Political Satire

Medieval literature is involved in the school classroom for a very long time. Medieval literature is very important and even though it's old it offers many interesting stories and life lessons. There are many medieval literature works- Beowulf, the author tales, and more. The film of Monty Python and the holy grail combines all the medieval literature and satirises them all. The Monty Python film mocks and satirizes a lot of the important themes in the medieval literature. Among the many themes it satirizes, the theme of Chivalric Code and Knightly Behavior is the most prevalent. Many themes are repeated over and over again and it is easy to draw conclusions from what we read in class to the movie. Through this essay I will show these examples.

Social media is addictive. Tweet - #Addicted. Facebook – Like my selfie. Snapchat – Snap me. I found myself on a painful and destructible path that consumed my life, without realising that I too was playing that game of seeking external validation through social media. I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and realised - We should start living in the real world. We should banish living in virtual reality and become interactive with people again.

Gore uses a variety of ways to appeal to pathos and logos. One of the first things he does, is explain global warming, he them proceeds to show a short, funny cartoon to describe global warming. While this short is not exactly accurate, and looks like it is taken from The Simpsons cartoon, it is comical, and he uses this short to intrigue his audience. After drawing us in, he keeps us attentive by sprinkling these little emotional

Thank you for reading and replying to my post. Immigration is a very touching topic, I believe that we all know someone that their immigration status here in America is uncertain and if I put myself in their position, I’m sure it can be real intimidating. I agree with you when you say “that those that have clean records and work or study hard should have opportunities”, I think that if they are doing everything accordingly to what the law requires then the government will work with them. Just like you, I am not very familiar with the “DREAM ACT” but as far as I know the “DREAM ACT” never passed and is just a temporary programs program. I also heard on Fox Business news that President Trump is going to leave in place the protection

Have you ever witnessed something that was so absurd yet convincingly real? If you have, the Onion, a satirical news organization, may help recreate that feeling with some of their videos and articles. Published in 2011 on the Onion’s website and on YouTube, the video “College Basketball Star Heroically Overcomes Tragic Rape He Committed” satirizes how lightly people who commit rape are punished, and their crime even forgotten about. The video, employs the use of clever satire to convince the audience unfamiliar with the Onion that the report is real, while having implicit meanings and messages about rape culture in the United States. While the video still speaks

Cass' blog provokes "Generation Whatever" to take out their anger on the golf courses and she is soon

My Opinion in on how we can end modern day is to fight to end it by making a statement and not just by yourself but by having a voice that can be heard in your community but also around the country as modern day slavery should stop no matter what type of circumstances that we may be going through as many of today's america problems involve race,sex trafficking,sexuality as many of america's circumstances exists around police brutality against blacks are the more talk about in america today but when so much police brutality going on not only are we killing ourselves but we are killing our society and how next generation will be formed,we are killing our next generation over sexually,race and how we dress and present ourselves in society in my opinion it needs to come to a stop and our voice should be heard not only when a situation happens but making a statement everyday not only just for a week and stop talking about the issue that is present at hand but many ways to bring a stop to the racism and judgment based on race is to make sure your voice get heard by making a statement by joining a local social justice group. One of the many social groups in charlotte that exists are the southern coalition for social justice,freedom

“God works in mysterious ways, it’s best not to question things” is a phrase my parents have permanently engraved into my mind, for every time I would ask questions concerning the unknown, that was the response I would receive as a child. Growing up as a hispanic, I was raised to be a Catholic young lady who should devote her love, trust and admiration to the one and only God in which everyone looks up to. But what happens to someone who disagrees with what the Catholic religion has to offer? Why should I devote my love, life and trust into someone or something that can’t be confirmed to exist? These questions were the cause of the developing internal conflict within me once I began to mature. Was I ready to stray away from the

Clearly John Oliver pulls in a large audience for his HBO satire/talk show. However, this gives him an edge when talking about somewhat dry topics like politics. No matter what your opinion’s are of Oliver, he has conducted a great deal of research for this sketch. He uses past clips of Trump and his family speaking, twitter post and legal disputes (like how Trump was suing over a biography undervaluing his wealth). He used what appeared to be qualitative research to dispel fact from fiction by showing viewers the “uncensored” side of Donald Trump. Most critics of Trump focus on traits of his personality and past decisions based on it. To be persuasive to people who do not share your viewpoint, you also need to introduce facts in a debate.

The smoke coming from the factory in the poster is shaped like a hurricane; a foreshadowing of what will be a result of global warming in the future. In the second poster, a waddle of penguins is portrayed traveling across a dry desert, which was used to interest an audience focused on the effects of global warming on the environment and animals. While the first poster’s image focused on the cause of global warming, this poster focuses on the effects of global warming. The picture shows that global warming will drastically change the environment and that animals will lose their normal habitats. It is important that both audiences are targeted in order to increase the number of viewers of the

“Monkey see monkey do” an overrated proverb but spoken by wise individuals and often times correct. In several occasions due to the lack of knowledge. The public may act on what they feel and not what they know to be truth, certain information can be twisted and paraphrased for one's own amusement. Those who fall under the poor judgment of the truth many times believe every piece of information they receive. Causing mayhem and social panic around the web.

I found Joanne’s political cartoon extremely relevant to current events and policy debates. The cartoon depicts a sheriff and a Texan standing in chest-deep water. In the background are farm animals huddled on the top of a roof in order to prevent drowning, and a large billboard allowing the audience to know the setting is in “TEXAS”. However, the most vital part of the cartoon is the sheriff’s line above him, “It’s not global warming. This water’s cold,” which parallels the steady position of the Republican party on climate change. Even when the water is about to flood both individuals, the Texas sheriff is solid in his claim against global warming and will not budge.

This cartoon by Joel Pett depicts a large crowd gathered at a climate summit and with one man on stage presenting. The mans presentation has a slide show listing benefits of renewable energy and environmental awareness such as energy independence, clean air and water, etc. This list is the focus of the picture, taking up one quarter of the frame. In the foreground one man is standing with an angry face saying, “What if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”.

We've all experienced something when we were out in public that makes us cringe a little. Perhaps it's something a customer says to an employee of a business we are shopping at or an exchange between family members, but we've all been shocked from time to time.

The advert aims to change the way people think of global warming, by including a child that might not have a bright future due to global warming consequences. The advert is clearly appealing to the young generation through its emotional pathos, but it also holds strong with factional logos and dependable ethos.
