I think that the cartoonist called it "fun with Economic Reality" because the Comic seems to be funny, and yet it treats a very serious and a very sad topic.
The Cartoonist implies that the rich don't really understand the problems of the poor and see the poor as "lucky" just because they are in the US, not understanding that the poor in the US are truly struggling, even if maybe their situation might not be as desperate as of the poor in Bangladesh. (which is not sure - it's not clear whether the poor have it worse in the US or in Bangladesh).
Answer:
Expressions we give off
Explanation:
Erving Goffman develop a model called the "Dramaturgical model" which has to do with the presentation of self, meaning, how we presentate to others.
According to Goffman, we create impressions through our language and our body language. So we create impressions by our expressions.
There are two different kinds of expressions:
- Expressions we give: Things we say and intentional poses and facial expressions.
- Expressions we give off: Things over we have less control, it refers to the body language that "gives us away".
In the example, particularly good poker players say they can read other player tells. These are subtle and unintentional facial expressions and body language that reveal what players are thinking. Clearly, <u>players don't do this intentionally and therefore they don't have control over these facial expressions and therefore it gives them away. </u>Thus this is an example of "Expressions we give off"
Answer: The law cannot cause or correct social differences.
Explanation: Examining the passage above from a broader view connotes that racial instinct, thought or perception are borne from social differences between groups or communities such as race, gender, influence or wealth which helps nurture the thought that a social group or class is distinctly and significantly superior or better than others. The law can strike a balance in the civil and political rights pertaining to social groups. However, social differences such as race, gender and so on is not within the control of the law.

- . The fighting was most intense during two invasions that Persia launched against mainland Greece between 490 and 479.

#GRECO-PERSIAN WARS EVENTS
- In the generation before 522, the Persian kings Cyrus II and Cambyses II extended their rule from the Indus River valley to the Aegean Sea. After the defeat of the Lydian king Croesus (c. 546), the Persians gradually conquered the small Greek city-states along the Anatolian coast.
- In 522 Darius came to power and set about consolidating and strengthening the Persian empire.
- In 500 BCE the Greek city-states on the western coast of Anatolia rose up in rebellion against Persia.
- This uprising, known as the Ionian revolt (500–494 BCE), failed, but its consequences for the mainland Greeks were momentous. Athens and Eretria had sent a small fleet in support of the revolt, which Darius took as a pretext for launching an invasion of the Greek mainland. His forces advanced toward Europe in 492 BCE, but, when much of his fleet was destroyed in a storm, he returned home
- . However, in 490 a Persian army of 25,000 men landed unopposed on the Plain of Marathon, and the Athenians appealed to Sparta to join forces against the invader.
- Owing to a religious festival, the Spartans were detained, and the 10,000 Athenians had to face the Persians aided only by 1,000 men from Plataea.
- The Athenians were commanded by 10 generals, the most daring of whom was Miltiades. While the Persian cavalry was away, he seized the opportunity to attack.
- The Greeks won a decisive victory, losing only 192 men to the Persians’ 6,400 (according to the historian Herodotus)
- The Greeks then prevented a surprise attack on Athens itself by quickly marching back to the city.
#Darius I
- Darius I seated before two incense burners, detail of a bas-relief of the north courtyard in the Treasury at Persepolis, late 6th–early 5th century BCE;
- After their defeat at Marathon, the Persians went home, but they returned in vastly greater numbers 10 years later, led by Darius’s successor, Xerxes
- . The unprecedented size of his forces made their progress quite slow, giving the Greeks plenty of time to prepare their defense. A general Greek league against Persia was formed in 481.
- Command of the army was given to Sparta, that of the navy to Athens. The Greek fleet numbered about 350 vessels and was thus only about one-third the size of the Persian fleet. Herodotus estimated the Persian army to number in the millions, but modern scholars tend to doubt his reportage.
- The Greeks decided to deploy a force of about 7,000 men at the narrow pass of Thermopylae and a force of 271 ships under Themistocles at Artemisium. Xerxes’ forces advanced slowly toward the Greeks, suffering losses from the weather.
