North Korea Corruption

In this cartoon, I am satirizing the huge exaggeration of North Korea’s potential as a nuclear power in the world. Yes, they do have weapons, but they’re so miniscule, they’re nothing to fear. Not to mention the countless amounts of failures they’ve had while testing these weapons. Many times, they will rise a few seconds, then explode mid air. The media will then act as though this is something to fear when the missiles aren’t able to leave N. Korea itself.
I am quite irate due to the media being such a nuisance to my brain by filling it with annoying and flashy claims that we’re in danger because North Korea has missiles that are bottle rockets in comparison to the U.S. arsenal of weaponry. Yes, it is a quite a bad dilemma for South Korea,
Currently, the news stations are only giving away a part of what’s happening in order to get a rise out of society. What needs to start happening is more explanation on what is being expressed in the media. For instance, the reporters should go into a bit more detail about the specifications of the weapons that the North Koreans are firing. At the moment, they’re only stating the fact that the North Koreans are testing ballistic missiles. This winds up putting fright in the people’s minds when there is nothing to fear because the missiles being used are expected to go no more than 1500 miles. The tests have barely made it off the launch pad and blow up mid air a couple of seconds later.
Morally, I feel that the media needs to be more detailed in what they express. They may have to stay on a single event for 5 more minutes, but maybe then people wouldn’t be so panicked when they hear about another country having missiles.
In this satire, I used exaggeration and incongruity. The exaggeration is seen in the media bleachers because the people are shouting quotes that express fear when there is nothing to fear at all. The incongruity is seen with the rocket as it is obviously not a tiny, little bottle
