The cartoon was made for a Cuban magazine that is against the embargo, so they portray the U.S as an evil looking man surrounding the island with his big arms and hands while the little boat that represents the United Nations is shouting at him repeatedly “Lift the embargo.” The letters of the text change from black to red. This change of color shows that the United Nations is trying to get the big man’s attention and is demanding him to move. This represents how U.N have being trying to make the U.S committee lift the Embargo but has failed to convinced them. The Man representing the United States is drawn with monster traits. His frown, red eyes and big hands with sharp nails are an example of it, making the U.S look intimidating and even scary. In conclusion, the author is trying to portray the U.S as a “monster and a “bad guy” because it is blocking cuba from the rest of the world, while the United Nations are trying to move the blockade to set Cuba free from the grasp of the United

However, throughout the years 1776-1860, America was strongly influenced by European affairs, especially with the Alien and Sedition Acts. Along with the Alien and Sedition Acts, the Louisiana Purchase and Embargo of 1807 heavily influenced America as well, however, on a smaller level. During 1798, America underwent an extreme makeover when President Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts into law.

    The primary reason why the policymakers and voters are choosing intermediate sanctions for the non-violent and low-risk offenders is financial constraints and the high costs of prisons (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). For example, the support of intermediate sanctions is the fact that prisons are ineffective at rehabilitating prisoners with half of the prisoners released being expected return to prison within three years due to new offenses. The voters also believe too many people are in prison and this is unnecessary considering the costs and the non-violent nature of some convictions. References Schmalleger, F., & Smykla, J. O. (2015). Corrections in the 21st century (7th ed.).…

    This political cartoon mentions the White House blocking the media to avoid leaking confidential information out. We can see that through the image "Media Access" is just a tiny entrance. The opposite image of "Open Government" along with a strict door-to-door picture of the house shows a lull. These two images have raised the question of whether the government is truly open-minded as promised while there are policies to hide information. In my opinion, the act of media sanctions is Mr. Trump's response to reporters against him.…

    The Cold War was not a war of arms and deployed men, but rather a war of information and intelligence. The term “Cold War” was first introduced by Bernard Baruch in 1947 during an angry speech he made about the industrial labor problems in the country. He was appalled at how the United States couldn't pull together their economic system in regards to the workforce, and stressed the idea that the United States needed to become more stable in order to reach its goal of worldwide peace. He called the tension and mistrust between the United States and the Soviet Union a cold war because it was a war that lacked physical fighting. Instead of physical fighting, the Cold War was a war between Soviet Communism and American capitalism over information.…
