It becomes clear: There is no way out. The situation is totally muddled and despite all attempts, desperation and hopelessness creeps in.

A precarious situation, the observation of a crime or the exploitation of the distress of others. There are many possibilities for this threatening and yet distant atmosphere.

Life is full of challenges, some hurdles are so high and brutal that it seems almost impossible to overcome them, and the thought of it makes us breathless.

A panic attack or an aggressive emotional outburst, both based on absolute helplessness in a hopeless situation. Also for extreme situations and phobias or situations where you have to face your fears.

To stray, to decide, to think, to rethink - a constant process, but one that always comes back to the same point - the situation is hopeless and full of uncertainty.

The social decline: driven by violence, alcohol abuse and the never ending bad luck of having been in the wrong place too often. A vicious circle from which it is difficult to escape. Also ideal for harder stories about poverty, homelessness or drug addiction.

Solutions are being sought, even if they seem a long way off in the uncertain situation. Also good for presenting unexpected facts or bad, worrying figures.

Aggressive voices, domestic violence, abuse: An environment in which no one can stand it for long and often breaks down because of the consequences. Deep dark atmosphere: threatening and subliminal.

A moment of hope in the grey everyday life, which tries to rise like a delicate plant. Perhaps there is indeed a new chance for life back there on the horizon.

The insecurity and hopelessness in a situation that one has not chosen for oneself. Pulsating and oppressive, helplessness and desperation take hold.

With his back to the wall, all possibilities seem exhausted, but in his thoughts a possible way out of his misery slowly germinates, it only takes a mother step into the unknown. Exciting and dramatic, also ideal for research in reportages.

Completely without consideration for other people and their own environment. Shameless exploitation of defenseless fellow human beings, whether through brutality, violence or criminal machinations.

One was cornered until the end and a way out seems to be far away. Enduring the suffering is a sign of complete resignation and hopelessness pours down on you. Perfect for bullying and any other kind of physical violence and its victims.

All hopes shattered, a feeling of absolute hopelessness and helplessness prepares to take over the thoughts. Rash actions, depression or violence against others or oneself are the consequences.

Selfless sacrifice for people who are in need and need our help. These selfless deeds give hope that maybe one day things can get better again and at least you are not alone.
