What Was The Purpose Of A Political Cartoon

Hitler’s desire for power was one that was not a simple want, but a raging desire fueled by his anger and ideas. This desire was strong enough that he even wrote a book about it prior to achieving his position as chancellor. Mein Kampf or My Struggle, which contained “revelations concerning the nature of his character and his blueprint for Germany 's future served as a warning to the world. A warning that was mostly ignored.” (Rise of Hitler). Hitler labeled the blonde haired, blue eyed people of Germany as Aryans. This Aryan race is what he considered to be superior among the rest of the world. He considered the Jewish people to be scum and the cause of all of Germany’s problems. This belief was not just some type of prejudice carried by a man. This hatred spread across the country like a virus and eventually led to the extermination of 11 million people (Rosenberg). Six million of these people were Jews, accounting for two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population

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

But why racism? It is generally believed by sociologists that one cannot be a racist unless he is distinguishing between different biological traits between people, which somehow make one biological 'race' superior to another. And Hitler knew how bitter the Germans were about the loss of the First World War, so he needed a reason to give them as to why they lost. So he turned to racism and began distinguishing the Aryans from other races in Germany such as the Jews and homosexuals. By blaming the mixing of these inferior races into Aryan blood he gave the people a reason to believe they were better than someone else, and gave them a purpose, people to blame for Germanys devastated economy.

Hitler represented the Nazi party they wanted to kill off has many Jews as he could, they believed if they did this Germany would recovery from world war 1, also, they believed in a national community formed by so called racially pure people the Nazi party believed there should only be pure Germans. Blonde hair and blue-eyed Germans, they felt if you weren’t a pure German you weren’t a person.

For him, that was blonde haired, blue eyed and tall. He wanted to get rid of anybody that did not fit his criteria. He believed that they would rule the world for a thousand years. “The Aryan race is tall, long legged, slim. The race is narrow-faced, with a narrow forehead, a narrow high-built nose and a lower jaw and prominent chin, the skin is a rosy bright and the blood shines through …. The hair is smooth, straight or wavy-possibly curly in childhood. The colour is blond.”- ‘The Nazi Race’, 1929.

The idea of a revolution was spread through the colonies with America's first political cartoon. The cartoon, "Join or Die" displayed a drawing of a snake cut into 8 parts, each part displaying one of the Thirteen Colonies. Its message was that all the snake couldn’t work if it was cut up and divided, referencing Britain's control on the colonies and they all had to be together to get rid of Britain's control. It also tried to convince Loyalists to become Patriots to support the idea of independence. This political cartoon was drawn by Benjamin Franklin on May 9th, 1754.

Though most were unrealistic, not unlike Stalins visions for the future, Hitler believed his way was the best way to make a great nation. As an example, Hitler wrote his book Mein Kampf, which almost all of his people had in their homes as kind of a trophy. The sales of his book made Hitler very rich, however nearly no one read the whole book, which contained a kind of blueprint for Germany's future. Second, he wanted his nation's people to consist of his "perfect" blonde haired, blue eyed Aryan people. In similarity, he thought that by eradicating all Jewish people, disabled people, homosexuals and sick people to name a few, would make room for all of his pure Aryans to live and flourish. However, Hitlers ideas of how to make his nation all powerful didn't end how he

Summary: The introduction to this source began with “a boycott of Jewish shops and ended in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Hitler believed that the Jews were to be blamed for Germany's defeat in World War I as well as many economic hardships the Germans endured. Something Hitler also put into play was stating that the ideal German had fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. People who didn't have these features and were Jews were sent to concentration camps or treated like outcasts. Because of Hitler, Jews “removed from schools, banned from the

The propaganda in making the Aryan race look like the only good people on earth was heavy. Hitler promoted the blonde-haired, blue-eyed people of the Aryan race broadly, making posters of white men and women dressed beautifully and surrounded by majestic places. Hitler made Aryan Christians seem like the greatest race of all. In actuality, Arius, who the Aryan branch formed from, was shamed and denounced from the Catholic church because he said Christ was not completely perfect, but Hitler conveniently left that part out. He does, however, highlight that Aryan German Christians are better than all, especially Jews. Hitler’s purpose in building this narcissism does not only lie in creating a homogenized society for the Aryans. He strives to establish a feel-good sense in the popular German community, all based on ideas that they have previously heard from the Catholic church or in the norms of their society, especially ideas like Anti-Semitism. He chose somewhat popular and already prevalent ideas and implemented them into the lives of millions, and

Political cartoons and satire are a prevalent way to depict the current viewpoints in the political system. In some cases, the cartoons can polarize people when they push the envelope too far. However, in many cases, Democrats and Republicans alike can join in laughing at the humor intended by the illustrators and writers. For my cartoon, I chose to draw a picture of an elephant crushing Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate. The meaning behind my cartoon is that even Republicans are trying to keep Trump from saying all the highly opinionated, offensive, and negative things in his political campaign.

The Nazi Party, also known as the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, was led by Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. Hitler became a member of the party the year that it was founded in 1919 and became the leader in 1921. In January of 1933, Hitler was the legal official and the Nazi Party became government. Together they took on total power of Germany. Because Hitler had so much power, he made the people of his country believe that the reason they had lost World War 1 was because of the Jews. He also blamed the Jews for all of Germany’s problems. Hitler had racial beliefs that Germans who had light skin colors, blonde hair, and colorful blue eyes were the “supreme form of human” or in other words, the race that should lead the country.

In mid two thousand and eight, a New York magazine had circulated a controversial political cartoon targeting the White House’s current residents, the President, and first lady. Within weeks many other news companies like CBS, NBC, and even Huffington post had some sort of written article on this controversy. This though had been one of many controversial cartoons they had circulated throughout their years of business. When they had circulated this one though they didn’t expect that big of a backlash. For them to keep their cartoon on the front page they had a lot of explaining. This led to interviews and more publicity for their cartoon in question.

Hitler persuaded many German citizens. He made them think that the Jews were bad people and needed to be kept in ghettos and small areas, or killed. At first, the Jews just thought they were protecting them from the war, but over time they realized what was happening. Hitler was convincing the Germans to kill the Jews, and because Hitler was persuasive, they listened. He persuaded many Germans, made them act horribly and inhumane towards Jews, and feared the Jews forever.

The political cartoon by Michael Ramirez shows three men with a lot of papers scattered across all over the floor. One of the men is on the floor with a hand over his heart and his tongue sticking out. It also seems that one of the men is also representing President Obama who is also saying “Good news! Heart attacks are covered under Obamacare”. He does this when he is just looking over the man that is having the heart attack. The other man says that “He saw his new insurance premiums.” It seems that the assumption is that the man that is on the floor is having a heart attack caused from seeing the recent increases in the prices for Obama care. By having Obama seem to be not affected by the man who had a heart attack shows him as someone that

My cousin is an amazing, intelligent child who has epilepsy. When being tested at the hospital for her disorder, they concluded that she was having over 60 seizures per day. The Doctors attempted many tests and interventions without success. They had to go to another state to test if medical cannabis was going to be an option for her and it worked; however, governmental laws prohibit medical cannabis in most states. Governmental controversy over the use of medical marijuana and other legal and medical issues have been a source of contention in the news, and in the legislative arena for a long time. Medical marijuana and the use of legal and illegal drugs has been a hot topic of discussion in many legislative and medical settings for years. In the four cartoons selected you will see the contrast and correlation of the cartoonist’s presentations concerning government control of
