...Your Name Instructor’s Name Course Name Date of Submission POLITICAL SATIRE Thesis Statement Political satire does in various ways alter the political history as it strengthens and accompanies political accomplishments. Political satire aims to inform individuals about matters pertaining to the general public as well as issues interconnected to government and politics, in a lighter but educational manner. It not only acts as a curative means to entertain citizens but also has a substantial effect on the political scene of a country. Based on this, “Political satire in the 21st century has a higher impact on the public opinion than a revealing newspaper article through creating humor and simplicity." Introduction The use of satire to express thoughts, themes, and opinions has been in existence since the early ages. It was written by an old Irish bard in an effort to put his solemn contempt upon the intended target. Mostly, satire targeted leaders, their styles of leadership, ideas and actions. The satire on the king, especially during the Irish king’s regime, was liable to result in his dethronement or even death. Political satire has been used in the past periods and continues to be used to criticize the political scenes in a humorous way. The use of satire over centuries as a literary tool has made it possible for essential thoughts, themes, and ideas to be passed across and expose the malfunctions and flaws in the society in a humorous manner. Over...

...Cartoon Analysis. Name: Wai Yuen Course: Composition II Lecturer: Institution: City & State: Date: The cartoonist, David Horsey, use symbolism theme of a soldier and a wolf to illustrate the U.S military withdrawal from Iraq. He vividly depicts the western Coalition troops' situation in Iraq by placing the soldier inside a treacherous and hideous wolf's mouth. The soldier represents the western Coalition troops while the wolf represents Iraq. He is trapped inside the wolf's mouth and surrounded by its sharp teeth. His eyes are wide open and focused outside the wolf’s mouth as if requesting for external help from that situation. He has a helmet on his head to emphasize how hostile his environment is with situations such as bomb attacks being one of them. In the cartoon, we see the soldier within inches of the wolf's tongue, and if he advances further he may be rolled up by and engulfed by it. Consequently, he cannot withdraw himself due to the surrounding sharp teeth which can tear him into pieces. The wolf looks barbaric and ferocious, an image which is an analogous description of some nomad countries which apprehend international peaceful treaties. The cartoonist further scribbles “Iraq" on the head of the wolf to drive the point home about who he is referring to. The phrase “Whatever you think of how I got in here, you have to agree the tricky part will be getting out." was the only statement by the soldier in the entire drawing. This statement carries...

Movies like Gangs of Wasseypur, Gandu (‘Arsehole’), The Dirty Picture, Miss Lovely and many more are getting international recognition but at the same time are criticized in India. A very recent example of censorship in India is the Internet, which comes under the amendment made in 2008 to IT Act( which governs the internet) because of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, the financial capital of India. The amendment: 69B.

...Karl Marx (1818-83) grew up in Germany under the same conservative and oppressive conditions under which Kant and other German philosophers had to live. The Enlightenment had had some liberating effects on German life here and there, but most German principalities were still autocratic, and the idea of democracy was combated by all their rulers. The presence of police spies at major universities was a regular feature of German student life, and some students served long prison sentences for their political activism. As a law and philosophy student at the University of Berlin, Marx joined a political club that advocated political democracy. Very soon after receiving his doctorate, however, his ideas went beyond mere political reform. His future friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels introduced him to socialist and communist ideas, i. e., to ideas which progressed from mere political to social and economic reforms. For the rest of his life Marx dedicated himself to the project of radically restructuring modern industrial society along socialist and communist lines. In time he became the single most important theoretician and prominent leader of a growing international labor movement. Since Marx participated in the Revolution of 1848 as an influential newspaper editor (in a revolution that was defeated by the monarchists, and the defeat of which led scores of liberal Europeans to emigrate to the United States and elsewhere), he found it preferable to leave the stifling and backward...

...STREET ART BY: HANI MUAMMAR SAE Introduction Art is a great way for individuals to express themselves, many artworks can be deemed as controversial especially when artists produce their art in order to express their views, feelings or specific ideas linked to their political, social or economical surroundings. Such art could have significant effects which may influence the people who appreciate its core meaning and could link it to the status quo in any named community. Certain techniques, styles and structures are implemented by many famous artists in order to construct this art into a form that typifies them as artists and gives them their unique signature. (heghine666 2011) One specific artist has been largely famous for his controversial and unique forms of art, he is known by the alias “Banksy” who uses graffiti street art as a structure for his unique form of art. Banksy is arguably the most well-known street artist in the world. Some pieces of his urban graffiti art, with its distinctive stencil style, have been sold at auctions for remarkable amounts of money, but most importantly, he has inspired many people around the world for having pieces which touches upon sensitive and core social, political and economic situations in life that many people can easily relate to. His name, style, and brand of urban anti-war, anti-establishment, and rebellious art have earned him a place in the hearts of many who appreciates it.

...Engineer Patricia Galloway believes that serving as the first woman president of the 151-year-old American Society of Civil Engineers — a historically male bastion if there ever was one — makes her a role model to women in the industry. It's high times for women leading construction-related engineering groups, with three others currently in high office. The same goes for construction organizations. Nova Group's Carole L Bionda is chairelect of Associated Builders and Contractors. Meanwhile, the US House Education and Workforce Committee last month passed the Family Time Flexibility Act (H.R. 1119) which could undermine workers' most basic rights by altering the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which currently requires employers to pay overtime to certain employees when they are required to work beyond the normal 40 hour work week.( Peterson 98) At home, we're aware (perhaps painfully so) that men and women often have different communication styles. But it's easy to forget that such differences can show up at work, too. To do an effective job of communicating, keep in mind gender-related communication styles. Young boys are socialized to give an immediate answer or solution to a problem. Young girls want answers, too, but tend to talk things over to solve problems. So while a man might prefer to work things out for himself, a woman is more likely to want to discuss them. According to researcher Deborah Tanhen, author of Talking from 9 to 5, when a woman starts to discuss an...
