Reflecting on the overwhelming international response to the image of Aylan Kurdi, the 3-year-old Syrian refugee who drowned on the way to Turkey, Scott Stephens – editor of ABC Religion and Ethics – argues that, in a visually saturated culture, images can both move us and dull us to the plight of others. There exists then a moral dimension to our exposure to images that requires a careful and intentional response.
CORRECTION: The video incorrectly states that Aylan Kurdi was 5 years old. CPX apologises for the error.
