Communism
Communism has been a very problematic government belief that has been seen to have not worked out at all in the past. Therefore , during the 1920’s communism affected american politics and society dramatically in the years following World War 1.
Communism affected american politics and society due to american government striking fear into the eyes of the people by using propaganda. For intense, the picture of “Uncle Sam &
Co. “ demonstrates that people could see the harm in communism by showing how well the united states is doing by offering immigrants jobs and money , while in russia it shows how communism has caused people to die an starve to death. Therefore, government showing this picture makes people to try to help an understand why the government is so afraid of communism striking the U.S.
Another way the fear of communism affected american politics and society dramatically was by allowing “Palmer Raids”. Palmer Raids were when the government allowed police man to raid immigrants home without a warrant or doing anything about the issue when it happened.
For instance, in the A. Mitchell Palmer article its stays,”An while they infected our social idea s with the disease of their own minds and their unclean moral, we can get rid of them!” This demonstrates how palmer raids are justifiable rather than being a use of mistreatment.

    The idea conveyed though a picture is not much different from that of an article or essay. The visual aspect is appealing and also can be interpreted in many ways, but it is often clear what the artist is attempting to portray. The American flag worn by Obama in the illustration, for example, provokes a certain feeling of pride and patriotism within Americans and that sense of freedom and loyalty is also felt by American allies. We as the audience know this because this cartoon was released the day after the raid that killed bin Laden and in addition, was published in a country apart from the ones directly involved in the attack. Davey knew that the mere symbol of the red, white, and blue stars and stripes was enough to invoke a sense of pride into the audience’s mind without having it unfurled and raised high on a pole as it is commonly shown. Propaganda is created in order to incite a specific feeling in the audience’s mind set. “…our emotion is the stuff with which propagandists work… They can make us glow with pride or burn with…

    It is no secret that the United States is on a spiraling moral decline. The overall morals of the people have been changing steadily since the beginning of civilization. America, which was founded on a spiritual basis, has been turning its back on the morals that this very nation was established upon. The United States has now become a place in which television, internet, newspapers, and media in general scream moral decline, as well as a place where parental discipline has dwindled away to nearly no form of discipline at all. The fact is: America’s morals are declining.…

More than 130 casualties were confirmed, and a hundred fifty five others were left injured. The romantic city was left in lockdown, and the rest of the world in fear. Indeed, “the skies have been darkened” (Obama), but between the sadness in the dark skies was a tinge of beauty and light.The terror attacks in ISIS may have killed, scarred and injured many innocent lives, but it also did something else: it brought the world together. On Facebook, users had the opportunity to use a filter that tinted their profile pictures the color of the French flag.

    This is used as an opportunity by dictators to control the hearts and minds of their people in a dangerous form of propaganda. Violating privacy is something that destroys the very ideals that our founders fought for. Taking over the privacy of citizens under the justification of safety is a threat that is more subtle but no less dangerous than foreign enemies, fostering a rot of individuality. In addition, business, the heart of our free-market economy, suffers under surveillance. This matters to every U.S. Citizen, as the choices made about security now will change the way Americans act and how the U.S. Government treats its citizens for decades. Should the government gain the right to become evermore intrusive into the lives of Americans, it will be another step in the direction of big government. On the other hand, refusing the government and denying them the right to access our information will guarantee the freedom of not only Americans but future Americans for decades to come.…
