"Thinking About Globalization" Response

The main visual elements are the text, the father, and the daughter. This cartoon is about outsourcing and how it can be a positive or negative thing. The cartoonist thinks that outsourcing is a bad thing, because the child is asking if she can outsource her homework to India. This is a bad thing, because children should do their own homework. This cartoon relates to our study of globalization because outsourcing is part of globalization. To make this cartoon more persuasive, the cartoonist could have had a post man in the room, ready to take the homework from the girl.
