    • Failing: People diagnosed with Covid are failing to stay home and prevent the spread of the virus.

    failing: failure to protect minorities in America
    strategy: shows how the police do not protect, instead they inflict harm as a way of justifying racism  
    desired outcome: encouraging the people in higher power to put an end to police brutality

    Failing: The government's failure to protect it's citizens health and liberties. This is putting more people at risk of getting sick and increasing the growing unrest about the government's handling of Corona and treatment of protestors.
    Strategy: Emphasizes the irony in how the government has it's priorities messed up. it should be working to stop the spread of Corona, but is instead stopping people from exercising their rights the government should be ensuring.
    Desired outcome: To get the government and others in power to realize their twisted priorities and set it straight. Government needs to stop Corona and protect ALL it's citizens and their rights.]]>     2020-10-27 15:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/866268406     Religion in the 1500's micah_nash https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/866416810
    • Name(s): Micah Nash
    • Target: Catholic church and religious leaders of the 16th century
    • Failing: These leaders didn't consider that anyone would dare challenge their religious views and interpretations of the Bible. Therefore, they weren't open to different understandings of Christianity.
    • Strategy: To utilize  a well known piece of history to display that even in the most sensitive parts of life, religion, people are guilty of undermining people's opinions or underestimating people's resolve in carrying out what they believe in.
    • Desired Outcome:  To utilize humor in order for people to recognize that arrogance can be fatal and not taking someone seriously for their opinions is not only rude but also imprudent.

    Failing: Individuals underestimating the severity of the virus, and only seeing it is a source of entertainment or enjoyment.
    Strategy: The composure of the meme, while appealing to a younger audience, demonstrates the ironic tendencies in the situation present. People are creating a source of humor from the very thing that is the cause of so many lives.
    Desired Outcome: Appeal to more teenagers and kids through a meme in hopes of teaching them how dangerous Corona can be as they are more influenced by social media and less aware of how serious the situation is.

    Target: The Coronavirus outbreak happened rapidly, and Quarantine was hard for many families.
    Failing: The government could've better prepared us for the extremity of the self Quarantine so we wouldn't have had to overcrowd stores last minute trying to stock up on groceries and essentials items.
    Strategy: The meme is meant to be relatable to families and people that were in quarantine together, or be used as a symbol to represent the issues of today's world in a joking manner to "lighten the mood" and just to show that you're not alone in this tough situation.
    Desired Outcome: To appeal more to all of those effected by quarantine to emphasize the importance of staying quarantined during a global pandemic, not only for the safety for themselves and their families but also to protect the safety of essential workers and others, such as their families.

    target: The people who aren't taking the illness/pandemic seriously (especially since the president didn't take it serious from the beginning).
    failing: The portion of the public that refuses to wear masks to protect themselves & others from the sickness because of ignorance of the reality of the situation (and who whole-heartedly believe in the president's words).
    strategy: The meme jabs at how, even after the president had covid himself, everyone thought he might finally understand the severity of the illness. Instead, he claimed that it "wasn't that bad," and the meme humors how it's not as bad as "windmill cancer" (something that I learned recently, where he claimed that wind turbines caused cancer).
    desired outcome: Since so many teens/the younger generation all tend to communicate through memes, the hope is that there will be a mutual understanding that the president continues to be ignorant toward the matter at hand (and disregards his privilege at having the best healthcare when telling the American people that the illness "isn't something to worry about"), & that he isn't helping ease the people through this pandemic since so many lives have been lost to the illness, and he's completely disregarding them when saying not to worry about catching it.

This was a problem in America so Americans would be a prime target. 
    Failing: The people against the banning of Twinkies are not focusing on much larger and more problematic issues such as the environment. 
    Strategy: the artist provides a separate group of protesters that are much smaller that are attempting to "save the earth". They also create the image to make the Twinkie protesters look stupid but also a much larger group to symbolize that issue receiving more attention. They use specifically "save the earth" because it makes it seem like the Twinkie protesters do not care for the earth. Also provides the dialogue "we are doomed" to exaggerate the issue and present the idea that if we do not focus on more important issues then "we are doomed". 
    Desired outcome: the desired outcome would be to have more people focus on real problems rather than stupid ones that affect only them and in relation to the cartoon, have more people be on the "save the earth" side rather than the Twinkie side.

    Target: People who trash all their plastic waste
    Failing: The insurmountable amount of plastic waste that's polluting our ocean's and harming our marine life.
    Strategy: Shed light on the plastic waste crisis that is currently killing ocean life, while implementing some comedic relief.
    Desired Outcome: To urge people around the world to cut down on plastic waste and recycle. Governments could also implement tax incentives for companies and citizens to get them to recycle more often, ultimately leading to a return on their initial investment that contained plastic or recyclable materials.

    failing: People don't believe in wearing a mask in public and make up excuses to not wear them.
    strategy: people need to understand that covid isn't a hoax and wearing a mask will help with you and others stay safe, wearing a mask is not only for you but the safety of others. Other countries like Australia have already gotten ride of covid because people quarantined, wore mask, and they took great precautions while America has the most covid cases and has people who believe a mask doesn't work. 
    Desired outcome: To get people to wear a mask and take precautions to help stop the spread of covid. People should wear a mask in public like stores, restaurants, and other public places. If people took covid seriously and took precautions then maybe we wouldn't have so many cases and deaths. And to the people who wear a mask but don't cover their nose then what's the point of wearing one in the first places, people should cover their nose and mouth completely, also to the people who say they have a medical reason not to wear a mask then why even go out in public. It's not hard to wear a mask and take precaution in public.

