This political cartoon highly expresses basically most situations that are covered on the media. With the use of humor and simple to understand cartoons, these cartoon's purpose are to bring awareness of current events and issues that are happening in this world. As you can see on this political cartoon about television media, with a touch of sarcasm it is showing how most events that are covered and reported on the news are mostly grim and horrible situations. Can this world get any messed up? for once can something amazingly pleasant happen in this world. This cartoon is basically mocking how "bright" are all the topics that the media covers. Its expressing how the people feel, that we want more good situations to occur and to be broadcasted so everyone can actually see the "bright side" in this world. But we can only hope.

Many people nowadays find reading Foundational seminal texts incredibly long and "boring". That is probably why this generation of people are slowly getting less smarter over the years. I believe that Reading and acknowledging old seminal texts is very important. It exposes us to new ideas and causes us to think more. New ideas and thought are the most important reasons to read or to study what has been written. It also teaches us about the world and other people, and also reflects history. It makes us, in a way, learn and to probably not make the same mistakes that have happened before which were stated in the seminal texts. Also, it helps us improve our nation slowly by informing us the past problems and how we should act upon encountering certain situations. It basically leads us to the correct path seeing how our past generations dealt with things. As you can now see how important these texts are, maybe people can ignore the fact of how it may be boring, and can now start reading them and be informed on our nation's history and our past generations.
