the importance and/or limitations of media imagery of human suffering.

Let the atrocious images haunt us. Even if they are only tokens, and cannot possibly encompass most of the reality to which they refer, they still perform a vital function.

Don’t forget.’ (Sontag, 2003, p. 102) Taking this statement as a starting point, develop an argument addressing the importance and/or limitations of media imagery of human suffering.
