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 was pushed by an assailant who wanted to murder him and the photographer was right by the crime scene.

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo? He said that he tried to warn the subway driver that there was a man that had fallen down.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo? It didn't seem right to me at first, but then I realized that the photographer was trying to help him survive but the subway driver couldn't stop.

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not? I don't think he did the best thing because if I was him I would have ran and tried to pick him up instead of taking pictures.

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 disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page because that is someone. I don't think the guy's family would have appreciated that.

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? I think it's more important to capture images of life as it happens to a photojournalist because being a photographer is a job and if you have an interesting picture then you would get paid higher than someone who takes pictures    of plants or hobos.

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 don't think it is because the situation he or she photographs are meant for them not to get in the situation.

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 
Yes photojournalists are trained to not get into events but are trained to just photographing the event.

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation. I thought that John Kaplan's response was the best because it was what I thought about it. Give the photographer the benefit of the doubt and that the New York Post was very wrong for putting such a cruel title for someone that died.
