Is it easier to find a war than a job these days? Do people believe that education is not an important factor of life. This cartoon is arguing that with the wars going on and the economy being so poor, that it is easier to find a war then to find a job. It is also arguing that the wars going on is so huge and they have tried to put a stop to it but nothing has been done to make it stop. It is arguing that the president is doing so much with the war that he is not doing as much to create more jobs for people in the US. It is arguing that it is easier to be a soldier in this day in age because this war doesn't look like it has an end, and jobs are so scarce right now that it would be so much easier for people to find a job in the army.
It effects people as they see this cartoon greatly because without it saying "its easier to find a war then a job these days" it would just be a picture of a army guy with a paper in his hand looking at a guy in a cap and gown with a diploma in hand. The cartoon really makes the reader realize what the picture in the cartoon means. The text in this cartoon really makes the cartoon make sense. The cartoon explains how it would be easier to find a war than to find a job even as a graduate with a diploma.
This political cartoon is very effective in getting across the argument by the visual picture and by the quote "i figure its easier to find a war than a job these days." The quote and picture work together to make this ad effective and bring across the argument.
