...JH Prof. J.TL ARH 107 April. 9, 2013 Henri Cartier-Bresson Introduction If there has been a personification of photojournalism, the best attribute goes to Henri Cartier–Bresson by all means. This legendary photographer’s contribution in the field of filming the scenes into stills is a perfect reference for almost all the brilliant hands that worked behind camera from the very time he encrypted the depth of this creative art. It is needless to say that the lovers of the art of photo shooting and the audience across the world have equally praised his glory that stretched throughout the twentieth century. Any amount of congratulation and the height of honor bestowed to his creative craftsmanship will not be sufficient to reflect his excellence and dedication in this fine art. This biography tries to make a journey through his life that was all about making a history of photography with outstanding moments of achievements from the rarest events in the chronicle of world politics and his revolutionary vision in the future of photojournalism.

...a manager learns to “get a handle on a problem,” and it occurs at an almost subconscious level. Although there is a mystique or magical power associated with this talent, skilled leaders and managers develop this trained knack for reading situations to allow them to properly diagnose and solve problems in organizational life. Everyone can learn to read organizations. Seeing through to the truth needs patience more than activity. True “seeing” allows managers to break out of their traditional habits, look at the world through different eyes, to question old ways of finding solutions. To “see” is to find new ways to look at, think about, understand, and portray the world you see through your research lens. Legendary photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson coined the phrase, “the decisive moment,” meaning the moment when the subject and its significance come together for a split second. His talented, practiced eye recognized those fleeting moments. In our book, we also help you see the decisive moment through a trained capacity to plan, acquire, analyze, and disseminate insights that you mobilize to improve performance in your organizations. In week one our team discussed what makes a good research. According to the text, good research produces trustworthy data that are a result of calculated practices; wherefore these results are reliable for accurate assessments (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).

If it wasn't for him we would not have seen the care worn face of Abraham Lincoln or the meeting of the great generals. It took until the 1880's for photographs to be published in newspapers. The invention of the flash powder allowed photography to go indoors added a whole new dimension to the ability of the photojournalist to tell his story with pictures. It wasn't until the flash bulb was invented along with the 35mm camera that photojournalism really took off. The period between the 1930's and the 1950's is called the Golden Age of photojournalism. Henri Cartier Bresson is called by many the Father of modern photojournalism. He isn't the only one who has been given this title but he certainly is deserving.

WEBER’S CONCEPT OF BUREAUCRACY Max Weber’s Concept of Bureaucracy consists of three basic theories. They are: Specialization of Labor, Hierarchical Order and Impersonal Rules. "The principle of office hierarchy and of levels of graded authority mean a firmly ordered system of super-and subordination in which there is a supervision of the lower offices by the higher ones (Stillman, 54). The concept of Hierarchical Order is directly related to this case study. Hierarchical Order basically means that everyone in a bureaucratic system has someone to answer to within the government. Because we have these checks and balances system, the government is supposed to run smoothly and properly. HOW THE HIERARCHICAL ORDER FAILED KRISTIN The following are a few examples of how the Hierarchical Order failed to protect Kristin: In 1988, Cartier was arrested and sentenced to six months in jail, non of which he served.