    Failing: The artist is criticizing today's youth, specifically those in elementary school, for clinging to their phones instead of playing outside. 
    Strategy: The author illustrates children glued to their phones or Ipads sitting in front of a playground and right next to the warning sign, "caution children playing",  and ridicules today's youth by showing that they are spending too much time with their technology instead of enjoying their time outside. 
    Desired outcome: The author's desired outcome is to encourage children to put down their electronic devices and enjoy the outdoors.

    Failing:The artists demonstrates the irony many police are falling into through their gun use and being held accountable.

    Strategy: The author demonstrates how both parties have the same plea, but one is out of fear, and the other is out of being caught on camera. 

    Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this satire is to hold the police accountable for their miss-use of guns in conflict. ]]>     2020-10-28 15:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/870069524     Lucy Morley lucymorley https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/870086612 Target: Conservatives/ people who don't believe in corona virus or think wearing masks are stupid. 
    Failing: The artist is criticizing the irony of conservatives judging everyone for wanting to wear a mask to protect themselves from becoming sick, and how stupid and scared they look, when they are the ones constantly begging to keep their guns to protect themselves and demand they be allowed to wear their M*GA gear everywhere. (We consider M*GA a bad word in this community :)

    Strategy: The artist emphasizes the desire conservatives have to keep all of their guns with them at all times to feel protected, and draw excessive amounts to exaggerate this, in order to make the comment he's making seem even stupider and more ironic; that all people want is to wear their masks to feel safe which is just a little piece of cloth, and that he thinks its stupid and cowardess even though conservatives are the ones demanding all these outrageous protective gear and weapons just to "protect" themselves. 

    Desired outcome: To shame Conservatives into realizing how ironic it is that they are shaming people for wanting to feel safe when they want to be the same way, and to just put on a mask and protect others like everyone else.

    Failing: People in the U.S are failing to realize that the virus is a worldwide thing that is also affected by their actions, not just people of a different race that also live in the U.S
    Strategy: The strategy used in the image is emotion showing how the chinese are perceived in today’s time and how uncomfortable it can make them feel
    Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is to show how hurtful and wrong it is to stereotype a race based on where they may or may not be from.

    Target: the rich 
    failing:The rich are failing to realize how much power that they have and how in holding so much power and money they aren't allowing others (the common people) to survive.
    Strategy: The picture gives a visual of small people representing the common population begging and catching what ever crumbs that they can catch that are left over from the rich , this provokes emotion since its something that most people who aren't wealthy can relate to . 
    The Desired outcome:Is to hopefully change the perception of the rich so that they realize how they are negatively impacting those of a lower socioeconomic status for example paying their workers more .]]>     2020-10-28 22:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/871554919     https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/871619354 2020-10-28 23:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/871619354 Charly Adie https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/872079538 Target: The audience and target of this piece of satire is most likely world leaders, people of authority, possibly specifically US manufacturers and those unaware of the mistreatment in manufacturing businesses.
    Failing: This addresses the governments inability and hypocrisy when not protecting workers and human rights. It illustrates the theme of universal human rights and justice. 
    Strategy: In this piece the artist portrays a worker working for a power, who stands and oversees behind. The worker is seen with a mask around their mouth and is hunched over, symbolizing their uncomfortable being and inhumane treatment. What is to show the irony in the piece, and the source of the satire, is the worker’s product they are manufacturing. They are seen putting together a balance of power scale, which, is well known for its symbolism of justice within our judicial system. This is ironic, as the worker is being forced to work, facing nothing but unfair and mistreatment from the same people who are creating a product that represents freedom, justice, and rights. 
    Desired outcome: The desired outcome is to bring awareness or spark interest on the topic of universal human rights and justice. This piece specifically deals with China, and was created to present the issues that is faced within the manufacturing businesses.

    Failing: People who strongly exercise their 2nd amendment right fail to realize that others are more worried about their children possibly getting shot at at a place they go to learn by people who should not have their hands on weapons of the sort, and fail to recognize the importance of stricter gun laws. 
    Strategy: The strategy of this artist is to show the difference between a mother worried about her child going to school after reading about the Sandy Hook Massacre, a elementary school shooting, vs a man who is more worried about his gun being taken away from him, then the lives of children, teachers and teens in school. 
    Desired outcome: I think the author wants to show just how ridiculous you look when you value a piece of machinery and weaponry over a human life.  THe artist probably wants to recall what is more important in the world and really make people question if the necessary need to own a high powered assault weapon to simply protect themselves. ]]>     2020-11-04 10:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_dill/1j8ky9fn9gd/wish/889342993
