This picture is a great example of a pathos argument. This was a news article on msnbc.msn.com and it was titled "India's 'untouchables' last to be helped in floods". I could not believe that the government would actually implement the policy of saving everyone else in these flooded Indian regions before the caste of the 'untouchables'. Although the caste system has been a part of India for centuries, it is still hard to see a country value peoples lives differently. I can only assume that most peoples first reaction is that it must be horrible to be stuck on those rafts, but as i continued to read the article i realized that these people in the picture were not even the 'untouchable' class. The article continued to say that dozens of 'untouchable's' were killed and 1.2 million left homeless. The picture definitely tugs at peoples emotions, and makes most people feel sorry for the horrible situation that the flooding has brought to India. But the picture is only telling the story and both the picture and the article has no call to action or anyway for a person removed from the situation. One can only hope that the situation does not degrade.
