Bill C-51 Cartoon Analysis

622 Words3 Pages

The cartoon that I have chosen represents Bill C-51. Bill C-51 is an anti-terrorist act which the Parliament of Canada has passed to allow Canadian government agencies to know more information about individuals. This bill allows the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to stop terrorist acts from occurring by cancelling suspicious suspects’ travelling plans or by taking control of their finance and banking. With this bill taking place, the police don’t have to be 100% certain that a suspect has committed a harmful act and are allowed to keep someone in the police station for up to three days or prison them for about five years if a crime has been committed. This bill had been released on the 9th of June in 2015.

The sections that are applicable are section 2 ( b), section 7, section 8 and section 9. Section 2 ( b) relates to this cartoon because it can limit our expression. We will not be able to fully express what we think or feel on the internet because the government can see every little thing we do. Even if we do express what we feel it can be used against us and in our defense we cannot use anything. Section 7 is of main relevance to my cartoon because in this section it states that we have the right to life, liberty and security. With this bill, anyone can be sent to prison even though their actions were not intended for terrorist behaviour. This bill will limit the security that every individual gets even though they are innocent. As the other sections are important, section 8 and 9 play a very important role towards this bill. Section 8 states that everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search, but in this bill it is said that police can search you at any time when they suspect some unusual behaviour. I can relate Section 9 because the police now have the right to detain anyone without getting consent from the judges. I believe that these sections apply best to this

Abstract Cartoon sketches are usually meant to be designated for children. Theodore Seuss Geisel, the illustrator of the cat in the hat, used Dr.Seuss as his pen name. He’s one of the most famous cartoonists; he did not only target children but also adults through simple cartoons that held deep meanings behind. He also wrote many books that were translated later on into different languages. He first started his career by working for a magazine and drawing ads for a pesticide company.

The moment that the Twin Towers fell in New York, America became destined for change. In the wake of these attacks, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was quickly passed through congress, and signed by then-president, George W. Bush. The act itself gives the FBI and other government agencies the ability to do and use certain methods, many of which are already used by other law enforcement organizations, to help prevent future terrorist attacks. Since then, this piece of legislation has been the center of much debate and controversy. But, there is ample reason to believe that the Patriot Act is needed and effective.

The USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) was a necessary and effective piece of legislation that enhanced the security of the nation and will continue, in a modified form, to prevent future terrorist attacks although it was quite intrusive on American’s civil liberties. According to detailed study of the decade following 9/11, “If we just look at the decade between 2001 and 2011, we still see that the number of terrorist attacks has declined since Sept. 11.” So, in terms of achieving its goal, it has been successful. Signed into law by President George W. Bush in October of 2001 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the United States during

In American society, the advent of the political cartoon allowed for the general population to talk about taboo or relevant topics whilst still being entertained. Decades later, various forms of media and stand-up comedians incorporate prevalent issues into their comedy, ultimately allowing for the American people to be informed and to communicate about some of the most important issues of their time. Some newer forms of media, such as SNL and the Colbert Report, use comedy and satire to portray a different, more important agenda. For instance, the Colbert Report recently produced a satire bit in his show called The Hungry For Power Games. In it, he compares The Hunger Games to the Presidential race.

“At least 42 terrorist attacks aimed at the United States have been thwarted since 9/11” (Reality). The majority of people know about the tragedy that happened on September 11th, 2001, but not that many people know about what came to be after the event; the Patriot Act.

The Patriot Act allows for government investigators to share information on suspected terrorists with other branches of the government much easier than before 9/11 so that tragedy’s like this can be avoided in the future. While intense backlash has been received regarding the Patriot Act’s effects on immigration, and unlawful surveillance, the small negatives that have yet to been proven true much outweigh the good this law can do in protecting the lives of innocent Americans. With the Patriot Act countless lives have been saved without the masses without even realizing they have been saved. According to a speech given by President Bush three years after he signed the law into place, with the Patriot Act a one man terrorist plan turned into

The title of this cartoon is Obamacare Death Spiral. This cartoon is attempting to illustrate the argument that Obamacare is causing insurance companies to slash coverage, resulting in American patients not being able to afford the medical care that they need to live quality lives. In this cartoon, a man is visiting his doctor, who turns out to be Death. The man’s shirt says Obamacare, which helps to illustrate the irony of him supporting something that is causing him so much difficulty. He asks the “doctor” to give him his news, and, rather than reading a medical chart, the “doctor” is reading a chart showing Aetna’s, a major insurance company, plans for cuts.

Fourth, it provides funding for the law enforcement officers to receive thorough training on how to deal with issues related to racial profiling so they can best avoid them, fifth, it holds law enforcement agencies that are constantly linked to the practice of racial profiling accountable. Unfortunately most of these laws seem to have no meaning at all as innocent citizens continue to suffer all kinds of humiliation due to racial profiling. The laws seems more of just mere statements which are easily stated than effected and it’s like the funds are just wasted because as much as the officers get the training, the problem is still widely
