Rehugo Analysis-Visual: Cartoon

a) picture attached; artist: Jack Corbett

b) The picture is implying that a person raised by

a village, or "society", doesn't end have good results.

c) In the cartoon, the muscular man is barking practically at the other two men and insisting that

he was brought up alright by "the village". The man looks rather boorish compared to the other

two men right beside him.

d) The cartoon is implying that the man is being sarcastic about being brought up right and

indeed being brought up by society is as great as people would think it would be. The proverb "It

takes a village to raise a child" is stating that it's the society's responsibility to take care of the

next generation of kids. It is seen through the man's words that society didn't do a good job. A

kid could be easily influenced and that can be as good as it can be bad. A person should be able to

tell their neighbor's kid that they shouldn't be doing something bad instead of walking away, in

fear of getting sued for "attacking the child in a verbal way". Back in the day, it was alot simpler

meaning, a child can roam around a village knowing they wont be hurt because moral values

have been established. However, nowadays life has gotten even more complicated and moral

values hasn't been actually established everywhere. All you hear is drugs and sex on the media,

and that's definitely not setting a good example for children out there.
