The moment that the Twin Towers fell in New York, America became destined for change. In the wake of these attacks, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was quickly passed through congress, and signed by then-president, George W. Bush. The act itself gives the FBI and other government agencies the ability to do and use certain methods, many of which are already used by other law enforcement organizations, to help prevent future terrorist attacks. Since then, this piece of legislation has been the center of much debate and controversy. But, there is ample reason to believe that the Patriot Act is needed and effective. The Patriot Act has been used effectively because it has extensive supervision, is completely constitutional, and has helped to protect

As a whole, political cartoons can heavily influence society in multiple ways. The press has always expressed their views/opinions about politics in clever ways, and these cartoons are only one of

Amendments are an important system in America without amendments it would be totally different. An example, alcohol would still be prohibited if the 21st amendment didn’t repeal the 18th amendment. What an amendment means is an article added to the constitution.

M.E. Cohen’s cartoon focuses on persuading parents and teachers to guide children to make the right decisions about health.

The cartoon asks the question," What good is it being American if you don't look the legal?" with a SPF 12,000 tan block bottle in the middle. On the bottle it states that light skin

In February 25, 1957 Alfred E. Butler, was found guilty of breaking a Michigan state law that forbids the making, ownership and spreading of, or distribution of any writing and pictures or records that are have offensive language and are not accepted by societal standards. The court ruled in favor of Michigan State as Butler has violated the state law. He lost the case in a vote of 9 - 0 and was fined 100 dollars ("Butler v. Michigan."). The problem with this case is not that he was found guilty; the problem is that the state legislated a law that goes completely against the First Amendment that prohibits governments from creating laws that take away the citizens right and protects the citizens from their government. Butler did in fact violate

Source 1 depicts the lack of collectivism between the Aboriginal people and the generation we live today. This shows the strong liberal stance in which has been imposed onto the minds of Aboriginal people. “In the earlier days, people shared food even if they didn’t have much, as long as there was a little bit of extra food” shows the major decline of food in the ancient generation of Inuit people. When people came close to each other, their collectivist ideas grew into a much a larger extent in which sharing became a fundamental part of their life. These people are not been bothered to look after, thereby growing into a minority society. Their co-operation is evidently deficient, therefore leading to an increase in individualistic ideas. The rich people who are in the first class are greedy who

In the 1950’s the cold war had begun. The fear of retaliation from communists was at large. Some Americans believed that communists were amongst them plotting. This lead to a dark time in history when American opportunity became limited for many. Most rights were limited, normal life was disrupted, and the most necessary human right may have been taken. All of these restrictions limited the American opportunity making it an age of fear and oppression rather than an age of opportunity.

Have you ever wondered why some college campus protests are shutdown even though the first amendment is in place? The first amendment does not always protect in every situation. The first amendment wasn’t enforced much until the 1960’s and 70’s, when the anti-war and gender equality protests first started. College campuses have a right to impede on the first amendment if it is restricting someone else’s rights. In many cases some protesters will block off an entrance to an event or will start to harass people walking past. In rarer cases some will protest on things that may cause fights.

Scott McCloud begins his graphic essay, Show and Tell, with a series of sixteen panels of a young boy demonstrating how to turn a toy robot into an airplane. By doing so, McCloud is informing the reader of just how everyone starts out as a child. For example, as McCloud points out, at a day like “Show and Tell”, students would present with them their favorite animal or whatever was needed for that day to present to the class. This is just like using words and images interchangeably which is what everyone was taught to do as a kid. However, this is all considered normal so long as the child grows out of this habit as they approach pre-adulthood. In his graphic essay, McCloud outlines the stereotypes that people associate with comics.

The Patriot Act allows for government investigators to share information on suspected terrorists with other branches of the government much easier than before 9/11 so that tragedy’s like this can be avoided in the future. While intense backlash has been received regarding the Patriot Act’s effects on immigration, and unlawful surveillance, the small negatives that have yet to been proven true much outweigh the good this law can do in protecting the lives of innocent Americans. With the Patriot Act countless lives have been saved without the masses without even realizing they have been saved. According to a speech given by President Bush three years after he signed the law into place, with the Patriot Act a one man terrorist plan turned into

Named the Coercive or Intolerable Acts by the American colonists, these acts were passed by Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, an event which consisted of the violent destruction of merchandise of the East India Company. These acts closed the Port of Boston, demanded recompense for the damaged and lost tea, cut down town meeting times, and allowed the British-appointed Governor of Boston to appoint council members, as opposed to having them elected by popular vote. These actions incited much anger amongst colonists across America, demonstrating a quickly growing sense of unity among the often divided colonies.

The given source is a political cartoon addressing the issues in North Korea about their recent threats of nuclear war by use of analogies. The cartoon depicts the totalitarian leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. In the picture Kim Jong Un is depicted with his hair cut extending into a black mushroom cloud and the words “Some bad days are worse than others” written next to him. Through the entirety of his control over north Korea, Kim Jong un has become a laughable figure to the rest of the world. Due to his unrealistic views and his peculiar looks, most specifically his iconic hair cut he is constantly viewed as a joke. The cartoonist takes advantage of this in the image by making fun of his hairstyle, referring to it as a “bad hair day.”

This cartoon was originally published by Jack Ohman for the Sacramento Bee in 2016. Ohman, finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Award drew this cartoon to portray Americans and the inability to decipher what is truly dangerous. The cartoon about Ebola and other causes of death shows that the main concerns of our everyday lives should not be focused on the “breaking news story” of the newfound deadly disease, but it should be focused on the lack of effect that the everyday bad habits have on us. American awareness of the importance of living a healthy life is lacking, which is what Ohman was trying to achieve with the cartoon.
