Interpreting Editorial Cartoons

The cartoon above shows how the people in Egypt have used Facebook in the government. Facebook was blocked in Egypt, but it can still be used by people in the U.S.

The cartoon to the right depicts how people in the U.S. use Facebook mainly as a place to comment on what they are doing, what they are thinking...basically anything they feel like telling everyone. People post insignificant things, not exactly things that affect the entire country.
