    1. Ethical concerns of specific images: - Children Fleeing a Napalm Strike; The image that was shown to the public had 3 soldiers, that were helping the children escape, cropped out. - The next image I will focus on two ethical concerns raised by it: Death of a Loyalist; This image was in question because many were skeptical that Robert Capa didn’t even take the picture, but it was his girlfriend Gerda Taro.
