Editorial cartoonist

I chose to write about a cartoon from Times Magazine that focuses on Obesity in America by Joe Heller. Obesity is a major issue that our country faces today. After analyzing this cartoon I wanted to further my understandings to what it meant. In this article we see that the American Medical Association (AMA) is a main variable.

The news sources are questioning why media concentration is considered as bad in society. Media concentration is the process of individuals or a corporation owning increasing shares of mass media.

The Pulitzer board seemed to have recognized the problem this year, handing prizes to an unusually large number of smaller papers in areas as diverse as Salt Lake, Charleston, WV and Oakland, Calif.

Tensions between these two countries brought about the perfect conditions for a nuclear confrontation between the USA and Soviet Union; occurring as a result of poor US-Cuban attitudes.

At the age of four, Goldberg spent a lot of time creating things and tracing drawings. Sadly, his mother died when he was a teenager and
