Trump Tax Reform Analysis
This political cartoon was made to inform the American citizens about Trump’s tax reform. We know it regards Trump’s political reform due to the short speech he says, and we know it is Trump due to his dress which represents the one he had during his political campaign. The audience are the American citizens and we deduce this because the tax reform is done for the American. The political cartoon is made to underline how the tax reform will not help the middle class but the rich part of the population. We know this due to the contrast between the word “lie” and Trump’s short speech. The format is a political cartoon. It is political due to its theme, the tax reform, and it is a cartoon due to how it presents itself in an exaggerative sort of ironic and criticising way.

    Robert Ariail’s role-swapped characters depict the fallacies of social security and medicare as the baby is the one who must accept two new mouths to feed while the grandparents are the ones who are helpless to feed themselves. The grandparents lie in one basket each, labeled “Social Security” and “Medicare,” and wail on the doorstep of the baby. This may appear satirical at first, but it is actually sad and people will empathize with the baby if they view the cartoon logically. The artist’s point lies in his usage of logos: the grandparents must take care of the baby; however, in the comic, the baby, who can hardly take care of himself, must also accept responsibility for the grandparents. This swapping of roles is ironic. If the grandparents…

    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.…

    Aside from having the largest benefit for the wealthy population, the Bush tax cuts were also controversial for a multitude of reasons. These tax cuts forced the government, Congress in particular, to make a variety of changes and adaptations to the new financial situation they would find themselves in. Due to the decrease in revenue the government would be receiving in taxes, Alterations in spending had to be expected. According to Isaac Shapiro, the Bush tax cuts “have been a major contributor to the dramatic shift from large projected budget surpluses to projected deficits as far as the eye can see.” This is largely due to the amount of government spending not properly adjusting to the reduced budget cause from the tax act. The surplus which…

    Today, an American’s political views develop from a number of sources. Magazines, movies, television, newspapers, and the Internet all shape public policy and the outcome of an election. However, most of those sources are fairly modern; newspapers and, magazines were the sole source for the American people up till about seventy years ago. Newspapers needed a way to present political information that was interesting and understandable to all; cartoons were the best way. Thomas Nast can easily be noted as the father of early political cartoons, because of his many contributions to the public policy of his time and his influence on the political media today.…

    Colbert uses connotative language, for example, he uses gay stamps for town people who are not gays. Also, in the beginning of the video, when they showed a map of USA, big states (California, Florida) were gone, because there are a lot of people with different orientation. The satiric says “We lost our big cities to gays, now we are losing our small towns.” Humorous, loud, sarcastic language was used in this video. The author uses a lot of time a word “gay”, that everything is “gay” in the town; “American traditional values are under attack”, “when it comes to fight the gay agenda, we already lost our big cities” are metaphors. In the last scene the viewers can hear and see, that Colbert is disgusted. Colbert uses this word choice to show the audience what is the reason of destroying American values in emotional way. Also some design elements features contribute to the emotional imaginative appeal of the argument. He uses bright, red, white and blue colors to reflect the patriotism in America. The graphics and images are used to persuade the audience that America is being threatened by passing this ordinance…

    In this cartoon, the artist is trying to show how Justin Trudeau is inexperienced for the job and will need a “booster seat” (more training) to finally become a good Prime Minister. The people in the cartoon are 2 Members of Parliament and Justin Trudeau himself. The issue being raised is that Trudeau is very new to the job and is not ready, he may need a “booster seat” so that he will be fit for the job, following the lines of the attack ads by the Conservative Party a few months back. Like the ad, this cartoon is negative to Trudeau. The point of the ad is to make you change your opinion on Justin Trudeau, from being the winner of the election to someone who is once again “Just not ready”. Three techniques used by the artist are: labeling,…

    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…

    The political cartoon expresses the view that a voting for a third party is equivalent to throwing away their vote. In the carton Nader is addressing society’s “throw away mentality,” but in the background a citizen is casting their vote for the green party. The vote casted by the citizen ironically drops into a garbage can that represents a wasted vote. This image tells voters that they should amend their views on minor party candidates and vote for the candidate they think will be the best president, despite their chances of winning.…

    How can someone so arrogant and out of touch with common folk’s reality, have the interest of all Americans run this great country we call America. Someone who worked in real estate his entire life. Does a real estate man really have what it takes to “Make America Great Again”? It takes years to obtain a complete understanding of politics. This isn’t something that you can solely rely on your staff to watch behind you through the process. Especially, since this isn’t a local office. This is the presidency we are talking about. The complex tangle of international politics is something that can only be mastered after paying attention as well as paying dues to its evolution over the years and having a mature understanding of history. Government is not the real estate business. It has a completely different set of rules and it is definitely not for profit. Just because they both have budgets, and payrolls, that doesn’t make them similar.…
