A Political Cartoon Analysis

There has been many individuals that have been fortunate enough to have the honors to be called the president of the United States of America, regardless of who this person may be the people will have comments; some positive, and others negative. The wonderful fact about the United States of America is that, we the people have the privilege to vote on who will become our next president. We have the freedom to believe whatever we feel is right, and act upon it. Therefor humanity has the option to treat one another as an equal, or see themselves superior than others. We will be seeing two images describing two points of views society has on current events. While the two images portray a wall being built to solve our current problems the underlying

For example, our president isn’t considering how immigrants, and individuals that live in the United States of America will feel, and react towards families being torn apart. The images are based on a wall that is currently under discussion. The firsts political cartoon doesn’t just have a gold electronic wall it also has gold drones, tubes, and robots that are supposed to be representing power, and money spent on every kind of way immigrants can be deported back to their home towns. With the deportation of immigrants the political cartoon is saying that the “Problem is solved,” because they believe immigrants bring problem to the country. However, in the second political cartoon there is just a plain brick cement wall, no gold surrounding it ,or drones, but each brick that is placed on the wall is representing not only those that are meant to stay on the other side, but it is also representing the hate that is being built inside of the United States. Hate for one another is stronger than the powerful gold electronic wall. Each and every one of those bricks has a word written on it, for example, racism, anger, hate, greed, torture, homophobia and many other words that represent what our new president is bringing to the

For example, not being able to accept one another for what one might look like, who one choses to love, or what gender one is, is a way that humanity is building walls to separate each other. The president of the United States believes that once his wall is up, crime rate will go down, because criminals are the ones that come from other countries, according to him. Discarding the fact that not every immigrant is a criminal, most are looking for a better future, not only for themselves, but also for their children. They wouldn’t leave their home towns if it was a good enough place for their children to grow up in. Immigrants only come to the United States to experience the American dream. As if it isn’t enough looking down at others for their looks, and heritage, our society is now looking down at those that chose to love the same sex, and lowering respect for a women’s rights to choose what to do with her own body. Each and every one of us can be influenced by anyone, regardless if they are the president of the United States or just a friend, but the only difference is that no one can make another individual to something they don’t believe is right. Keeping the people united should
