The idea of progress

The idea of progress

1. How does the new generation evolve?

2. Is Internet the new access to culture?

3. What is the problem between the old generation and the new?

4. Can Piracy be illegal nowdays?

This cartoon can illustrate the notion of progress because we can see the contrast between the old generation and the new one and how society evolves according to the different generation. We can also see diffrent clothes. Actors are well dressed and the fan has got a "@" on his t-shirt, and actors can't wear this sort of t-shirt because they are not always on the internet as the younger generation.

Now we have less and less advertising against piracy than before and this cartoon gives an exemple for young people who don't realize how dangerous it is.

This decision was taken by the US government to prevent immigrants from entering the USA illegally. We can see the wall between these 2 countries. On the left, we can see a man walking in the sand and judging from his sombrero, we can deduce that he is Mexican because it’s a stereotype of Mexican people. In cartoons, illustrators decide to include a lot of stereotypes. The man is very tired by his journey. The country at the right is the USA. We can see all the skyscrapers in the background on the US side and a Mc Donald’s logo in the middle of the desert. Those two elements are symbols of the USA which is a globalized country. The American flag and a sign that reads "US borders keep out" are placed above the border but the flag is not with its origina...
