Help an Engineering major out. :)

So, in my defense, I'm an engineering major. I have to take this class "English Literature and Advanced Composition" for GE credit. :wallbash: Anyway, please fill free to correct any punctuation, and/or make it sound better.

It only has to be one page. It's just a "journal response" to this photo. It was published in a newspaper, and I have to write using "critical thinking" tecniques that were supposdly taught to me in English writing 300. cratch: Once again, I'm an engineering major. lol

Background:

On July 22, 1975, photograph Stanley J. Forman working for the Boston Herald American newspaper when a police scanner picked up an emergency: “Fire on Marlborough Street!”
Climbed atop the fire truck, Forman shot the picture of a young woman, Diana Bryant, and a very young girl, Tiare Jones when they fell helplessly. Diana Bryant was pronounced dead at the scene. The young girl lived. Despite a heroic effort, O’Neil knew he had been just seconds away from saving the lives of both.

MY PAPER
(put this in microsoft word, it makes it easier to read)

There should be an unspoken rule, a rule that says respect life; as if it wasn’t common sense to do so. We have the freedom of speech, yet there is an unspoken rule that if we speak words that are derogatory, or if the words we speak may bring harm to someone, we may be held accountable. In the case of the Boston photographs there should have been someone saying, “Hey, we’re potentially causing harm to the family of these women by publishing these photos.” By publishing those photos the newspaper could have physically caused harm to the victim’s family. Would you not be affected by seeing pictures of your daughter falling to her death? I’m sure it’s possible that one of you reading this might find it to do just the opposite, but in that case we revert back to; minority rules. As a collective people, I’m sure it’s safe to say that some line was crossed in showing photos of this poor female falling to her death. Some may say, what if the outcome were different, what if she lived? Even if the outcome was different, even if she would have lived, there was still some personally moral space that would have been invaded. That question is irrelevant. However, I feel that it would have also been common sense to ask the families permission to publish the photos. In some way the photos convey this feeling of the brittleness of life. One second we’re here, and the next we’re gone. I’m sure the photos, if permission from the family was given, could have conveyed that message more so. After all, the loss of life can somehow give us hope to make yours worthwhile.
