Analysis of the Capitalism Cartoon

The main visual element is the bigger sized man wearing a tag named 'Capitalism'.
Capitalism leaders earn money by forcing them out of the labors. The cartoonist most definitely does not approve of the economy system 'Capitalism'. He was showing how the leaders of Capitalism insist of money from labors by force although they were doing nothing. The cartoon shows how unfair the economy system is. This fact is quite obvious from the cartoon because the author makes the violence and force very clear and the fact that the money originally came from the labors. Also, in terms of the size of the men, you can tell the leaders of Capitalism are richer because they 'steal' money from the labors, so therefore, they may have better living conditions to eat and drink whatever their needs insisted of. Although the main point is already clearly stated in this cartoon, the cartoonist could perhaps add a clearer image of how the force was done because you cannot picture it.

Reflection on Goals for Quarter One

The goals are not met because I wanted an A for Humanities, but at the moment I have a B. Although the grade is not too terrible, I did not meet my goal. The other goal, which is keeping up test scores, is met. I have been able to do above 92 percent on all tests. The other goal will improve if I keep up with the Socratic Seminar s, quizzes, and bigger projects.

'Don’t let your emotions get the best of you.'

'Don’t let your emotions get the best of you.'
The third tip of all ten of Mr. Coyle's investment tips personally relates to me the most.
During the investment game, I desperately bought the shares without a second thought to any of them, which obviously caused a huge destruction at the end. Because the shares rose to higher prices, I immediately decided to buy them. I let the emotions get the best of me. For example, when the steel industry prices were rising, I purchased many of them instantly, but the industry ended up falling. I should have waited a little longer and think of other possibilites instead. Overall, I've learnt a lot from this investment game.
