One of the highlights of today’s news is the photo op of President Obama’s and wife together with the Spanish President and his family last week during a reception at the New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. This shot has gathered opinions from the different parts of the world due to the reason that Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, his first lady Sonsoles Espinosa and daughters, Laura, 16 and Alba, 13 never have a picture published publicly. This is because of a Spanish law that prohibiting doing so.
I just feel the same way as what Meghan Mc Cain, Senator John McCain’s daughter had expressed. I had felt the pity for the two daughters Laura and Alba who have been too young to face the scrutiny of the world in such way they are not even used to. Being in front of the camera and be a big part of the issue on which the world has been arguing makes them boiling in the hot seat. I have also realized how powerful the cyberspace and internet in spreading photos and other materials such as this. I have also have also appreciate the uniqueness of every culture. That in every nation is guarded by distinctive beliefs and laws on which every race must understand and respect. This is just one great example on how to deal with racial diversity. But still, I sympathize with the two children that in their young age are exposed to this kind of controversy.
