This is a picture of the Occupy Protests in Portland, as I've been studying economics and following the OWS movement, I wonder what they're truly protesting and if it is all worth it. I am also in an anthropology course which has shown me other sides to the economic issues which we discuss in Rizzo's class. However, after doing more of my own research I'm not sure if I agree with anyone. I know the data that Rizzo has shown us proves a lot of the common beliefs throughout America wrong, however since the beliefs are incorrect how did our economy get like this? And what are people actually protesting? This image and other images from "The 45 Most Powerful Images of 2011" made me think not only economically about the culture that we live in today, but also about how I want things to change and what information I want others to be aware of.
