Feedback September 15-19 - Political Cartoons


The main visual elements are the gigantic man with a ribbon that says "CAPITALISM" across his chest holding a small man with a tag that says "LABOR" above the bags labeled as "PROFITS FROM CHILD LABOR." I think this cartoon is about how rich men earn money by taking advantage of child labor. I think the cartoonist's opinion on this issue is that the poor people working for the rich people actually make the money the rich people gets because money is falling from the labor that the huge man is holding in the picture and there's bags labeled "PROFITS FROM CHILD LABOR" underneath the labor and the falling money. The cartoonist could have drawn the huge man with a bit meaner face to make the picture more persuasive. Also, I think that if there were more labor, it would be a little more persuasive because many people work for rich people.
