    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 425 108 SO 029 595 AUTHOR Heitzmann, William Ray TITLE The Power of Political Cartoons in Teaching History. Occasional Paper. INSTITUTION National Council for History Education, Inc., Westlake, OH. PUB DATE 1998-09-00 NOTE 10p. AVAILABLE FROM National Council for History Education, 26915 Westwood Road, Suite B-2, Westlake, OH 44145-4657; Tel: 440-835-1776. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

In the span of five years, the balance of power in the comic book field had changed dramatically. Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics.

Ariel Perelman is advocaat, net zoals z'n vader, maar hij weet nog niet goed wat hij van zijn toekomst moet verwachten. Hij kent de gewoontes, smaken en de dagelijkse bezigheden van zijn gerespecteerde vader door en door. Ariel doet alsof hij niet op zijn vader wil lijken, noch zijn levensweg, op voorhand uitgestippeld, wil volgen, maar hoe meer hij zich daartegen verzet, hoe meer hij op hem lijkt. Hoe ontkomt hij aan de familiegewoontes? Hoeveel tijd is daarvoor nodig? Hoe begint men daaraan? Is er een gebruiksaanwijzing? Naarmate hij zijn eigen identiteit tracht te schetsen, begint zoon Perelman, met enige vrees, de erfenis van zijn afkomst, het onveranderlijke gegeven, kortom datgene wat hij niet kan veranderen, te accepteren. Wat hem problemen schept is zijn identiteit op te bouwen aan de hand van datgene wat hem van zijn vader onderscheidt, van alles wat hij nog moet ontdekken. Family Law is het aangrijpende en intieme verhaal van een vader en een zoon, op weg om hun rol te ontdekken.

As such, he has not seen them for five years and in this time his life has had a turn for the worse, with a recent divorce and custody battles. One day, Shaul sporadically decides to come up and stay with his father for several days, despite refusing to be friendly with him. During this time, Bati, much to the irritation of Shaul, tries to get the two men to talk to one another. However her plans fall flat. After Shaul injures himself by slipping on a fish at the local market and his own young daughter, Michal (Bethany Gorenberg), arrives suddenly to be at the aid of her father. Her presence eases the tension between the two men, resulting in them rebuilding their relationship.

    UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ARAB GULF PROGRAMME FOR UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS ARAB HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2004 Towards Freedom in the Arab World The Arab world finds itself at a historical crossroads. Caught between oppression at home and violation from abroad, Arabs are increasingly excluded from determining their own future. Freedom in its comprehensive sense, incorporates not only civil and political freedoms (in other words, liberation from oppression), but also the liberation from all factors that are inconsistent with human dignity. To be sustained and guaranteed, freedom requires a system DEVELO HUMAN ARAB of good governance that rests upon effective popular representation and is accountable to the people, and that upholds the rule of law and ensures that an independent judiciary applies the law impartially. The report describes free societies, in their normative dimension, as fundamental contrasts with present-day Arab countries. The enormous gap that separates today’s reality and what many in the region hope for, is a source of widespread frustration and despair among Arabs about their countries’ prospects for a peaceful transition to societies enjoying freedom and good governance. Moreover, persisting tendencies in Arab social structures could well lead to spiralling social, economic, and political crises. Each further stage of crisis would impose itself 2004 REPORT PMENT as a new reality, producing injustices eventually beyond control. The Arab world is at a decisive point that does not admit compromise or complacency. If the Arab people are to have true societies of freedom and good governance, they will need to be socially innovative.
