Political Cartoon
Source A is a political cartoon that is showing the world being grated into a bowl. This political cartoon is depicting that globalization is bad and that with globalization homogenization is occurring. It can also be concluded that homogenization is occurring due to transnational corporations because the hands that are grating the world is wearing a suit. Suits are typically used to symbolize businesses. The cartoon represents the cartoonist's opinion on globalization because in the cartoon it’s showing that all cultures are being blended together. If the cartoonist thought that homogenization was a good thing they would have used another way to show this instead of a cheese grater because cheese graters are sharp objects that hurt if you

    Michael Ramirez Essay

    In the hands of each man pictured is a sign, the first one with the words “DOWN WITH” visible. The second man’s sign reads “NO MORE”. In both signs only the top half is showing so the issues being protested are unknown. Connected to the first man on the right is a speech bubble with the question “WHAT WERE YOU PROTESTING?” in a rather comical font. The second man also has a speech bubble connected to him with the response “I DON’T REMEMBER…”. In the background, a partially submerged car is seen with a shattered window. Further showing the extensive damage done to the city of Houston. Each man pictured has only his head visible, they both have a cartoonish looking head with glasses and a large nose. While it seems unlikely one may forget an issue one felt passionately enough to protest at one point. The conversation between the two men demonstrates how protested issues are irrelevant when a disaster hits. These men may have very well been taking opposite stands on the issue they were protesting but are brought together during the disaster and the previous issue is…

    Unit 8 Assignment 2: Visual Argument Analysis

    The cartoon that I chose is called Border Security. I find it very interesting that the cartoonist chose this type of background. Also having Border Security, NOT, and Amnesty all highlighted in red. The text in this cartoon is very unique to its time, because of the major focus that has been on border control. I believe that the cartoonist targeted a specific type of reader in this cartoon. That type of reader would be the nave and ignorant people focused on this topic of boarder security and bringing up unreasonable ideas as to why we need more border control and to send them back to their country. I also find it interesting that in this cartoon the Native Americans are talking about border security to each other, about the Europeans, just to find out that the Europeans in the future kill, rape, and steal the Native Americans land and people. To me it looks like the cartoonist is trying to get a point across that we need to take a look at ourselves and what we stand by, or perhaps the cartoon just may be telling us that this is a cycle. When talking about the exigence of this cartoon, the fact that I believe everyone should open their eyes and try to relate toward each other is my main motivation on writing about this topic.…

    thomas nast cartoon essay

    It was a dark and confusing time, towards the end of the Civil War. The Union would soon find out how unprepared they were once the Reconstruction Phase started. There were many issues that needed to be handled, but the biggest one would be getting the Whites to accept African-Americans as citizens with rights. It was 1865, post-civil war, when Thomas Nast started to contribute to the views of public opinion through the use of his vivid political cartoons. Nast constructed three influential cartoons that helped change the views of Americans. He attempts to sway public opinion by depicting his characters as either good or bad figures, portrays the injustice Northerners and African-Americans faced, and mocks the conducts of the Confederates. Nast’s cartoons were extremely powerful; they allowed viewers to understand the problems that the nation was facing at the time…

    Political Cartoon Chris Christie

    I analyzed a political cartoon from the Star Ledger about Chris Christie and his race for becoming president. The political cartoon shows Christie and a man, who is probably his campaign manager. His manger is telling him that his run isn’t doing well, that he is low on money to continue to support his campaign, and that he should probably go back to New Jersey. He is saying this because Christie only got one percent support in the recent debate, and with his he was disqualified from this debate. Christie is replying to his manager’s remarks with a negative attitude, saying that he doesn’t want to return to New Jersey, claiming that New Jersey is “a mess”. The reason that New Jersey is a mess is because its governor hasn’t done a good job in…

    The Tom Toles Political Cartoon Analysis

    In the political cartoon, The Tom Toles the viewer's political opinion will affect the impact the viewer gets from looking at it. The obvious statement the comic is expressing is that President Obama has received the Nobel Prize before even starting the race. The man hadn't even accomplished anything yet! The fact that they had given him the award already most likely gave him a heavier burden than he already had. This political cartoon doesn't use examples or statistics but simply expresses how the award had been given without a legitimate reason. The rest depends on the viewer's opinion of Obama and their political stand.…

    As a result, this causes false impressions on those that surround them. Staples’ article clearly represents how this is done in a derogatory point of view. His use of rhetorical devices allow his audience to relate and comprehend clearly the symbolism certain things have. All in all, Staples’ uses rhetorical devices, such as persona and pathos, to properly portray his message on the truth behind society’s symbols: a misinterpretation on humans around the world that cause for rash judgement on each…

    Derf's Cartoon

    Cartoons have been use for many years and its modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for satire, caricature, or mock different things.

    Social Responsibility Of Graphic Designer Essay

    Designers of all political parties, not just the Left, are capable of encouraging positive and negative change in the world. Graphic Designers, Cartoonists, and the Mainstream Media, are all aware of how impactful a strong emotional response can be, especially before a political event or poll takes place. Designers and Cartoonists draw inspiration from the media and social issues and incorporate them into their work. It is especially important that designers conduct more research than necessary to verify news sources and to keep in mind the potential political bias of the news source they get their information from. A picture is not exactly truthful these days and it is important to understand that the media can easily turn a picture into something it is not. Designers should take caution in developing political campaigns that use media stories and images to create more…
