This has got me thinking. How would you describe an image as "Global"?
A picture of the Eiffel Tower? Niagara falls? A new born baby? The ruins of Syria?
All of these things would be recognisable to most people, and some recognisable to all. Does that make them global though?
Are we looking for images that have global issues implied or are we looking for things most people would recognise?
This image, of a baby Orangutan sticking close to its dead parent is as tragic as you will see, but what makes it a global image? Do we assume this is a byproduct of deforestation and logging in the rainforest, which harms our environment, so making it a global issue? What do we think when we find out the image is actually from

Or does the image have to be something more familiar?
Something more familiar, something more comfortable, does that make it global?
Or are both global in different ways?
