1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 
The man killed by the subway was harassed and pushed into the tracks! The photographer just happened to be at the scene and was able to take the photo with flash in attempt to alert the train driver. (Photographer might have tried to help but nobody is sure). 

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?
The photographer said he took the photo with his flash to alert the train to stop, that someone was in the tracks. 

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?
Absolutely not. 

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?
No, human instinct is to help others and we need to stay true to that. I feel as though the photographer or any other by stander should have done more to help. 

5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.
I think it is such a tragic story, thing, and picture. But if he to such an incredible and once in a lifetime picture…why not post it as a memorial. 

6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?
A photojournalist job is simply to take pictures of live action…but if someone's life is seriously in danger and they will die right before your eyes and you have the opportunity to save them…but humane. 

7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.
I think it's ethically acceptable for a photographer to try and save someone...yes, i do. 

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer.
 Photojournalist should try and stay out of the scene but get inside the scene with their camera, but if nobody is helping and a person will be killed I feel they have the right as a human being to inter fear. 
9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.
Being a photojournalist doesn't give you the right to put aside ethical human behavior and morals, I feel that this picture was tragic, and I feel that the photographer didn't have any intentions of helping this man.
