Sexual Harassment Based on the criteria of pathos, ethos, and logos, the editorial column is better rhetorically than the editorial cartoon. The purpose of this paper is to compare an editorial column and an editorial cartoon. The two texts I am comparing is the editorial cartoon by Gustavo Rodriguez and the editorial column by Megan Humphries on sexual harassment. I am comparing them because sexual assault is a big issue in our world today. It is a well-known social problem that commonly…

In Michael Mays’ book Nation States: The Cultures of Irish Nationalism, he discussed a political cartoon by the editorial cartoonist David Horsey from 1991, which basically suggested that ‘the IRA’s raison d’etre rests solely in a mad campaign of vicious self -perpetuation: “I bomb, therefore I am”’ (Mays, 2007, p149). This cartoon proposed that the only reason the IRA could be as prominent and effective as they were, was their own awareness that the only way to be taken seriously would be…

January 11, 2016 from h http://www.cagle.com/tag/police-brutality/ This political cartoon shows a side by side comparison of the goal of some police officers verses all police officers.

This helps the reader laugh a little bit at the comedic, cartoon looking badges and lighten the mood of the political cartoon. Under the “All Cops” caption, a badge states “To Serve and Protect”,…

Granlund drew a political cartoon depicting the ten-dollar bill, but with a woman as the face of it. In the image you can see that not only is the worth of women not even ten dollars, but that women are seen as second class citizens because of it. The tens that symbolize the bills worth have been crossed out and changed to eight. This signifies that women are worth less than men. Woman have accomplished many feats in the past and should be seen as equals. This political cartoon is very…
