The Political Cartoon is Rich in RevolutionIrvin Goldman
Political cartoons have had a tremendous impact on the way history has unfolded, particularly before the majority of the population was able to read. One simple image defining complex social issues are the crux of what makes political cartoons so effective for both the layman and the erudite.

In Visual Thinking class we are studying a major political issue, Income Inequality, and also looking at the work of 3 artists who's work could be considered propaganda. The project is to make a hypothetical billboard, which will be displayed on the busiest freeway in the USA for one month, with a message related to solutions to the problem of Income Inequality.

The movie-made Movement:
civil rites of passage
Sharon Monteith
Memory believes before knowing remembers.
(William Faulkner)
Forgetting is just another kind of remembering.
(Robert Penn Warren)
Film history cannibalises images, expropriates themes and tech-
niques, and decants them into the contents of our collective
memory. Movie memories are influenced by the (inter)textuality of
media styles – Fredric Jameson has gone so far as to argue that such
styles displace ‘real’ history. The Civil Rights Movement made real
history but the Movement struggle was also a media event, played
out as a teledrama in homes across the world in the 1950s and
1960s, and it is being replayed as a cinematic event. The interrela-
tionship of popular memory and cinematic representations finds a
telling case study in the civil rights era in the American South. This
chapter assesses what films made after the civil rights era of the
1950s and 1960s express about the failure of the Movement to sus-
tain and be sustained in its challenges to inequality and racist injus-
tice. It argues that popular cultural currency relies on invoking
images present in the sedimented layers of civil rights preoccupa-
tions but that in the 1980s and 1990s movies also tap into ‘struc-
tures of feeling’. Historical verisimilitude is bent to include what
Tom Hayden called in 1962 ‘a reassertion of the personal’ as part of
the political, but it is also bent to re-present the Movement as a
communal struggle in which ordinary southern white people are
much more significant actors in the personal and even the public
space of civil rights politics than was actually the case. Historical
facts as we retrieve and interpret them are only one facet of the
movie-made Movement.

The movie-made Movement 121
In a reception-driven analysis, film genres and sub-genres do not
exist until they become necessary. It would be impossible to argue
that something called ‘civil rights cinema’ existed before the end of
the 1980s, by which time a provisional sub-genre of feature films
had begun to develop around race and rights with reference out to
the Movement. In the 1960s films that examined civil rights strug-
gles in any guise at all were usually reviewed as ‘small town movies’
or ‘southern melodrama’ or ‘social problem pictures’. Over the last
two decades of the twentieth century, there has developed a criti-
cally self-conscious body of work on commemoration and retrieval
and it is during this period that, as Richard Rorty has observed, ‘the
novel, the movie and the TV program . . . gradually but steadily
replaced the sermon and the treatise as the principal vehicles of
moral change and progress’.1 Before this, movies with plots incor-
porating civil rights struggles could turn up in any popular genre
from westerns to courtroom dramas, and even comedies.

Paper#1In his great work, Black Reconstruction in America 1860.docxsmile790243
Paper#1
In his great work,
Black Reconstruction in America 1860 to 1880
, historian W.E.B. Du Bois wrote this: "One reads the truer deeper facts of Reconstruction with a great despair. It is at once so simple and human, and yet so futile. There is no villain, no idiot, no saint. There are just men; men who crave ease and power, men who know want and hunger, men who have crawled."
Assess the events of Reconstruction from the perspective of the nearly four million newly freed Americans in the South, starting with the death of Lincoln and ending with the Compromise of 1877. What went right? What went wrong? What would you have done differently?
Make sure to provide authoritative sources in APA format.

Paper#2
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most complex figures in our nation's history. He was also president during a period in which, before radio or TV, political cartoons in newspapers truly flourished. Choose one cartoon of TR and explain its meaning. What is the issue at hand? Is it a positive portrayal of TR or a negative one and what is your evidence for your opinion? Finally, what does the cartoon reveal about TR's character? Make sure to paste the cartoon you investigate below your response!
Paper#3
Many people do not realize that Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), was a political cartoonist as America entered and fought World War II. His cartoons during this period address many issues, from the dangers of Nazism to racism here at home. (The cartoon below, for example, mocks isolationism and the 'America First' movement.)
Choose one cartoon from Dr. Seuss from the 1930's or 1940's and explain its larger historical context. Who or what is being addressed and what do you feel Dr. Seuss is "saying" about the subject through the medium of his art? Do you feel Dr. Seuss has a positive or a negative view toward the characters in the cartoon you select? Do you agree with Dr. Seuss' point of view in the cartoon you select?
Make sure to paste the cartoon you investigate below your response!
Make sure to provide authoritative sources in APA format.
Paper#4
From November 1963 to January 1969, Lyndon B. Johnson served as president during some of the nation's most tumultuous years since the Civil War.
Assess his presidency. What were his accomplishments? What were his failures? Overall, did Johnson have a positive impact on America or a negative one and what is the historical evidence that supports your view? Make sure to bring in foreign and domestic issues and events to support your views.
Make sure to provide authoritative sources in APA format.
Paper#5
In a series of speeches in 1967, Dr. King first used the phrase "two Americas" to describe the link between racism and economic inequality. John Edwards, the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, popularized this phrase, using "two Americas" to refer to the increased so.
The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docxssuser454af01
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.

His death apparently closed a raucous, controversial saga, one of the most bitter and brutal in our nation’s history, with McCarthy typecast as the villain. Events of recent years, however, suggest the final chapters of this astounding story have yet to be recorded.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
