The World War II Era

According to “Cigarettes by Eric H. Shaw and Stewart Alan, “advertising continued to increase the size of the market, despite an expanding awareness of health risks and increasing advertising restrictions,” (Source B). An ad isn’t looking to solve another person’s problems with something that will definitely benefit their wellbeing. An ad is made to make a person believe he needs the product they are selling so that the business can continue to profit off of someone’s vulnerability and grow off the people to naïve to even realize they are being played. According to “Exercise Your Moral Judgement Through the Way You Buy” by Renato K. Sesana, “they create unfulfilled desires and then they push us to buy the products that we do not need,” (Source F). As a popular catch phrase goes it’s “like taking candy from a baby.” According to Advertising Information or Manipulation? By Nancy Day,” Advertising tells you what you need. Before advertising told us to, who worried about dandruff...It can make us unsatisfied with who we are, greedy for what we don’t have, and oblivious to the miseries of millions who haven’t a fraction the comforts we take for granted,” (Source D). Before ads, there weren’t as many stereotypes or as many dissatisfactions that people have. On the other hand, an ad can inform someone of

In 1941, the United States, still in the throes of the Great Depression, enters World War II. With the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, the U.S. Congress, after a request by President Franklin Roosevelt, declares war. War is declared not just on Japan, but also on its ally, Hitler’s Germany. Because their ages range from 33 years to 42 years, and because they are married with three of them helping to raise two children each, Paul Baumgartner, Frank Young, Orval Koehler and Frank Deppe are not drafted into the military.

Helga Arthur was born January 16,1943 right in the middle of the second World War II in Berlin Germany. When I was interviewing Helga she discussed how her parents were originally from Estonia and had lost everything which lead them to fled to Germany. But then Germany became unsafe when her father hear the communist were moving in and that there was the potential for Germany to be divided between the U.S , Britain and Russian. So Helga’s father got them forged german red cross papers and they escaped in the middle of the night through farm lands and keep going in the directions of where the Americans were. There was a tremendous amount of hunger along the way and the farmers that didn 't really want to help the people escaping the city because they did not want to get in trouble but Helga informed me that they could not say no to a hunger child so her parents and her got sheltering along their journey. After a perilous trip they mange to get themselves to Hesse Germany where there was a big American base. Helga mentioned at this time that her parents were both university educated and spoke multiple languages which was very good because her father ended up going to work for the American army and they hired him because he spoke English, Russian, Estonian, German, and a little bit of French which allowed him to support his family. The American soldiers were also extremely good to Helga’s family in terms of her father was able to bring home extra food at night which

In 1914, a war began that would turn into one of the deadliest combats in all of human history. A war that was fought between two alliances named the Triple Entente, consisting of Russia, France and Great Britain, and the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. One of the reasons the war was so deadly was because many of the commanders and generals did not develop the tactics at the rate at which the weapons had progressed. Artillery and Machine Guns would decimate anyone who came over the edge of a trench, leading to millions of deaths. The old style of face-to-face trading fire combat had become obsolete due to the invention of the automatic and semi-automatic weapon. A single gun could now kill or injure

Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold,   Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill.

Of all the years the human race has occupied this planet, we have not come face to face with many events that could bring so many people together while simultaneously tearing them apart-- World War II is one of those events. While the beginning is not set in stone, many will argue that the war all started with the unwarranted German attack on Poland in September of 1939. As tensions rose between countries, conflict began to swell. Over 20 countries were involved, and alliances were established. The war was fought between two major alliances; the Allied powers and the Axis powers. The Allied powers consisted of the following major countries: France, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States. The Axis powers were Italy, Japan, and Germany. World War II involved more nations, cost more money, and killed more people than any war before its time.

World War 1 also known as The Great War started for a number of explanations; discrimination and imperialism, militarism nationalism, and alliance. According to the World of information imperialism is the policy which is expanding the country’s power and acquiring new land or countries by force. Militarism is when a country wants to preserve the strongest and most defensive military strength. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Ottoman Empire where central powers of WW1 but the allied powers where France, England, Russia, and the United States. Many of these countries joined World War 1 because of Alliances, where they had a treaty with that country or countries that in a challenging times they would be there to help in any way possible even if it meant they are set in the middle of a world warfare.

