2. DESCRIPTION / MEANIG / PURPOSE

a. This cartoon takes place  in a office. I can see two men, one's using her computer and the other one is standing next to his desk, he's listening to him. I notice that both of them aren't wearing casual clothes so I think it's an uniform composed a green skirt, and a blue trousers. One has red hair and the  second has the second to baldness. They are probably co-workers because they are wearing the same clothes. The one in front of the computer is happy and the other is perplexed.

b. The cartoonist meant that there existed a group where people have problems with the internet, it gathers on the internet. It is ironical.

3. IMPACT / VIEWPOINT / BRANCHING OUT 

a. I think this drawing is representative of today's world because more and more people are addicted to the internet and can not do without.

b. I think this drawing is representative of today's world because more and more people are addicted to the internet and can not do without.

c. I think this is a real problem because globally web junkies spend less time working, thinking or doing housework.
They give less importance to rest and are more willing to sacrifice their sleep time and most of them are lonely.

    OK but I'm afraid this is extremely sketchy.

POST4 : MYTHS & HEROES: THE AMERICAN DREAM

American Dream Definition : The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. The American Dream is rooted in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal" with the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Also, the U.S. Constitution promotes similar freedom, in the Preamble: to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" Symbols of American Dreams : For me the symbols of American Dreams are a family together around a table : man, woman and children. They all look happy with a big smile and ravisant looking. They're next to a lake with a boat, maybe theirs. The weither is beautiful as it...

The association "march for our lives" denouces the legalisation of guns in United-States and the death that it generates, about 0,1% of the american population. In their own words : We demand bold action to end the Gun Violence Epidemic . Their most famous mottos are "NEVER AGAIN", "STOP GUN VIOLENCE" or "PROTECT KIDS NOT GUNS" Their mission  "To harness the power of young people across the country to fight for sensible gun violence prevention policies that save lives." The Children of Your Country Are Calling You to Action Two of these young women gave up tickets to see Hamilton in order to march. If you don't understand the gravity of that sacrifice, if you can't see how this proves their commitment, then you don't understand the power of Lin-Manuel Miranda.

POST3 : New technologies: an aid to evolution

    🚷 NEW TECHNOLOGY : WATER-SPRAYING POLES 🚷   For me the best example of the help that new technologies offer is in China. They are water-spraying poles (as shown in the pictures below) for the pedestrians who don't respect the rules. The Chinese province of Hubei came up with the idea of installing lines of yellow poles on two sides of a crossover capable of detecting pedestrians who forcing the zebra crossing and sprinkling them with water. Examples of these poles, in Daye, Hubei Province. Road accidents can be avoided in the simplest of ways. It consists first and foremost of a respect for road safety also valid for pedestrians. How many pedestrians try, every day, to "force" the pedestrian crossing while the little guy is red ? Decisions that can lead to dramatic consequences. So, in China, a province had the idea of setting up a special facility to deter these "delinquents" from pedestrian crossings. In the city of Daye, in Hubei provin...
