In order to live you must do some work. The job is very necessary to enable man to satisfy his wants. In Egypt, we’re facing the problem of Unemployment. There is a large number of youth that are unemployed. Unemployment occurs when people are without jobs and actively seeking for work. The majority of the unemployed youth were found in the 20 to 24 year old, which 39.3% were jobless. There are many reasons that make a young person jobless: Our poor system of education, the rapid growth of population, poverty and the absence of economic investments. Unemployment will affect the person in many negative ways like loss of human resources, illegal immigrations, psychological problems and it can lead them to illegal activities. Of course, the media plays a very important role in solving this problem in many ways. The cartoons are one of these ways that represent the problem in a funny way. The cartoons are being compared to stand for the problem of Unemployment. In Cartoon “A”, it is a graduation and once the students graduate and take their certificates they enter the door of “Unemployment.
In Cartoon “B”, there is a man that is going to solve a problem with another man called “Unemployment” but he didn’t know that this man is a huge one; therefore, he can’t do anything to him. The two cartoons show us the message clearly of how the problem of unemployment is hard and threatening, but cartoon “B” is better because it has stronger techniques like symbolism, exaggeration, labeling and irony.
Symbolism is found in both cartoons. Symbolism is the use of simple objects to stand for larger concepts or ideas. In cartoon “A” the door that the graduates enter is representing Unemployment. And it seems that there is nothing outside this door w...

...ace and body; therefore, this exaggeration shows us the big difference and that the man cannot stand in front of this huge problem. The facial expressions of sadness on the face of the huge man is also exaggerated .The comparison is between the problem and the solution.
The persuasive techniques in both cartoons reflect the fact that we’re facing a real problem that is not easy to solve. But Cartoon “B” has better techniques and sends us the message clearly. If the problem of Unemployment remained unsolved, the economy will slow down. And this will make a very big difference in our country. The solutions are not simple, but we have a common interest, and together we can make a start like the International youth foundation, they’re offering an opportunity to young people to work and have better future and also this foundation exist at many countries not Egypt only.
Symbolism can be defined as “the representation of a reality on one level of reference by a corresponding reality on another” (“Symbolism” 564). The word symbol comes from the Greek word "symballein," which translates literally into “to throw together” and suggests the combining of two unrelated worlds. Much...
...e of the meanings to be determined by the reader, but clearly conveys the meaning behind others. Such variety provides something or someone for any reader to relate to. Symbolism, hidden or obvious, serves to connect the reader with the characters of “The Things They Carried” and follow their development with interest and ease. In many cases, symbols answer the question which the entire story is based upon, why the men carry the things they do.
7. Persuasive Techniques (Describe how the cartoonist used 2 of the techniques (symbolism, exaggeration, labeling, analogy, irony, etc.)
Politics is an ongoing controversial discussion; Everyone has the right to participate and indulge in the political movement. Although chaotic at times, it is extremely important and crucial to our future. With that being said, it is important to note that various cartoon artists take pride in replicating important issue through their art. Artist appeal to their audience by using logical fallacies, ethos, and by emphasizing or pointing out important messages within their artwork. Doug MacGregor, a political cartoon artist, had the honor to form a part of the 2016 elections by displaying his ideas in a political cartoon. The cartoon titled “It Takes Brains to be President” by MacGregor alludes to social media and political knowledge using symbolism.
Journalist, Patricia Cohen, in her New York Times article, writes that millions have managed to lift themselves out of the poverty in the past year. Cohen’s purpose is to inform and convince readers that indeed poverty levels have declined despite that millions across the country are still heavily affected by the 2008 Recession. She adopts a sympathetic and informative tone in order to transmit upon her readers the idea that the economy is not perfect but it is in fact improving. Cohen establishes a strong ethos by including anecdotes of success stories, she supports her argument with a significant use of logos through statistical figures as well as graphs in order to assure her readers that unemployment has definitely declined.
