Buddhist burning
This photo must be taken in Vietnam, on 11th June 1963. The person who takes this photo was Malcolm Browne.
In this photo I can see a Buddhist man burning himself. He did this action to bring attention to the repressive polices of the Catholic regime. This man must be endured the pain that felt his body burning. He may be does that because he isn’t agree with something that was happening in his society. The people that are surrounding him must be affected and surprised about what was happening. He may be was burned with gasoline.
In conclusion, sometimes the people make strange actions to rebel what they are thinking or to rebel that they aren’t agree with something. So, I think that it’s important to talk to get an agreement.
