Which Works Best?

I am having trouble picking from these four political cartoons for my paper.  I believe that you can elaborate on three and four the most because you can bring in all of the issues related to the cartoon.  Yet I would probably end up having to do some research for my paper.  Is that allowed?  The second one I am also leaning toward because I am living the consequences of  the issue in the cartoon first hand.  Therefore my paper might turn out with a better tone.  Although my only concern with this one is, will there be enough to write about? Help!

 I guess, after writing this blog, I realized that I automatically eliminated that first choice.  However, I will leave the picture up because I believe it to be pretty funny.

The Golden Rule

     On the first day of English my class was presented with three images based on the "Golden Rule."  I am only showing you two of the three images because I believe it most interesting to compare the the two diagrams that are visual persuasion.  To start off with the comparison, there are a few things you notice right off the bat.  In both of these posters there are globes, as well as different religions and there version of the golden rule.  though they are each artfully designed in there own way those two elements are about the same.  However if you take a closer look as of how they are laid out you get two very different messages.  The first post has all of the religions spokes outwards from the globe, giving a sense of coming together for one common moral.  Yet if you look at post two you see that the globe is simply behind the sayings and the religions seem to be listed based on popularity.  To me that is almost like canceling out the symbolic globe.  Therefore leaving no unification, and and showing how the rules are followed even by the religions that live by them.  To me the second post shows how even in trying to create a picture that all religions have some commonality, there still always has to be a top dog.  As well as, someone who is always picking a fight.
