Blog #7

1. The topic of the editorial and written article is of the spending on foreign aids and policies.

2. The cartoon editorial makes fun of the President for wasteful spending on foreign policies. The author doesn't agree with the President's spending. The written editorial discusses how we pay too much on our foreign aids and policies. The author also doesn't agree with the spending. 

3. The cartoon and written editorial are alike in how they are both discussing foreign spending and both authors disagree with how the money is being spent on forgeign aids and policies. The editorials are different in that the cartoon is making fun of the President and the spending and the written editorial is discussing spending on foreign aid and policies and what it's doing to the country, which would be increasing inflation.

4. The written editorial got it's point across more effectively because it's easier to understand and it's not as ambiguous as the cartoon may be.

5. The benefits of drawing an editorial cartoon is that it's an entertaining way to get the point across. Drawbacks are they may have both ambiguous and ambivalent meanings and may be harder to understand.
The benefits of a written editorial is that it's a straightforward point being proven and it's easier to understand than a cartoon. The drawbacks are that it may lose the reader's interest in the midst of just looking at the words and if it's on a complicated subject like politics, the reader may become easily confused if the editorial is not explained thoroughly.
