Instructions The meaning of political cartoons occurs through an analysis of the literal, symbolic, and figurative elements the artist used. You are asked to describe the overall effect of the cartoon, and how the artist’s choices combine to create that effect by posting responses to this discussion assignment that addresses the intent of the cartoon and integrating important course content specific to its intended message. Consider the legislative and executive branches of the national government and the role they play in making—or not making—public policies. Your response must address the following questions: How does this cartoon help you understand the role of the US Congress and president regarding policies about Covid-19? How have these democratic institutions of American government mitigated the concerns illustrated in the cartoon? How effective are memes like this one in informing you about American national government action or inaction? How much value do you place in understanding or applying information viewed from political cartoons? You are encouraged to think creatively and holistically as you assemble your response. Please write in your own words, do not consult outside sources, and contribute approximately 250 words in your response. Feel free to share your thoughts with your classmates.