One of the most unfortunate yet necessary aspects of leading a nation is facing the prospect of war. As devastating as war can be, it often is key to ensuring a nation 's freedom and protection. One war that was certainly devastating on both sides of the battlefield was World War II. The tension in the Japanese-American relationship had been boiling for a while, between the military blockade of Japan, and Japan’s intrusion into China in direct violation of the Open-Door policy, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was the exploding point for the War that would eventually lead up to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The weapons dropped on these two cities were used for a number of reasons, but ultimately this decision would end up

Cigarettes have often been viewed as a horrible product that can cause many health problems such as cancer, emphysema, and heart disease. The act of advertising smoking in a positive manner on TV is illegal in today’s society. We have learned the true effect of how smoking affects your body, yet with all these known facts about smoking many people still choose to smoke. Smoking has not always been portrayed as a negative act. Around the early to late 1950’s there were many ads that showed only positive things about smoking. The two ads shown below portray the message that if you smoke you will be happy and with so many people smoking during the 1950’s it was hard not to see how smoking wouldn’t cause positive emotions; furthermore, with the convenient packaging it was easy to have a smoke almost everywhere you went. These two cigarette companies produced ads that proclaimed to have cigarettes that were good for your throat. With people not knowing the harsh effects of smoking as we do now, they

World War II was the second major war that broke out across the world. It was fought between the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers. The Axis Powers originally consisted of Germany, Italy, Japan, and later were joined by Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania. The Allied Powers were the United States, Britain, France, Soviet Union, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Yugoslavia. The United States involvement in World War II lead to many changes overseas and at home. One of the greatest changes that occurred for the U.S. centered on how the war altered women’s roles and how children were affected by these changes.

PEW includes statistics showing the rapid decrease with participation to a -7.8% in less than seven years, while the increase of agnostic beliefs rose to + 6.7% during the same time, with minority religions’ Buddhism, Judaism, and Muslim indicating a slight + 1.2% increase. If you do not believe religion has an influence over politics don’t kid yourself, as an example the ultra-orthodox communities come in by the droves casting their votes to keep their cronies in office as to not lose their footing on perks and free handouts. If you can stomach watching any news channels on current events you can experience it firsthand. (PEW)

The post-war world was one of complete ruin. More than 40 million Europeans died and at least 25 million of them were civilians that had been killed in bomb raids, concentration camps, and during famine or starvation. Cities, towns, and villages on the home fronts were destroyed and nothing remained of many homes. Because of all of the distress, thousands of people all turned to their governments for assistance. Unfortunately for almost everyone in Europe and Japan, their governments had all failed. Thus, a lot of their problems were rightfully blamed on their governments. After all, Hitler and Mussolini had both run their countries and fascist parties into the ground. Due to the fact that no one could find solutions in their own country’s

Many Americans think of the years after World War II as a golden era a time before modern complexities made life more difficult.

September 3, 1939 was the day that many people’s lives changed. That is date of which Great Britain entered World War II. Great Britain would fight alongside the allied powers, which consisted of USSR, France, and US. The axis powers, which consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan, would try and bomb the allied powers into surrender. This brutal war would go on for nearly five and a half years, finally ending on May 8, 1945. The end of the war marked both celebration and mourning. For Great Britain some major turning points during the war were the Battle of Britain, and the invasion scare. Many families had to make sacrifices during the war, some of them life changing. The people of Great Britain refused to go to war and were in denial, many of them would not listen to future Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Churchill warned the people about Hitler and Nazi Germany . Because of everybody’s fear of the war, Britain was not prepared when it came time for the country to enter the war.

The social, economic, and political landscapes of the pre-World War II United States, from 1931 to 1939, were substandard compared to their post-World War II counterparts. Pre-World War II United States is characterized by the worst economic crisis in the nation’s history. The Great Depression(1929-1939) was a global phenomenon that was associated with the American stock market crash in 1929. The economic downturn resulted in high unemployment rates(25%), reduced wages, high interest rates, and high deflation that would not let up completely until the start of World War II(p.849-850). Millions of Americans lost their life savings due to the uncontrolled stock speculation by banks and other financial institutions(p.850). Americans also
