4) Cartoon
I chose this cartoon because it talks about how it wants to prevent racism and discrimination against different cultures and religions, and instead support equality by giving foreigners and other ethnicities the right to immigrate to any country they desire. In this cartoon, a Muslim family is attempting to go on a trip to Disneyland, but they are being refused admission on the plane to Los Angeles by an American police officer. As a rebuttal, this cartoon shows a drawing of Santa Claus, which represents the Christian holiday of Christmas, also being denied the right to immigrate to America by an American (Christian) police officer. The cartoon supports the message of equality by not allowing Santa Claus his right to immigrate because

Trump states "There are territories and terror states and terror nations that we 're not going to allow the people to come into our country,” which proves his hatred towards Muslims. Trump also plans to build a wall on the southern border, which would separate America and Mexico and have the Mexicans pay for it. This is Trump’s way of saying that Mexicans are also banned from America. In an interview, Trump says “I don 't want people coming in from certain countries. I don 't want people coming in from the terror countries. You have terror countries! I don 't want them, unless they 're very, very strongly vetted." This shows his strong detest for people from terror countries. Trump has his own beliefs, but I personally think his demands and promises are foolish, and in the twenty first century, we should already be at the stage of equality where we allow everyone the right to immigrate.

The empowerment of a women begins within herself, if that women loves herself; she has that authority to love anyone she chooses.
The power of a women becomes even stronger
When she finds herself and knows who she is; and doesn 't let anyone tell her

