1. What is the edited cartoon about?

employment because many employers favored the young applicants and because of these workers are
forced to work overseas, we loss many skilled and experienced workers.

2. What issue is shown in this editorial cartoon?

-Many jobs prefer young over aged.

3. State the stance of the cartoonist in creating it?

-Maybe the cartoonist wanted to show that young applicants are more favored and because of these old
workers are forced to work overseas, we loss many skilled and experienced workers.

4.Describe the biases depicted in the editorial cartoon by completing the sentence below.

(A.) Bias toward young workers because they believe young workers are more flexible to work. They also
come up with the most innovative initiatives that would help the organization to grow. On the darker
side due to their lack of experience, many youngsters get fired for the damage that occurred to the
organization because of their small mistake.

(B.) Bias against old or aged workers because they believe older workers are less progressive and less
capable of learning new things but there are also advantages in hiring old workers which is they are
more experienced and skilled compared to new workers.
