Sphere of Influence
This compelling cartoon depicts a large, domineering hand gripping the Earth, with certain countries or regions highlighted within a glowing “sphere of influence.” The hand represents a powerful entity, such as a nation or organization, exerting control over these highlighted areas. The image conveys the idea of how powerful countries or organizations impose their influence on other parts of the world, often shaping global politics, economics, and culture according to their interests. The cartoon serves as a critique of geopolitical power dynamics, highlighting the imbalance and the often unseen control exerted by powerful players on the global stage, impacting the autonomy and development of less influential regions.
