Why did people from this era thought and lived as they did
Many people were susceptible to fascism because of the hope the leaders gave the public. They used multiple propaganda techniques to dominate people’s emotions. The people relied on the characteristics of the leaders, which were charismatic and promising. This attributes opened peoples’ hearts and accepted them to be the leaders of their nation.
Despite having people who accepted the leaders by heart, many were threatened and punished to accept them as leaders.
For Example, In Germany, People selected Hitler to be their leader, because of his appeals; which was to start scapegoats. His primary scapegoats were the nations that had punished Germany after World War I and after that

The economy and military strength of Germany improved dramatically. Hitler's vision of Germany's future seemed to be coming true and arousing the people of the values of the Fuhrer. In his speeches and in Nazi propagandas, Hitler wove together fear of his cult, romantic idealism and just enough truth to appeal to people's definite situations and to suggest that his own leadership was infallible and undemeaning.

The significance of the idea and impact of the idea and the movement on Australia and the world
Even after the fascist movement, which ended after WW2, and all countries had a strict rule on accepting fascism. But Neo fascism still occurs in our society. Such can be evident also in Australia and around the world. Well clearly, the governments are replacing the truth with multiple propagandas which include the general feel of something but not the actual truth.

Multiple times we have seen the government devaluing the truth, where they don’t want to answer questions or leave them half answered. Threatens people if they reveal problems within societies; such as heavy fines or restrictions which could be seen in like The Navy where they cannot talk about the asylum seekers who die at sea. They limit the number of people those who speak truth and distorts the truth to suit their needs. They do this to control the
Millions of people were extremely frustrated with the fallout of World War I, they wanted change and a strong leader to guide them through their times of trouble. The answer to the people's’ prayers had been given to them with the new political idea of fascism. Not only did fascism rise, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler also rose to power during these times of crisis. Fascism, Mussolini, and Hitler were all able to rise to power because the people had called for change, and they found themselves gravitating towards the ideas of these two intelligent men. Both men were able to persuade many people over to their side. Millions of people quickly adopted the new ideas of fascism, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler, the people saw them as the light at the end of their long dark tunnels they seemed to be lost
Fascism values human nature in a group for the benefit of the community. The group as a whole is called the human will, which is ruled by a select group or one leader, with the power being passed down from top to bottom. Fascism seeks to organize an organization led mass movement in an effort to capture the state power. When the power is in the firm grip of the ruler, or IL Duce, the government will be used to control the population and everything in it so the community will be
The Holocaust was a crazed satanic plan formulated be the Nazi party, and the Nazis called this plan the “final” plan. The Nazis believed in some conspiracy that the Jewish people had lost Germany the first world war, and the Nazis also thought whatever was wrong in their country was the fault of the Jews. Therefore, the Nazis decided to put their “final” plan into action. This theory that the Jewish people had lost the WWI for Germany was a fine example of propaganda, but this theory caused the genocide of the Jewish people.
There is no better way than to describe the act of mind control as the term “brainwash”. However, brainwashing effectively ties together with the use of propaganda by reaching out to a certain group of people in this case the Germans and the citizens of the world state through advertisements such as images, books, news, radios, and the press. In both the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and the Nazi Party in Germany who was ruled by Adolf Hitler there are various ways that brainwashing and propaganda gradually take place in both the past, from the year 1933 to 1945 and the believed future of After Ford 632. Propaganda and mind control are two manipulating strategies used to destroy the identities of innocent citizens in both the Nazi Party in Germany and in the World State. Ultimately, the Transference, Bandwagon and Glittering Generalities propaganda techniques are three efficient plans used to overpower the people of Germany as well as the World State as they are controlled and influenced by the same propaganda techniques but in different aspects.
George Orwell spoke about the way to achieve control over people was to take control of information and history. To farther explain my point, the media in terms of news became state controlled and there was no freedom of press or freedom of speech which we so dearly love now a days. All media that was put forth by the news was state controlled so only the information or news the state wished for the people to see could be known. This was created to prevent independent thought as all sources of information would be constantly strewing propaganda which would lie or obscure the truth about whatever was being put forth. A more modern example of this type of behavior was the Soviet Union whenever they spoke about the space race between them and the United States.