This article really caught my attention and my eye. This article is very historical and has facts within it that date back to the 1700’s. The article talks about how political cartoons play a part with an election. Specifically the presidential elections and how each and every year cartoonist depicts the candidates as a some sort of superhuman. I believe that this article gives people some background on political cartoons and how they have helped play a part within the U.
Unemployment is a social problem in Australia, which affects a majority of society in many ways. Not only can it cause financial debt to families, but from there it can cause family breakdowns, social isolation, shame and it can even lead to violence. The Conflict theory perspective explains how unemployment can be caused by class and power by focusing on the inequality within society. The inequality sequentially predicts that the poorer members of society struggle to find employment, to be able to get education to find suitable employment and are.
The separation of classes is an issue that can affect an individual’s ability to achieve their American dream. In the Cartoon by Jeff Parker, it shows the separation between the classes is increasing. The gap represents the social classes. The man with suit is from the higher social class while the man opposite him is from the lower class. The differences between the men demonstrate the difference between the social classes. The man with the suit has his chin up, he is turned away from the other man, he has glass and he seems to have his eyes closed to the gap between them while the other guy has baggy clothes, a spatula in his hand, the other hand pointing the other way. The ways both men speak also demonstrate the difference in class deference. The man in suit seems to be ignorant about the widening gap that is right in front of him while the other man is working 2 jobs. It also proves that for the lower class American dream is harder to achieve...
The first source is demonstrating the effect of the NAFTA which stands for North American Free Trade Agreement. The NAFTA is a political agreement between Canada, USA and Mexico, and the purpose of this agreement is to improve trading relations by decreasing trade barriers, by removing tariffs. The first source shows an image of a political cartoon. In this image there is a man with a sad expression on his face in front of a US factory, with a sign on the building saying “Labor Day: This year’s picnic will be held in Mexico, where your job went”. What the source is demonstrating is one of the negative effects of the NAFTA, which is job loss for Americans. The source shows this through symbolism and labelling: The sad man represents American
Western culture, full of contradictions and uncomfortable compromises, is slowly slipping out of balance influencing many people. The increasing social inequality expressed in the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, in people’s obsession by the external signs of success, and not in real development can see this. False images and fake characters leaves you to make the right decision out of the wrong on how you are going to live your life.
Symbolism is strongly represented through Kaplan’s short story. The symbols represented are the ocean, the killing of the doe and the woods. Visiting the ocean for the first time at the Jersey Shore was new for Andy. Since then she had been awfully frightened of the ocean. She believes the ocean to be a huge, vast that constantly moved, keeps shifting
Symbolism is one of the most effective and powerful elements in writing. We see various examples of this all throughout "The Things They Carried." Symbolism enables us to tell a story one way, while all along trying to say another. I believe Tim O'Brien has achieved success in doing so in "The Things They Carried."
Over the recent years the American people have grown weary of their financial situation as they are hurting, struggling to provide for their families. The most recent recession has diminished the faith of the American people who grow weary of political talk, rather more seek to hear about solutions that will put Americans back to work and bring back competitive earnings to keep their families afloat. President Barack Obama addressed the nation in his speech how he is hoping to bring back stability to the American household and reassure the American dream is not just an estranged fantasy but in fact a possible reality. Used many strategies in his speech about “Jobs”, In this essay I will demonstrate how Barack Obama used these four emotional

Symbolism is commonly used by authors that make short stories. Guin is a prime example of how much symbolism is used in short stories such as “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “Sur.” In both of these stories Guin uses symbolism to show hidden meanings and ideas. In “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” there is a perfect Utopian city, yet in this perfect city there is a child locked in a broom closet and it is never let out. A few people leave the city when they find out about the child, but most people stay. Furthermore, in “Sur” there is a group of girls that travel to the South Pole and reach it before anyone else, yet they leave no sign or marker at the South Pole. Guin’s stories are very farfetched and use many symbols. Both “Sur” and “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” have many symbols such as colors, characters, objects, and weather. The four types of symbols that Guin uses help the readers understand the themes in her short stories. Although her stories are farfetched, they need symbolism in them or the reader would not understand the theme; therefore the symbols make Guin’s stories much more enjoyable.
