This political cartoon was made in late the 1920s, during the Great Depression. The unknown author made the cartoon to show his support for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his ability to build the economy using his reforms known as the New Deal to build the economy after the fall of the market.
During the 1860’s, there was tremendous tension between immigrants and Americans in the United States. To portray this “tension”, a political cartoon that was drawn by an unknown cartoonist to depict that America’s culture was in danger. This political cartoon is called “The Great Fear of the Period That Uncle Sam May be Swallowed by Foreigners: The Problem Solved” and was published in San Francisco, California by White & Bauer. The central goal for publishing this cartoon was to bring fear among the Americans, and therefore blame the immigrants.
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

Thomas Nast, 1840-1902, was a political cartoonist who is known by some historians as “the father of modern political American political cartooning” (Simpson, ANBO). This is due in part because Nast was the individual who created the donkey symbol to represent the Democratic Party and elephant symbol to represent the Republican Party. Another reason why he earned this title and therefore should be studied is that he changed the way cartoonists delivered their context. Before the Civil War cartoonist relied on dialogue rather than imagery to get the message across, However; Nast used pictures to convey the message of his cartoons (Simpson, ANBO). Since his cartoons did not need words to convey the message he was able to reach the illiterate community more effectively than other cartoonists of his time. Those viewing his cartoons not only would have been educated about the social and political events unfolding around them, but also would have picked up on Nast’s political opinions related to these events. Nast’s cartoons were one of the means in which the illiterate community gained information they would use to influence the political sphere. A large portion of the illiterate community were male ex-slaves who gained rights including the right to vote through the Reconstruction Amendments which would prove the difference in the 1868 presidential elections.
Andrew Jackson is shown in all three cartoons. The first cartoon’s significance is showing Andrew Jackson as “King Andrew”. The main importance of this is to show he had power and could veto bills. There are no dates or certains numbers in this cartoon. The word veto standed out to me and the declaration of independence on the floor in this cartoon the most. Andrew is showing a stern and powerful emotion in his face to express a sense of power. Andrew is standing stern and tall in the cartoon, and i believe the overall message is to show andrews power. I believe I would have disagreed with the cartoon at the time, because I don 't agree with the fact of expressing power through a king position. I believe the depiction of andrew was unfair because he did not rule as if he was king.
We live in a society that can sometimes be so reliant on products that we sometimes can’t imagine what life was like before machines. The first machines were created during a time called the Industrial Revolution which was a turning point in history. People were finally able to mass produce different products. Before this time, people had businesses that could be run at your home since you were making products by hand and you didn’t need much space. The Industrial Revolution introduced new machines that were sometimes massive in size and allowed production to move much faster and more efficiently. Since these machines were so big, people began to rent out large buildings to store these machines and run their businesses. These buildings are
During the age of Industrial, many immigrants were used to maintain the balance of the world. Because many immigrants didn’t know English, the life of America was hard for them. Many of the immigrants were able to get jobs, but work was everything for them. Many of the immigrants were put in tenement housing, used to mass produce, and helped one person monopoly the country. Because of these things, the success of the Industrial Revolution was not worth the cost.

In an era of technological advances and milestones, the formation of new monopolies is a new reality. Very few could have foreseen the enormous success and power, big tech companies would gain.

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.
First of all, how changes in technology or technology advancement will affect the company? In the era of technology, technologies always have a short period of time. New tech will replace old tech immediately this is because companies from all over the globe strive to create a better future for the world with technology. If Apple Company did not upgrade their product more often or create a better technology for their upcoming products, they will not be able to outdo their competitors, the company will not be able to attract any customers from buying the products. Not only that, competitors of Apple will start offering cheap and alternative technology in their own products and services at a much lower cost. This will affect customers loss of interest towards Apple products as they find it no longer unique (Slideshare, 2016). Technological advancement has always force Apple Company to invest a lot in technology as it is largely invested in product research and development field to push the product’s ranking into a much higher rank through their innovative side. For example, one of the most innovative and technologically product will be the IPod touch as it is a big step towards the replacement of basic mp3 (Slideshare, 2014). If Apple Company did not put any pressure towards the research and development department, it is clear to say that without the advance technology, the company will become obsolete. It is a fact that trends of the marketplace are slowing developing into something much more greater. Here is an example of trend of technological development in the industry involved. The biggest trend of all that is developing is cloud computing. The benefits of cloud computing are just endless and it is right now one of the biggest trend of technology development. With cloud computing, it enables companies to share, store and consume resources easier, at a lower cost and with greater flexibility. Not
Nicolas Carr, an author and researcher, insinuates that people who use computers and the internet are becoming more shallow human beings and that this technological tool, despite its advantages that are applauded by many, is harming society as a whole. Carr has discussed these thoughts in his book The Shallows, on television in an interview with Stephen Colbert, and in an article in The Atlantic entitled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” While Carr believes that the internet has its place and that it has been extremely helpful to him as a researcher and writer, he also believes that the internet encourages multitasking and boosts superficiality. I share these same thoughts with Carr. While the internet has been extremely helpful in producing a more efficient and fast-paced environment, it has at the same time produced challenges and weaknesses in our society, like multitasking and frivolity.

magine a small start-up based in a small, crowded and old garage, employing a mere handful of workers and individuals who are working long hours without pay due to their boss’s inability to pay their salaries.
