Blog #2 Response to Goldstein's essay

In my opinion I feel that cartoons can be dangerous and hurtful.  It seems very easy for somebody to depict a not so pretty picture of someone else in a cartoon especially when it comes to politics. When a person writes words about another person it is generally straight to the point, in cartoons whoever reads it can interrupt it in many different ways. Drawings of people can be very hurtful as well.  The person who is drawing the cartoon can have the wrong idea of what it is they are drawing.  The author could think a certain something or someone could be trying to persuade people that a subject that is considered controversy to agree with or go against the idea all together. Not realizing that the meaning of the whole story is completely opposite of what they are interrupting it to be.Many question whether the cartoonist is bias or maybe even a bit sensitive of their work. In the end most cartoons end up hurting or offending somebody in this world. I feel that the cartoons that hit on subjects such as sexuality, some politics, and the cartoons that "put women in their place" should be censored.
