I connect this picture to the idea of "culture" because, although they are terrible, school shootings in the United States and Russia are deeply ingrained in the cultures of both nations. The worldwide issue is "Politics power and justice" because although the United States of America has taken many steps to prevent school shootings, many people still die from them. Additionally, the leaders of Russia and Ukraine are to blame for the conflict.

This image can be connected to the global concerns of politics, power, and justice as well as the IB idea of "culture". Politics and culture since England's monarch is a highly cultural element of the country. Additionally, there are international problems because the royal family isn't elected, which implies that it isn't a democracy. In contrast, prime ministers are chosen and change significantly more frequently than England's king or queen, which is problematic because the queen is the queen by virtue of her birth.

This image relates to the IB concept of "identity" because it shows how Musk and Putin regret their choices, while Trump chooses to place the blame on his wife Melania. Additionally, I selected the global issue of "Beliefs, values, and education" because, whereas Musk and Putin possess the maturity to acknowledge their own faults, Trump is incapable of doing so and instead places the blame elsewhere.

I connect this picture to the IB idea of "perspective" because it illustrates how the democratic party, represented by the donkey, and the republican party, represented by the elephant, have divergent viewpoints on the same issues—in this example, the economy, which is represented by the rose. Since the viewpoints of each political party are an integral part of their identity, I also tie this cartoon to the worldwide topic of "Culture, identity, and community".

I connect this image to the idea of "identity" because it illustrates how the two major US political parties—the Democratic Party, represented by the donkey, and the Republican Party, represented by the elephant—have varying degrees of gravity. While the Democrats are reading sympathy cards for the political violence incident, which is a serious topic, the Republicans are reading about very immature things like underwear and hammer jokes. I connect this image to the worldwide subject of "Politics, power, and justice" because it illustrates the issues and workings of the American political parties.

I choose to connect this image to the idea of "identity" because it illustrates how football games are the "extreme" manifestation of heated politics, demonstrating how people can be more interested in football than in real politics. Furthermore, I connect the image to the global issue of "Culture, identity, and community" because it is unacceptable for people to care more about a football game than true politics, a problem that many people face and which contributes to their culture and identity.

I associate this cartoon with the IB notion of "culture" since it incorporates two elements of American society—mass shootings and the advent—that, despite their wishes, are ingrained in the country. In addition, I connect this to the global issue of "Culture, identity, and community" because mass shootings, which are an issue, are deeply ingrained in American culture and should be improved.

I associate this cartoon with the idea of "representation" because it illustrates how, in the past (symbolized by the cubic television), channels offered news and facts; in the present (symbolized by the flat television), channels solely present false material in an attempt to garner attention. This relates to the worldwide issue of "Beliefs, values, and education" as well because news outlets teach people what to think, and if they are distributing false information, there is a problem.

I associate this cartoon with the idea of "identity" since it reflects Trump's thought process and the "american dream" he seeks to restore. Additionally, I connect it to the worldwide topic of "Politics, power, and justice" because it illustrates Trump's indifference to the citizens of the United States and his sole concern is gaining the presidency.

Since the cartoon depicts what is going on in the Russian military intelligence headquarters and how they are not targeting tanks as they "should," but rather a daycare, I am able to tie it to the IB idea of "representation." I connect this picture to the worldwide topic of "Politics, power, and justice" because it exposes the war crime of Russian intelligence's targeting of people.
