Political cartoons could be defined as illustrations or cartoon strips that contain a social and/or political message in them. Political cartoons are often based on the current events around when they were written.

Thomas Nast is known as the "Father of the American Cartoon," having created satirical art during the 19th century that critiqued slavery and crime. In this political cartoon, Thomas Nast as an artist reflects on the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties. The political parties now are different from when the cartoon was published. The Republican Party was the party of the people, mostly supported by the North. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, was the party of the South, of business, and was noted for being supported by former Confederate soldiers and sympathizers.

The house of representatives makes and passes federal laws. They are one of two chambers that creates the U.S legislative branch. The house may even be referred to as “the people house” because it’s representative’s are viewed and based upon the population or amount of people in each state. In this political cartoon, there are two sides one side is labeled “the people's house” which is the outside view of the Capitol building, while the other side shows citizens inside the Capitol building scared. The Capitol building holds meeting's and debates with the electives, however, the scared citizens show a negative connotation because they are not providing respect to the building and what's surrounding them. The ironic part of this cartoon is

In this political cartoon, I see “Uncle Sam” or the U.S national government, and then I see a politician represented as the state government. This political cartoon uses distorted images such as the size of “Uncle Sam” compared to the small state government, this image is portraying the power dynamic between state & national government. In the cartoon, the federal government is giving the state government federal benefits, while he also gives him “ federal authority.” I believe this is representing a part of federalism by showing how the federal government gives the state government funds and resources at the expense of state power. A great example of this is money given to the state for roads/highways. The federal government will fund the

The early 19th century in America saw the rise of industry and a booming economy, however, with industry came businessmen who saw an opportunity for power and profit. Even with help from the government, it would be a long time before the American people saw an improvement in the condition of the laborers and the regulation of corporations. Fast forward to the 21st century; two hundred years have passed and people are still struggling at the hands of a corporation-run economy. Throughout history, American laborers have been at the mercy of an industry controlled by a small few that did not have the best interest of the people in mind.

Two political cartoons, “School Begins” by Puck and “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner” by G.F Keller, both published in the late nineteenth century, avail of distinct examples in order to reveal America's attempt to civilize immigrants and non-white groups as a means of granting them social acceptance throughout the nineteenth century. “School Begins” exhibits Uncle Sam, a popular U.S. cartoon figure throughout history, as the dominant white American male in the center. In the cartoon, the class is made up of well-disciplined students studying books labeled with their state’s name, juxtaposed with the disorderly class seated in the front made up of the “Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Cuba.” The territories are depicted as uncivilized, serving the racist and denigrating image that justified the right to govern the new territories gained after the Spanish-American War of 1898. In “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner”, immigrants and Americans of different backgrounds sit around a table, prepared for the feast . The groups represented at the dinner reveal unruly characteristics and stereotypical representations of each group’s food to highlight their conflicting differences in American society. By looking at how the artists utilize the exaggeration of non-white and immigrant groups, we can see the dominant civilizing narrative the U.S. secured through imperialism and assimilation, and this is salient because it exhibits a racist hierarchy that justified Western civilization

The threat states “a fellow robot will take up arms against a university near Philadelphia” stating an affirmative that a university in the area of Philadelphia is in danger. Danah Boyd states, “fear is the dominant emotion that drives our society’s relationship to young people. We are afraid FOR them… We’re afraid of all of the ways in which our children might be harmed”; with the threat being aimed towards a university, which contains young adults, it sparks the readers of this post to fear for the students at the intended college ("The Power of Fear in Networked Publics"). Boyd also stated that “we are afraid OF [young people]…

Cartoons have been a prominent and interesting apparatus for politics throughout the ages. Political movements, parties, and groups using propaganda to further their beliefs dates back to the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Though America faces an austere history, lighthearted propaganda colors its decades and gives them life. Political cartoons are so widely used in America that they have become a significant piece of pop culture. Moreover, because of their ability to capture the reader’s attention, propaganda is exploited throughout politics.The cartoons are wonders of the human imagination; illustrators create comical images and intertwine profound political opinions to influence their viewer’s mind. For example, one movement that abundantly grew from propaganda was the women’s rights movement. The artists of the seemingly despised cause drew controversial cartoons that set a fire in the hearts of women all over the world. Consequently, the same cartoons ignited a passionate war between women who wanted freedom, and those who believed that women could not handle that freedom. Through the use of colorful concepts and daring expressions, political cartoons display the influence of the women’s rights movement throughout history, while the cartoons of Anti-Feminists demonstrates the world’s reaction to the movement.

In this political cartoon the parents are portrayed as watching the news on the TV and the news that another school massacre has occurred from the heading at the bottom of the tv screen which reads, “School Massacre”, and the parents look very worried with their jaws open “as if they are shocked., that another school shooting has taken place. Thus, the father is very angry and I can infer that he is in an angry and upset tone by him stating that”Guns Cause All Of This Trouble!”. Therefore, the parents are very upset by the school shooting and want collectively everyone in society to side with being collectively safe over an individual's right to bear arms. However, in the cartoon, on the opposite side of the parents is their son who is playing

Modernism can be seen as a reaction to the new society and environment that was formed by industrialization, which arose during the period between World War I and World War II. The modernist movement arose out of this new way of viewing the world and the self. Among the characteristics of the modernist movement were alienation and themes that were rooted in real life and real-life experiences. American poet Carl Sandburg was able to demonstrate how the individual viewed his redefined relationship with his environment and society in "Prayers of Steel" and "Chicago." In these poems, Sandburg strives to explore how the narrator attempts to reconcile his identity of self through the use of industrialist settings and images.

Racism affects everyone, especially children in their stages of growing up. Everyday, they have to grasp onto conservative ideas society displays all around, and with their limited understanding, the children then have to interprets these ideas on their own. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee portrays the idea of young characters struggling in a racist environment during the Great Depression, to get past the community’s hidden hypocrisy in Maycomb, Alabama. Lee, growing up in a small county in Alabama during 1930s observed racism and watched it happen under the hypocrisy of her society. The society in Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression can relate to many societies today, holding insights

Germany, U.K., Russia and Japan already have their knives or hand on the pie, France has his eyes on it as well.

Everyone in this world is different. We all have different personalities, looks, and ways of doing things, but one thing we all have in common is failure. At some point and time, in any person’s life, they have failed at a task. Regardless of how little or how small the letdown, we all have experienced it a time or two in our lives. The definition of failure is simply the lack of success, which can completely destroy a person, or motivate them to become better. Everyone has experienced failure, but what a person does after that failure is what arrays them separately from the crowd. Personally, I have experienced failure often, but not as often as my success. As a young person trying to figure out the rest if my life, I have learned a lot of information about myself while in the process of turning my failures into successes. I have discovered my strengths, weaknesses, and what motivates me to do better.
