Out-sourcing cartoon analysis

The main visual elements are:
• The frustrated daughter
• The school bag
• The father


This cartoon is about globalization and how it’s affecting the younger generation. The cartoonist doesn’t like the idea of globalization, because it makes people lazy. The father in the cartoon supports my idea, because he looks like he’s slightly disappointed and tired. Out-sourcing is one of the “flatteners” that have really spread the idea of globalization. To out-source is to send out information and get more back quicker and cheaper. In this case, the girl wants to out-source her homework so that she can get it back done. Maybe the cartoonist could have shown how much homework she had or had another bubble of someone doing homework in India.