Winnie’s mom was stated as a ‘traditional Shanghai women’ who was strong-willed and independent-minded. She desired for a love marriage, but during this time period in China, women were supposed to be submissive, so instead she became the second wife to a man she did not care for. After her death, Winnie also faced the same mistreatment. During Winnie’s youth in China, she lived a burden free life because she had a wealthy father and a status in her town. However, her status did not stop the discrimination she received as a woman. With her status, Winnie was able to have a bright future, but she had to obey her father’s wish and ended up ruining her good life by marrying an abusive husband. Winnie’s father, Jiang Sao-yan, told Winnie before her marriage that her husband’s desires and opinions come before her own. Therefore, despite your position and class in society, women are powerless when it comes to deciding how they want to live their
Terrorism has been a worldwide problem this past year causing mixed feelings, anxiety, and more awareness. Political cartoons are said to be an exaggerating and categorizing opinion of a persons’ point of views. In the drawing by Nate Beeler, Trump is unfairly prejudicing Muslims which seems to be acceptable by Adolf Hitler. The exaggeration could be understandable, but the truth underlying it could just be the obvious. The artist gives the impression of saying Donald Trump’s statements and ideas leave him to be identified with Hitler. The work is representing the idea that Trump’s discriminatory views towards all Muslims, including innocent, is no different than Hitler’s ideas pertained to the innocent Jews, making them to be in the same category. The artist can cause so many opinions, emotions, and thoughts just by adding this simple character to his work.
Political cartoons are more complex than they may seem. They express compound political issues in unassuming and amusing ways. This is done to make a point about the issues and flaws that the cartoon is conveying. When in reality, most cartoons usually convey less information than mumbling or gesturing. Attached is a political cartoon about ObamaCare. This cartoon title is “’Obamacare’ or ‘Republicare’”. On the ObamaCare side is a picture of a donkey to represent the Democrats....
This is only one of the many offensive comments he has made throughout his campaign, which I plan on analyzing for the purpose of understanding systemic racism within America. Trumps campaign has been centered on the very controversial topic of immigration policies and the building of a “Great Wall” that is intended to keep the Mexican people, in particular, out of the United States. The idea that someone like Donald Trump could become the President of the United States of America has put fear into the hearts of the American people. Running with the slogan “Make America Great Again” Trump has emphasized that America has failed because of its “lenient” policies towards other countries, and his plan
Trump has said and believes that all immigrants that enter the United States are bad and are set out to endanger the lives of all individuals
Trump declares that, “[...he will build a wall to border Texas and Mexico]” (Br). He also states that the U.S in not going to pay for it, but he will force Mexico to! How can this guy be taken seriously? Mexico’s obviously going to refuse to pay, and America is just going to end up in more debt. This proves that Donald Trump has no idea what he is talking about and that he just makes absurd statements for the approval for the people. Trump is also racist towards muslims and believes that all are terrorists, “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” Most importantly, Trump contains no political background and clearly doesn’t know any real resolutions for some of the nation’s biggest
In the article “Make America Hate Again”, by Sasha Abramsky, she explains how Donald Trump is divining the country apart with his ideology and false messages. Even before being elected president of the United States Donald Trump was known as the “Law and Order” candidate, he structure his political policies on tougher punishment for criminals, “torturing terrorists”, and punishing family members of terrorist members. Abramsky, stated that America is an endless cycle of violence with crime and police brutality. Unlike our western European democratic countries, the United States has far more citizen death by law enforcement and higher violent crime rating. The majority of his supporters lack knowledge on “anti-immigration, and anti-Muslims”, seeing them as a threat to the country and asking to ban Muslims from the U.S.
Despite this, Trump’s point is strong since his best interest is the security of the United States. He was unsure of how precisely to target the Muslims wishing to harm Americans, so he called for a shutdown until he could create tighter security controls for the borders of America. It is smart to stop and rethink solutions for a problem rather than continue with the problem and take a chance of things becoming worse. Overall, mediality has a lot do with how people view Donald Trump as “‘mediality’ (media accounts of events) is often a distorted mirror of events” (Markus & Moya, 2010). Before the 2016 election race relations seemed to be okay, but as a result of this distorted image people are given about the discrimination against individual races in the United States, the state of race relations in America seems to be getting worse. There has always been some tension between all races, and there will continue to be, but recently there has been an uproar of protests. This is very much so because of Trumps’ ideologies and wishes for the United States as president, but also because of how the media alters headlines to make them more shocking. Trump is unforgiving and very public about his ideas, and this is something that the nation has not seen in a while. This is because it is
As seen on his campaign website, trump labels illegal immigrants as both rapist and murderers explaining, “In recent weeks, the headlines have been covered with cases of criminals who crossed our border illegally only to go on to commit horrific crimes against Americans. Most recently, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, with a long arrest record, is charged with breaking into a 64 year-old woman’s home, crushing her skull and eye sockets with a hammer, raping her, and murdering her.” This fear mongering consequently instills a racist view of all Mexican immigrants into Trump’s supporters. The generalized criminal
Muslims should be banned from entering the United States and we should have a database to track every American Muslim” (Healy). This recent statement by the Presidential candidate, Donald Trump asserts that Islamophobia in the United States is not a myth. Islamophobia is a serious issue which distresses many Muslims in the United States today. Thus, creating tension between Muslims and many fellow Americans leading to hate crimes, stereotypes, and inhumanity. This phenomenon is one which was created by Radical Islam and given life by the media.
The early part of the novel shows women’s place in Chinese culture. Women had no say or position in society. They were viewed as objects, and were used as concubines and treated with disparagement in society. The status of women’s social rank in the 20th century in China is a definite positive change. As the development of Communism continued, women were allowed to be involved in not only protests, but attended universities and more opportunities outside “house” work. Communism established gender equality and legimated free marriage, instead of concunbinage. Mao’s slogan, “Women hold half of the sky”, became extremely popular. Women did almost any job a man performed. Women were victims by being compared to objects and treated as sex slaves. This was compared to the human acts right, because it was an issue of inhumane treatment.
One moment he was saying, “We must protect the borders from the ravages of other countries, making our products, stealing our companies, and dissipating our jobs” and in the next paragraph he drives home the point that, “we will seek friendship with the nations of the world”. Not only is his first comment vastly exaggerated, but it is also a direct contradiction to his second quote. Trump’s inconsistency (Logical Fallacies, p.5) is evident throughout and outside of his speech. Inconsistency is a fallacy that includes directly contradicting one’s self and/or the truth. This is dangerous for a man in office because his actions and sentiments are unpredictable. Also, Trump’s assertion to make good friends with other countries has not been upkept since his inauguration. By implementing the unconstitutional “Muslim ban” Trump has angered Americans, as well as people in the 7 countries that he has
Since then Americans have endured many smaller attacks from its’ Muslim inhabitants, some of which were let in to the country legally via visas. Presidential candidate Donald Trump asserts that America “should temporarily bar all Muslims from entering into the U.S.” When he began to face criticism for his plan he found defense in the prior actions of President Roosevelt. According to Julia Glum “he cited what he portrayed as a relevant historical precedent,” and “described Roosevelt's policies as ‘far worse.’" However in a second interview he went on to say that Roosevelt “is a president highly respected by all, he did the same
Donald J. Trump has had many statements about the “issue” of immigration. His description toward immigrants, especially of the Mexican Origin were as follows: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending there best. ... They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” I believe Mr. Trump does not know what he is talking about, let me explain why: Firstly, being a rapist or criminal is not specific to whether you are an immigrant or not. Secondly, Mexico is not at all “sending” any people to the United States, it’s the people who want to better themselves and their families that come to the United States, of course there is the small majority of people who are here for the wrong reasons, but you can’t just group a whole race into one category. Lastly, Trump’s statement of “They’re bringing crime” is his personal opinion, because we have already established the statistics and facts to refute this statement.
Women usually worked as secretaries or on the assembly line because “bosses felt that young women were more diligent and easier to manage” (p. 56). Men, however, were either in a high managing position in the factory or worked in the lowest of jobs available, such as a security guard or driver. It was interesting to learn that about one-third of all of China’s migrants are women. These women go to the factory towns to work, but also, a majority of them leave their homes to see the world and experience life on their own for the first time. Chang makes a point that “to some extent, this deep-rooted sexism worked in a woman’s favor” (p. 57). The statement is supported by the idea that women are less treasured in their families; therefore, they had more freedom to do what they wanted with little care from the family. Shockingly, Chang noticed that no woman ever complained about unfair treatment. “They took all of these injustices in stride” (p.58). The women were grateful for the opportunity leave home and gain a sense of freedom; injustice was not a prominent
Pictures are not made without a reason. Every visual construct has some underlying purpose. Often times this purpose is to express the thoughts or emotions of its constructer. Political cartoons are used to this effect. These cartoons speak volumes about a period or event in time. If a picture truly is worth a thousand words, a political cartoon is worth one thousand one. Political cartoons are almost always drawn from the ideas of the public. Because of their significance to an event in time, they can be examined to reveal the opinion of the people during the time frame. Cartoonists are voices of the public and Greenberg is not an exception.
