US Election


1. What do you see in this cartoon?
- I see many whites and only one black in the above picture. They could be the Presidents of America.

2. What do you think this cartoon is trying to say?

- I think the cartoon is trying to show us that all the pervious presidents were whites and the only black is the current president Obama.

3. What message does it have?

- It shows that skin colour does not matter anymore as Obama became the first black president. It shows that not only whites can be president.

4. How do you know?

- It is very obvious as the other presidents in the past were all white while there is only one black.

5. What questions does this cartoon make you think of?

- Why were the past presidents all white? Does skin colour matters in the past? Would Obama be able to handle the country like the others?

Tattoos

Alot of people are having tattoos over them nowadays. It's common! However, some people are so rude by judging a person based on his/her tattoo(s). Their first reaction of those who have tattoos are "This person has something to do with the bad accomany. Beware!"

Unbelievable huh?

It is like judging a book by it's cover. This is so rude of them! Some people have tattoos on them NOT because they are gangsters whatsoever, they treat tattoos as a form of art. Haven you heard of a word called "Art"?

Some of others have tattoos to re-contruct their appreance (?). My grandmother and my Aunt both tattooed their eyebrows and eyes. Some tattooed for Medical reasons. Others tattooed to sort of go through the pain of child-birth.

I know how first impressions are like, but still it's not right to judge a person based on the outside. I have met people who have tattoos on them and look scary, but they are really nice and normal people like us. The only difference is that they have tattoos only.

How would you feel if someone judge you by what you wear. You may be a rich person who like to wear Bugis clothes. Would you like people to say that you are a poor person? You would'nt right? You will feel hurt. There are many examples and this is only one.

You would'nt like people to judge you by the outside right? So stop judging people just so that they have tattoos!
