal effort.

Loneliness
Many
people experience hardships throughout their life, they may sometimes feel like
there is no one there to help them, they feel alone.
A common escape that these people take is 'the drink'. Many people drink
alcohol to escape their problems, becoming alcoholics and often making their
problem worse, becoming more and more alone.
Friendship
The
saying goes: "Dogs are a Man's Best Friend". People often adopt pets
into their homes to provide themselves with some sort of friendship. The
loyalty of dogs is revered throughout society, and is often an argument used as
to why dogs are better than cats.
Purity
If
reports over the last few decades are correct (which they are), then humanity
is quickly destroying the planet Earth.
When someone tells you to think of nature, what do you think of? - you
think of beauty, greenery, fresh air, and purity. There is nothing purer
on this planet than nature, and we should be working to preserve all that we
have.
Greed
The technological progress of society over the past 100 years has had significant implications on society, not all for the better. The rise if smartphones has made recent generations greedier than ever. When people have so much available to them just in their hand, they want more and more.
