IB Concept related: Perspective, in the comic and in reality the people that were protesting really thought they were doing the right thing and that the voting process really was corrupted.

Global issue related: Trust in the goverment, there is an absence of trust that people have on their own governments, which is why events like this tend to occur.]]> 2022-01-19 03:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/1999420532 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001659787 Explanation: In the comic there is a road that is shaped like the infinity symbol, there is a sign that says world covid-19 marathon, and it seems to be filled with "runners". The idea is pretty simple, the world is just constantly having troubles because of the covid-19, once we think it has died down another wave of infected comes around and we are pretty much back to lockdown.

IB Concept related: Representation, it´s through the comic that Michael de Adder represents how the world is constantly being infected with covid-19, and how it has pretty much become a cycle.

Global issue related: Covid-19, it has pretty much become a global issue due to the negative global effects the virus has had everywhere.]]> 2022-01-19 23:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001659787 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001670875 Explanation: There is a women wearing a red dress, running through a maze of phones that have messages such as: "You´re ugly", "You´re not skinny enough", and other mean half-shown messages, on the screens there is also the instagram logo. The idea is to show how a women may get harrased on the internet, and how these mean comments really get to someone.

IB Concept related: Communication, the communication that occurs through social media can be at often times negative, especially with women who tend to be harrased, bullied, and sexualized.

Global issue related: Cyberbullying, it can happen to anybody for any reason,nowadays with the growth of technology and social media this problem has become very common to spot, in the comic she gets bullied for the way she looks.]]> 2022-01-20 00:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001670875 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001691478 Explanation: In the comic there is text at the top that reads: "343" firefighters, and there seems to be 343 teddybears sorrounding a firefighter helmet. After some research this comic is related to 9/11, where 343 firefighters died and this comic is to honor them and their duty.

IB Concept related: Representation, Michael represents the  fallen firefighters as teddy bears, which symbolize affection, congratulations or sympathy.

Global issue related: Terrorism, to preserve cultural, religious, or political ideologies, some nations, called rogue nations in the world, have taken a firm, and sometimes violent, stance against the global community.]]> 2022-01-20 00:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001691478 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001761008 Explanation: There is some sort of plane that has a facebook logo and text that reads "covid disinformation", and it seems to be dropping a virus, similarly to how an agricultural plane drop pesticides. The idea is about how facebook spreads a lot of misinformation, there are many made up stories and solution related to covid in facebook, yet there are a lot of people who believe this, which lead to a higher infection rate.

IB Concept related: Communication, this is an example of how miscommunication and false media can have a disasterous effect on society.

Global issue related: Fake media and Misscomunication, they are both global issues that have become a lot more evident during this covid-19 era with a lot of fake and unreliable information being quikly spread.]]> 2022-01-20 01:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001761008 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001891603 Explanation: There is a soldier grafiting over a phrase on a broken wall, the phrase reads: "leave no one behind", but the soldier spray paints over the "no one" and writes some, there is also a sign that indicates that it´s in Afghanistan. This is in reference to the US´s army withdrew from Afghanistan, pretty much leavng the afghan people to deal with the Taliban on their own.

IB Concept related: Culture, this event followed with the taliban taking control is a relevant cultural event that has occured.

Global issue related: Military conflict, this was a very controversial topic, whether the military should have left or not, but after the fall of Kabul an evacuation was done instantly, leaving many afghan people with no hope.]]> 2022-01-20 03:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001891603 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001901444 Explanation: There seems to be a dead body at a morgue with all the other morgue refrigerator doors closed, presumambly having corpses in them as well. The idea is that at an anti-vax rally all the participants got covid from not wearing their masks and being unvaxxed, which led to their deaths.

IB Concept related: Representation, for most people an anti-vax rally can seem like this.

Global issue related: Disinformation, quite a lot of people are anti vax due to random and fake information they found and they just believed that instead of the scientists and the experts.

The idea is about the lack of vaccines that was oresent in developing nations, and I find ironic that it´s in a boat rather than an airplane, knowing that it will take much longer this way.

IB Concept related: Representation, it represents the way it must have felt for someone living in a developing nation to get vaccinated, due to how long it took to get there and how little to no vaccines got there.

Global issue related: Inequality, there are very much existing inequalities between developed and developing countries, and this cartoon helps to spread the awareness of this.]]> 2022-01-20 03:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001916891 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001929543 Explanation: On the left frame there is a cupcake with a virus decor on its outside, with a little sign that says covid, on top it says: "Year one in the global pandemic". On the right frame at the top it reads, "Year infinity in the other global pandemic", there is a cupcake which is decorated with some sort of white cream and 2 black dots, and there is a little sign that says racism.

IB Concept: Representation, it represents how racism is something that has pretty much always been present in society, and sadly it will keep being present.

Global issue related: Racism, in itself is a global problem that affects different cultures and ideologies .]]> 2022-01-20 03:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001929543 jmgalecioz https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001936757 Explanation: The cartoon show people storming the capitol, and the kool-aid man is outside saying: "it looks like everybody already drank their kool-aid", while looking sad. This is in reference Kool-aids iconic add where the K.A. man walks through a wall.

IB Concept related: Representation, Michael represents and connects the storming of the capitol with the iconic K.A. man add.

Global issue related: Trust in the goverment, there is an absence of trust that people have on their own governments, which is why events like this tend to occur.]]> 2022-01-20 03:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jmgalecioz/w7qcy7s2cj06mxsq/wish/2001936757