1- In 1933 when Hitler and his Nazi party came into power, German was on the tail end of a terrible depression with the rest of the world blaming them for the events of WWI. Things were looking quite bleak for the German people, but then comes Hitler, a man who sees the German people as a special people with a special destiny. Hitler and his Nazi party blamed all of Germany’s problems at the end of WWI on the Allies and weak leadership during Germany’s depression. This gave someone for Germany to blame for their problems and started to being back a sense of national pride. With Hitler in power, there would be no more industrial conflicts, Germany would be rearmed and every German would have a job.
Hitler wasn’t popular in Germany at first and had to work hard to be noticed. The Great Depression affected many people’s lives in Germany, making them desperate for another leader. Hitler’s chance of becoming the new leader increased when he promised them a better life and a “new” Germany. When Hitler became the leader of Germany, he brought his Nazi party along with him. Many changes happened in Germany afterward. The Nazis put an end to a “Volk” community under Hitler’s power. The Nazis also put an end to trade unions and forced workers, employees, and employers into Nazi organizations. Hitler’s confidence grew very quickly as more people were forced under his power. People in Germany were strictly controlled by the Nazis. Some people believed Hitler’s leadership helped Germany more than anything. Even though some people thought that Hitler’s leadership made Germany better, there were so many negative impacts on Germany that people argued against that
The past has proven that strong corrupt leaders motivate people to do things that we would not usually do as well as give us a new perspective of the world. Occasionally, there are world leaders that we do not know why people would agree with their ways. One of these people is Hitler. Somehow, he convinced the people of Germany that his beliefs were the best and would help their community.
There were bountiful reasons as to why people would have chosen Hitler as their leader, such as
The central theme to this essay will be to answer the question “Discuss the roll that graphic design played in political/social change in a specific period”. This essay will look into what Hitler’s propaganda meant for the Nazis and the population of Germany. Propaganda is the dissemination of information to influence or control large groups of people. In totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, propaganda plays a significant role in consolidating power in the hands of the controlling party. (ushmm, 2015) This essay in conjunction will look into what Hitler’s propaganda meant, what methods conducted by Adolf Hitler and the Propaganda Ministry, directed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels use to infiltrate their enemies and commit mass genocide of the
Naturally, we as humans have the drive to be different, to stand out in a crowd, to express our individuality, but sometimes even in the blink of an eye you can be stripped of your self-expression, even the most basic thoughts you have can be taken away without your knowledge. The truth is, we don’t always receive the freedom that we believe we have, no matter what country you’re in, no matter how old you are, it doesn’t matter if your thoughts are pure or even crude the simple fact at hand is that they are all controlled. If you really sit back and think about it, time and time again our freedom of expression, opinion and expansion of knowledge are all taken away in one form or another. These series of events occurs in all corners
We are now living in the era of fake news and alternative facts. Where news stories can be entirely based on opinions verses facts. While this may seem like an entirely new phenomenon, it is not. Throughout history, totalitarian regimes used propaganda to create a narrative that allowed full control over its citizens. It was used to create some of the most horrendous acts humanity has ever seen. While we would like to believe totalitarian governments and propaganda have no place in our contemporary society, that is far from the truth. Sheldon Wolin, a political philosopher believed in the notion of inverted totalitarianism to describe the current and emerging state of democracy in the United States and Canada. This theory shows
Many people would willingly assist someone in danger, yet many German citizens sat idle as innocent people were slaughtered by the thousands. By the mid 1920s, Germany was plunged into a state of economic depression and people were desperately looking for someone to follow. Many people simply conformed to the ideals of others, despite their own thoughts and beliefs. Herd mentality is the subconscious adoption of the attitudes and behaviors of one’s peers. As a result of this ingrained disposition, people are more likely to “bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one” (Taleb 192). Through the use of propaganda, Hitler effectively targeted people’s innate need to conform to prevent the rapid decline in his following
Governments around the world keeps putting more restrictions on free speech/freedom of expression mainly under the guise of hate speech.
What is the relationship between a government and its people? Should the ultimate power be in the hands of the people or its leaders? V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue attempts to answer this question which has been at the heart of many political conflicts since the 18th century. The rise of liberalism was not without its opponents. Those that considered liberal ideals flawed and corrupt favoured a different approach, ranging from communism to fascism. In V for Vendetta, the fictional future of Great Britain is dominated by a fascist police state, comparable to Nazi Germany. “Undesirable” humans – usually minorities – are put into concentration camps and eradicated in the name of the collective good. The life of every citizen is regulated
