EDITORS COMMENTS
The cartoon print "CARTOON: NEW DEAL, 1935" captures the sentiment of American citizens during a transformative period in history. Created around 1935, it reflects the concerns and fears surrounding President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Social Security Act. In this thought-provoking image, we see Uncle Sam, a symbol of America, standing tall amidst a sea of numbers. The artist suggests that with the passage of the Social Security Act, U. S. citizens have been reduced to mere statistics or figures on paper. This visual representation highlights the anxiety felt by many Americans who worried about losing their individuality and becoming just another cog in the bureaucratic machine. During this time, as America was grappling with economic turmoil caused by the Great Depression, FDR's Democratic Party implemented various political acts aimed at providing relief to its citizens. However, some individuals feared that these measures would strip them of their autonomy and personal identity. This cartoon serves as a reminder of how significant political decisions can impact people's lives and shape society as a whole. It encapsulates both hope for social security benefits but also apprehension regarding potential loss of individuality within an increasingly complex system. As we reflect on this historical artwork today, it prompts us to consider how our own government policies may affect our sense of self and collective identity in modern times.
