The Potrayal of Masculinity

I believe, Kruger is challenging the ideology surrounding Masculinity. On the first picture, the statement is made, about the military. It says, that when you go into the army, all of these promises are made. Those who tell you about the success, don't let you know about half of the consequences that comes behind this. The challenges of staying alive, is a hard process, but the thought of being a hero seems to linger in the mind. Yeah, a person could reap the benefits of just being a hero, but is it worth putting your life a .risk? The second picture, is nothing more than a representation of disaster, and a process of figuring out the cause. When hurricane Katrina hit, I'm pretty sure there were scientists, giving different theories on the tragic event. It seems to be a crown of authority, once you discover something tragic, and not only discovering the event, but the cause of it all. The third really brings, a certain thing in my mind called prosperity. It has been said that, some people would rather die trying to become rich, that live in poverty. A masculinity things is seeking success by any means. These are all of these, different theories that fall under these pictures
