Coming into the world, babies are filled with love; they are not hateful towards anything. That all comes later in life when society introduces them to the atrocious activities happening around the world. As soon as the infants wrap their tiny fingers around their mother and father’s hands, the bond between the infant and parents is inseparable. The children automatically learn empathy and understand love by the way the infant's own parents act towards each other. The babies are not bothered by the way others look or the way they look themselves. As a consequence, the question remains, at what age do children start pointing out the imperfections of

Many people know about World War I and World War II seeing that they are a couple of the world’s most famous wars. Have you ever wondered how much you really know? This paper is here to inform you of all of the propaganda used to persuade people to follow Hitler, the Nazi party, and Stalin, terms that were used during this time period, and some of the very important people involved in World War I and in World War II.
“During World War One atrocity propaganda was employed on a global scale. The Great War was the first total war in which whole nations and not just professional armies were locked in mortal combat” (Depicting the enemy). All countries were pushing to increase support in the war as an instrument to help them win the war and propaganda was a way to connect with civilians. One very common example of propaganda was demonizing the enemy, for instance the Allied powers would create posters of the Germans depicted as savage and barbaric as the “German Huns” (Depicting the enemy). These caused citizens to sympathize with the war and increase their nationalism, which resulted in them becoming part of the war. It also gave a reason as to why they were fighting the war, which was to defeat the “German Monsters”. “The enemy is of great importance in propaganda, for not only does it provide a target that can be attacked, but also it offers a scapegoat” (Depicting the enemy). The distraction factor of propaganda was useful for redirecting attention to the enemy instead of facing the problems that actually were affecting civilians on the homefront. Propaganda “recommended” that civilians joined the war effort in any way possible, becoming a soldier was not the only option people could donate money or work in factories (Propaganda for patriotism and
In Alexander Vergara’s article, “Images of Revolution and War,” the author argues that propaganda during the Spanish Civil War circa 1936-1939 were used by their creators as a tool either to advance or tear down a certain ideology, movement, individual, etc. The first technique he uses to persuade the reader of this is to give eyewitness reports from individuals who were alive during the war commenting on propaganda. One such quote is from a man in Spain observing how many propaganda posters were all over the city and how they were used to portray a variety of agendas (anti-fascism, emancipation of women, etc.) Vergara then writes his analysis of the quote: “The posters provided an essential part of life to individuals living in the tragedy
Many depictions of motherhood are interpreted throughout history and expressed through various novels and films to give the audience a sense of maternal characteristics at the time of setting. C.R.A.Z.Y (2005) and Les Belles Images (1966) display different representations of motherhood from the 1960s onwards. At that time in history, the consequences of the Second World War were still in effect and the traditional role of motherhood was being challenged by women who believed they could be more than the stereotypical stay at home mum. C.R.A.Z.Y has a strong focus on the established figure of motherhood that was expected from society. Comparable to Les Belles Images whereby the author concentrates on women’s rights and more active roles in the

Michele Barzley, in this journal article, investigates the role of motherhood in society utilizing the novels Beloved by Toni Morrison and Revelations of Divine Love by Julian Norwich. For the purpose of this bibliography, the focus will be on Barzley’s examination of the mothers within the text of Beloved. Barzley examines Sethe, in addition to three other mothers that are connected to Sethe, which are Nan, Sethe’s Mother, and Baby Suggs. Through their stories, Barzley indicates that Morrison demonstrates the many ways that motherhood for African-American women was shaped by slavery. Nan, a wet nurse, was forced mother children that were not her own. Sethe’s mother refused to mother children that she did not choose but that were forced upon
The construction of the good mother is a problematic label that has formed a specific ideal for all mothers to uphold. According to Goodwin and Huppatz (2006), “the good mother is known as that formidable social construct placing pressure on women to conform to particular standards and ideals, against which they are judged and judge themselves” (p.2). This means that mothers perform their role in society based on a particular set of beliefs. For example, mothers are judged and scrutinized if they do not breastfed; therefore, they may conform to this standard in fear of being judged and labeled an unfit mother. Motherhood is structured and organized in the prevailing gender system (Goodwin and Huppatz, 2006).

Propaganda is recognized to be the planned manipulation of public opinion through concealed messages in advertisements and other media functions.

Juli’s article gives an example of how mothers are driving themselves crazy to try to be perfect mothers, because of the society’s influence. She said Mothers are parenting their children by the standard they got from the community instead of what they want for their children. This reading really make people think how many mothers they know are exactly fit the perfect Christian mother standard in the beginning of the article and how horrible it is that every mother behave the same way like machines.
Every morning before school when my sisters were in high school, my mother woke up bright and early, cooked breakfast, curled, straightened, or braided my sister’s and my hair, and drove us to school. Then, my mother went to work in Redwood Falls as a social worker, came home, prepared lunch for my dad, folded the laundry, washed the dishes, and cleaned the house until it was spotless. Then, she picked up my sisters and me from school, whipped up something for dinner, and double-checked if everyone had their homework finished and forms signed for school the next day. Everyday my mother does so much for my family, and she has had a tremendous impact in my life. My mother not only takes care of my family, but she also helps support other families, all the while contributing greatly to the Wabasso school district. My mother is truly an extraordinary woman.
