Virtual Learning Cartoon

This specific editorial cartoon is meant to provoke emotion and call people to action. On top of using ethos, logos is also used. Logos is represented in this image because it is logical to understand that not all students have the same opportunities or access to proper online education. It is also shown through the carefully placed arrangement and organization of the image. This image represents various children in school during COVID-19. The image shows that all of these children have a different experience, whether this is due to lack of resources, or difference in income between households. This represents inequalities within our school system. Propaganda can be considered "a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position". This specific definition of propaganda applies to this cartoon. Cartoons such as the one depicted about can be considered "visual rhetoric". This example of propaganda is beneficial in the sense of highlighting the negatives of online or distance learning for children.
