Dictators Rise To Power By Propaganda

The Nazi regime had a top-notch propaganda ministry of the time. In fact, the government was able to adjust the public’s idea quickly. For the most part, They were able to control all media sources. As shown above, The public thought that the Jewish community was responsible for the hardship that they faced after the WWI. Furthermore, The head of the propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels was able to accomplish his goals by keeping the public from watching or listening to anti-Nazi ideas and to construct Nazi ideas are compelling to the audience (Trueman).

As Germany and there economy crumbled trying to pay off the reparations of ww1 the inflammation and unemployment was increasing by the day Germany look for radical change and it was Adolf Hitler. Behind him his cult of personality. he formed it using propaganda showing Germany a picture of a perfect life with where you have a happy wife at home and the men work and the children are perfect giving Germany a sense of nationalism. He sometimes would use propaganda portray that Hitler was larger than life and his ideas of politics and to impose his own beliefs in anti semitism to his people. however people loved adolf hitler saying thing such as "Hitler for Germany -- all of Germany of Hitler”

On the other hand, if this were to have existed in a dictatorship, one would merely get used to how something went because that was how life would be from now on if there was a dictator present. With all the mess and distress already present, the body of laws present in a democracy is much slower to be established, while it usually took much less time with a dictator. Rather than one person having to agree on a law or come up with one, a democracy requires the whole body instead to ratify or accept it. This is due to the fact that your own personal needs must be given up in a dictatorship, while they are respected and valued on the other hand in a democracy. Therefore, seeing from all these changes, the alteration in government that the German government faced must have produced overwhelming challenges for Germany as a whole. They must completely abandon the norm for them and accustom themselves once again to a new way of life. Not only will these bring upon conflicts within the human population, but in all aspects including political, social, and economic qualities. In specificity to all these problems, it was many problems that accumulated and grew through time that presented a chance for Hitler to rise to power. Adolf Hitler was not only a strong and powerful leader that could have rose to power completely on his own, yet many of the inhabitants in Germany was tired of everything and needed a changed

Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power and were against a weak democratic government. The Germans were desperate for a strong leader to restore their national pride and to turn around their economy. In 1934, Hitler was proclaimed the “Fuhrer” or leader and became the dictator of

The time that Hitler was gaining all of his power, Germany was in a very fragile state due to the depression it was suffering from.7 Adolf Hitler led Germany to believe that the Jews were a threat to the German race. He was under the impression that Germany and eventually the world should compose of one homogenous race, therefore any anyone that differs should be eliminated.8 The fact that it wasn’t only one individual with this view is astonishing, but the power the Nazis and Hitler had is what got all the support into thinking this way. When thinking about Germany and how they treated the situation, it is hard not to think what would have happened if the people of Germany stood up against the Nazis when they began to make

Propaganda is everywhere any human looks. It is the base of almost every government. But, seeing as how other governments are worse than the American government, it’s worse in other areas of the world. The role of propaganda in a totalitarian government is very important, especially when compared to a democratic type of government, mostly because democracies don’t usually want to control every aspect of life.

When Hitler came into power in January 1933 he set out to implement his ideology which included anti-Semitism and the enforcement of an “Aryan race”. There were many reasons that contributed to the persecution becoming more extreme between 1933 and 1945 such as: The Nuremberg Laws, Kristallnacht, little or no opposition, the Wannsee conference and the idea that Germany should be germanised. The invasion of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland leading to World War 2 were also the reasons why the Nazis put more extreme measures against the Jews in place.

Propaganda is performed through print, audio, and visual mass media. It is used for the promotion of the public’s activities in their life such as purchasing goods through market propaganda, and it is also found in politics, foreign affairs, and in many other fields. Most importantly propaganda is depicted in the informercialization of the news, which is connected with subliminal advertising and commercialization of public events and individual promotion such in communication websites. However, there is great debate over propaganda and persuasion that is casted in the media, which I will be elaborating in this essay.

Adolph Hitler became head of Germany’s National Socialists Party in July of 1921. By 1933 the once unknown Hitler was given dictatorial power. As his power grew the new dictator grew more restrictive and power hungry. Books were burned, Jewish-owned businesses were boycotted, the Nazi Party was made the only party, and concentration camps were opened, all in the first year of Hitler’s

After Germany’s humiliating defeat in World War I, Germans had little faith in their government, and in the early 1930s following the stock market crash in New York, Germany was economically struggling . Millions of people were out of work due to the world wide catastrophe making it an opportune time for Hitler and the Nazis to rise into power. Hitler, who was a powerful and spellbinding speaker, attracted Germans desperate for change. He promised to make Germany a better country and promised the disenchanted, a better life. Nazis appealed especially to the youth, unemployed, and members of the lower to middle class. Hitler’s rise to power seemed instantaneous. Before the economic depression, Nazis were virtually unknown, winning less than 3 percent of the vote to the Reichstag, which was the German Parliament. However, in the 1924 elections, the Nazis won a whopping 33 percent of the votes which was more than any other party. In January of 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the head of German Government . The Germans were convinced that they had found a savior for the Nation. The timing of his rise made it very easy for Hitler to gain power in a democratic government because people were hopeless and wanted a fast solution to the deficit. He promised things like a stronger economy, prosperity, and anything that they desired . He focused on first getting noticed and then grew from there. He didn’t say anything but what the people wanted to hear. Getting the people of Germany to trust him was how he started to gain so much control. Unfortunately, Hitler’s charm and persuasion was not the sole reason why Hitler gained so much power in a democratic

As stated before political leaders prospered through money that they were born into and were brought into power. Many of them used their power to abuse of the people and minimize the voice of the people. Whilst in their power they used propaganda to make it seem as if they, the leaders were the saviors of the country. During the time of World War II Germany was in its economic crisis and Hitler blamed

Another way that Hitler and the Nazis had too much power was when The Nuremberg Race Laws were passed. These were rules that Jews had to follow by force. A couple of them included taking away Jewish businesses

On January of 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed as the chancellor of Germany. Immediately after he was appointed he convinced his Cabinet to end individual freedom of all Jews. During the Holocaust era, the Nazis put out a lot of propaganda because Hitler blamed the Jews for Germanys’ defeat in World War I (Farmer, 2007). So therefore Hitler decided to deal with the Jews in a harsh matter to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Under the leadership of Hitler, the German Nazi party stripped the Jews from all of their rights and murdered approximately six million civilians. (Farmer, 2007). However, with Hitler’s use of propaganda he was able to create fear within the Jews and take away the power of their voices.

Considering how harsh Hitler’s dictatorship was, it is hard not to wonder how and why the population accepted his dictatorship. Hitler brought the population to this point mainly by the use of propaganda, the manipulation and brainwashing of German youth, and, most importantly, the use of terror .

“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels, German Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. This is the exact words of Nazis most famous propagandist in using media as a mass weapon of propaganda and mind control. Could you imagine Germany in 1930s, without Television channel, without the Internet, without every mobile device in your palm, what channel of information will you get? Of course, newspapers, flies, images, celebrities were used as tools for propaganda purposes, designed to provoke a reaction, and ultimately, a form of control over their citizen. Nowadays, with all the advanced of technologies, information can reach everyone in every corner of the Earth, the message is delivered in the subtlest ways, without people’s conscious, has shaped everyone’s decision, or at least shape their behavior toward the decision that the orchestrator want the audience to perceive. With the booming of internet, information sharing seamlessly, we must ask ourselves, the role of media in conveying, shaping the society that we are living in. Let look at few examples of U.S propaganda machine, and later, the particular case of fish sauce in Viet Nam back in October 2016.
