         <description><![CDATA[<div>The author uses a satire to represent how shootings in the United States are more common than they were before. He makes it seem like they happen everyday to symbolize the constant&nbsp; fear and danger American people go through.<br><br><em>Concept: culture&nbsp;</em></div><div><br></div><div>American culture is currently a very aggressive culture, it is well known there are lots of media that influence on people’s thoughts and acts, such as the terrible news they hear everyday. Nowadays this is a very dangerous issue, since it impulses people to commit serious crimes that can damage not only themselves, also people around them. The shooting percentages keep raising, everyday there is more issues regarding shootings, result of the influence that an aggressive environment leaves in their citizens.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br><em>Global issue: </em>Culture, identity, <mark>community</mark>.<br><br><em>Shootings:</em><br>I think it relates to community because it represents a big issue such as dangerous shootings in the United States, which leads to how this is something that has shaped the communities in that country's sense of secureness, due to the uncertainty they have about this negative armed activities &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The FIFA wants to appear politically correct by pretending to care about social issues such as LGBTQ rights and discrimination. But, for example, in 2022 they decided to celebrate the World Cup in a place where human rights are violated. At this point they only want to be socially accepted; even if people criticize them, they will pretend that it hurts them to seem morally and politically correct, but the truth is they do not actually care. This is shown in the illustration by how the soccer player pretends to be physically hurt, when in reality he just wants to make people think he is affected so he can win. <br><br><em>Concept: Representation&nbsp;</em></div><div><br></div><div>This cartoon along with being very creative regarding the way of showing reality through a metaphoric drawing, also correctly represents the current situation certain communities have to go through everyday. It representantes how big companies only take action about social issues, in this case the LGBTQ community, when it puts their reputation in the game. They do not seriously care about the issue, they just want people to think they are politically and morally acting well. And, if someone criticizes them, they pretend to act hurt, in order to gain credibility from the audience.&nbsp;</div><div><br><em>Global issue:</em> Politics, <mark>power </mark>and <mark>justice</mark>.<br>I think it can represent power and justice because FIFA is the international governing body of football, which makes them not only in the public eye but also very influential. This means that despite having a lot of power, it chooses to act morally incorrectly behind closed doors, only acting morally correct when they are being watched. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I chose this cartoon because I found it interesting the way the author portrayed the current news about Elon Musk buying Twitter and attempting to eliminate content moderation, since it is represented in a very creative way. He metaphorically symbolizes Twitter's birth as a literal one and puts an ax in Elon Musk's hand to indicate he will destroy it.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>Concept: Creativity <br>I consider this piece to be really creative in the way it decides to transmit certain information, for example, by literally using conservative moderation with an ax. The idea of Elon Musk literally destroying it gives more emphasis to how important it is to him and how it will influence the world.<br><br><br>Global issue: Censorship<br>Politics, <mark>power </mark>and justice&nbsp;<br><br>Censorship is the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," normally conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies. In the case of this cartoon, it is seen how Elon Musk is going to metaphorically destroy content moderation on Twitter, which means he wants to end up with censorship inside Twitter. Censorship is a terrible issue because it denies the opportunity to choose from all possible alternatives and thereby violates intellectual freedom.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I chose this image since, even if it seems simple, I think it hides a lot of meaning regarding how women lack rights. the way the girl had to cut her own hair since she could not get away from the ball that was draining her. which means women in Iran are seriously affected by its regime and need to go through so much in order to survive and run away in good conditions.<br><br>Concept:Representation .<br><br>Global issue: lack of human rights.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think this cartoon to depicts how disinformation and media manipulation effect people in nations such as Russia, representated in this drawing by symbolically shutting them up in a bubble. The contrast between within and outside the bubble is fascinating, because the outside is painted in dark hues to represent devastation. Along with the girl in the TV being extremely happy and the phrase on the side of the man that says "Doma sweet doma,"&nbsp; which indicates how the man is comfortable inside a lie, probably because he does not know any better.<br><br>Concept: Representation<br><br>It represents censorship and how it can affect people. although it sets an unrealistic environment. It fulfills its purpose by communicating the idea of how people live ignorant of certain issues around the world because of censorship and corruption.&nbsp;<br><br>Global issue: Censorship and Corruption<br><mark>Politics, power</mark> and justice&nbsp;<br><br>It represents this global issue because, normally, corrupt governments are the ones to use censorship in order to maintain ignorant people around the world and even their own citizens. It becomes an important issue to the point where, due to this problem, people do not really have an awareness of how other people around the world live.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Concept: Perspective&nbsp;</em></div><div><br></div><div>I chose the concept of perspective because in the cartoon it can be seen too big global issues being compared, one that has existed since a long period of time in history, which is racism, and the other one a much recent problem, covid 19. Through they both are very serious issues, must people consider coronavirus more important and relevant than racism, not only because it is recent, but because they think it has already been solved. The reality is that the world still battles with this problem and has never gotten completely rid of it. So, it is not correct to ignore it due to the current debut of a new global issue.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br>Global issue:<br>Covid 19 - racism&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Concept:<br><br>Global issue: Racism<br><br>Racism can be defined as the action of discriminating against or threatening someone differently because of their race, ethnicity, nationality, or skin color. It is a serious global issue because it affects primarily black people, who are judged and treated differently because of their skin color. This is shown in the cartoon when comparing how police and military forces react towards black and white people. Black people are treated with indifference and receive violence, while white people receive kindness.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>Concept: creativity <br></em><br>I chose creativity because I think the concept of how anti- Vaxxers are people who basically kill other people since they do not investigate or think about the others around&nbsp; them,&nbsp; is very well represented because the author uses the symbol of death as a human in order to indicate how dangerous these kind of people can be and how much they have negatively affected the world . Basically, the representation of the message that the cartoon wants to transmit is incredibly well portrayed using symbols and a unique sense of art.&nbsp;<br><br>Global issue:</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>I chose this cartoon because it is extremely creative. The way the author decided to represent anti-vaxxers and using the little brain to symbolize they are not intelligent is brilliant. This is especially true since he did not need to use any words but only graphic resources to communicate the idea.<br><br><em>Concept: creativity&nbsp;</em></div><div><br></div><div>This cartoon can be related to creativity since it represents in a very clever and artistic way a metaphoric idea. The idea it wants to represent is how anti- Vaxxers presumably have a much more smaller brain than people who care for their health and get vaccinated, because they do not use already tested vaccines to care for their bodies health, even if they risks other people’s lives because of their actions, the brain being little symbolizes their lack of intellect. The fact of using the image of the grinch and an x-ray tablet was what made this work innovative and creative.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br>Global issue:<br>Health<br><br>Anti-vaxxers cause serious harm not only to themselves but also to the health of the people around them. This is a serious issue because it collectively harms a large population. Even if vaccines are scientifically proven to work, certain people decide to believe what they prefer to.</div>]]></description>
