The Propaganda Game Summary

The image I choose to use for propaganda is a little boy wearing a Nazi hat, above the child it goes to say “is he your child? You don’t want that" and under that it says, "Buy WAR BONDS before is too LATE! “. I believe the purpose of this image is to say hey you don’t want your child to become a Nazi soldier. So if you buy war bonds everything will be okay. The reason I select this artifact is because the little kid caught my eye with his blue eyes, blonde hair, and the innocence of his smile.

Propaganda is a form of rhetoric that manipulates information to influence public opinion. It lacks critical balance as it overemphasizes elements that support a position and ignores opposing viewpoints. Although propaganda, in its original sense, could be used to promote positive causes, it has acquired a negative connotation and is used as a pejorative to describe ideological messages that people usually disagree with. Film is regarded as the most effective medium to distribute propaganda to a large audience of different classes. “In comparison with other arts, film has a particular forceful and lasting psychological and propagandistic impact because of its effect not on the intellect, but principally on the emotions and the visual sense” (Interview with Fritz Hippler qtd.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor from Japan on December 7, 1941. American President Franklin Roosevelt declared a former declaration of Allied war aims with British prime minister Winston Churchill.

Pearl Harbour was a military camp filled with ships and planes, the bombing destroyed many valuable equipment and many soldiers were killed and injured.

In George Orwell’s 1984, lies, cover-ups and false information control the thinking of the citizens of Oceania. The Party uses propaganda as the deadliest and most efficient method of control. Propaganda increases the citizens’ morale and makes them believe that no matter what they are told, the Party is always right. There are two main types of propaganda; changing the truth, doublethink, and another by creating fear within citizens. “Doublespeak” is a major aspect of everyday life in Oceania. The Party’s central slogans are “WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” is a good example (Orwell 4). The idea of the slogans is to convince the citizens that what they want is what they already possess. “War is peace”, it is a false sense of peace that citizens are led to believe that they are living peacefully in comparison to the warzone in Africa. Secondly, “freedom is slavery”, if a person has freedom, they becomes a slave to their own desires. Lastly, “Ignorance is strength” means if citizens are oblivious to the Party’s secrets and activities within Oceania, they will not rebel. This ignorance strengthens the Party’s power and total control over citizens. The slogan changes truth and makes the citizens believe that anything they want other than what their government wants can only make them unhappy. Therefore, no citizen will consider rebelling, as they believe the Party’s way of governing is the best and only way. “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU”, another core

As an art form, one could consider film to fall under Plato’s consideration of art as an imitator of nature and third removed from the truth (Plato, The Republic Book X, 360 BC). Like the painter who paints the carpenter’s work, the filmmaker can only portray an image that already exists. To call art a mirror image of nature would imply that art—including film—shows all things exactly as they are in real life. This is not true because the filmmaker can also be selective—and perhaps deceptive—in what parts of the image that the film mirrors, picking and choosing aspects of the images to portray their own ideas. Holding a mirror up implies that everything is being shown for what it truly is in its purest form and it is for this reason that the

During World War II, governments would create propaganda in hopes of inspiring or convincing citizens in their country to make a contribution to the war effort. Most of the propaganda was related to the need of the factory workers in the factories and the factories needed as many people as possible to help make materials necessary for the war. Therefore, the techniques used to persuade their citizens to join the war movement was through different fonts, pop of colors, and images to catch the reader's eyes.

Do you remember WWII? You probably weren’t alive back then, but do you know that propaganda was a major part of WWII? The reason it was such a big part of it was because they needed the peoples help, our army was really small compared to other countries, we needed a bigger army. For a lot of countries not just the us everyone needed a bigger army in case things got crazier. The easiest way to do that was through propaganda.

The Cold War was one of the wars that made everyone hold their breaths and ponder would would happen next and when. The Cold War was a time period between 1947 to1991 in which the Western powers (US) and the USSR competed with each other in a tense rivalry and strive to outperform one another. It was also one of the key moments in history which spiked a motive and drive to develop and produce new strategies, weapons, and technologies. There was no actual fighting which took place (hence the name Cold War), but the two were always trying to best each other. The two superpowers often contested with each other militaristically, socially, politically, and economically. With this in mind: what weapons were used to fight the Cold War? Generally, Cold War weapons included the use of propaganda, nuclear weapons, and new technological development.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country," once said by President John F. Kennedy. According to a WWII history article published by Lincoln Riddle, "Wartime relations can cause a country to go down to a point where a large portion of the public doesn't support the war." One of the many ways countries curb this downfall is by using propaganda. In World War II, countries broadcasted and displayed propaganda throughout society to get the public to support the war effort and to unite the country. There were many different techniques used such as bandwagon, labeling, plain folks, transfer etc.

The Magic of Propaganda “When a magician waves his hand and says, "This is where the magic is happening. " The real trick is happening somewhere else.” In the movie Now You See Me, Morgan Freeman who plays Thaddeus Bradley explains the reality behind magic tricks. Deception and captivation are the two most important things needed to successfully perform a trick upon the mind. Deception and captivation are used by using bright or dull colors, bolded words, and themes to entice the reader and promote movies, tv shows, and other entertainment posters.

There are two types of propaganda: sociological propaganda; the spreading of an ideology through the mass media, and political propaganda; efforts that are sponsored by governments and political groups that alter a persons’ interests. All propaganda has a direction, and the overall quality determines whether it will have a positive or negative effect over the masses. Our entire nation is a vast propaganda operational system that is greatly linked to education, consumerism and politics. A great deal of what makes up propaganda and how it is placed among the masses lies in understanding the overall emotional and physical states of these groups of people and in finding a way to draw a persons’ attention to capture their hearts, breaking down

Propaganda, a strong and powerful word that carries quite a negative connotation nowadays. It exists since a thousand years ago, and used to be a tool that was widely used by charismatic leaders in order to rule a nation or just simply influence an audience. It is still constantly being used as a political and social mean in less obvious ways to influence people’s attitudes. By definition, propaganda is giving information that is not impartial. We usually have the Nazi propaganda in mind, or all the other war propaganda posters since it is more evident. But what about modern day propaganda?
