Political Cartoons

I look at Political Cartoons as a comical way to look at some pretty serious and intense top new stories in the headlines. These cartoons can be used to illustrate some events that are minor, maybe just for a small city, town, or county. But also they are usually used to illustrate much more major problems that effect whole countries or continents, or possibly even the whole planet. I think in our society we allow Political Cartoons because were sick and tired of seeing so many many scary or seriously disturbing stories on the news or in magazines. For once we some humor to be shed on some serious issues like stem cell research or, abortion, or same sex marriage, possibly even some war issues. But don't get me wrong, some political cartoons out there are just plain pointless, or totally rude and vulgar. Most people my age (including myself) don't even fully understand political cartoons because we usually aren't bothered by the world's issues at our age. We just want to think we understand them to look more mature or more intelligent.
