  • Children In The 1800s

    1342 Words  | 3 Pages

    Compared to people in the twenty-first century, with all their modern conveniences and technological advances, the life of any early-American seems difficult. However, the lives of children were among the most arduous. Linda Pollock states in her book Forgotten Children that between 1660 and 1800 families -and society in general- became more affectionate, child-oriented, and permissive of uniqueness and unstructured time (67). Although this may be true, many other sources depict the lives of children as taxing and oppressive at best. Children of the time were either forced to abandon education for their family contributions, or had to balance school with a full day's work ("Education"). Even when they were not in school or doing manual labor, their day-to-day lives were uncomfortable and harsh (Kids). Social status, as is expected, was a key factor in determining how hard a child's life would be (Murray 9). Although many children at the time had it easier than others they were all asked at an early age to take on adult responsibilities. The lives of all children in 1800 were mundane and difficult due to family and societal expectations for labor, schooling, and maturity.

  • Chapter 7: The Political Cartoon

    201 Words  | 1 Pages

    The political cartoon relates back to the chapter 7 because its broadcast media. I feel that the illustrator is trying to say that the technology that was invented, is not providing the same purpose today. The radio and television were created to inform the society by useful information and news. The man with the headphones states “another copter down in Iraq…” and the other one responds “sorry, no time. Britney shaved her head..” shows that the celebrity story is more important than what’s happening in the world. I feel that the television programs chose the topic to talk about that will increase their ratings. They corrupt that standard that was created between the people and their elected leaders. The media try’s to connect with younger

  • Documentary Analysis: Children Underground

    224 Words  | 1 Pages

    Children Underground took an emotional affect on me. Reasons behind is because of the topic they choose is sensitive idea, homeless children in Romania, we watched as these kids suffer on trying survive. But what really makes me feel sort of uncomfortable watching this documentary is the noises the kids were making. The crying and the screaming makes it difficult to watch because what goes through my head is “What would I do if I was in their situation?” and to be honest, it makes me feel like a horrible person. It’s not something that I could explain why but legitimately I just feel horrible. I don’t know if it’s because of our social difference or what, it’s almost as if there’s this guilt on your shoulders. Even if this was or was not the

  • The Street Children of Latin America

    984 Words  | 2 Pages

    An eight or nine year old boy with dirt in his face, wearing ripped jeans, shoes and a dirty shirt doing his best to stop one of a thousand cars in order for him to wash the windshields of a car for a miserable wage. This young man was struggling to carry a large container with soap and water and a small red rug which he held with his small, left hand. His facial expression revealed fear, doubt and resignation. The inside of me wanted to cry and at the same time, I wanted to take him with me and give him a warm cup of milk. He looked as if he had not eaten anything for days. As he approached our car the other drivers would curse him and tell him to disappear from this world. With a sad glimpse, he kept his journey towards our car. His big and dark brown eyes expressed pain, dismay, and despair. Heartbreaking stories similar to this one are most commonly occurring in the urban metropolis of Mexico and Latin America. These children suffer from the abandonment of their family and the economic issues of the country; moreover they are deprived to health care, exposed to violence, drugs, and HIV through sexual promiscuity. Street kids are not choosing to live in abandoned buildings, cardboard boxes, parks or on the street itself; they are forced to take on the challenges of life that no other human being experiences in many years. Therefore, street children should be helped due to the constant marginalization.

    A cartoon is a two-dimensional illustrated visual art and are usually intended for satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic style of these works. The cartoonist is the creator behind the cartoon. The definition of the word “cartoon” has changed over time; however, in modern times, cartoons refer to potentially non-realistic or practically realistic drawing and paintings. In the Middle Ages, where the word “cartoon” originated, people described the cartoons as something that was drawn to prepare for a piece of art.
