Easter Island Propaganda

Culture influence could be used as a propaganda tool. People gain their knowledge, overall speculation, belief and thought via social interaction and media. Propaganda was first initiated in 1662 by Pope Gregory XV when he established “The Sacred Congregation for Propagating the Faith.” Propaganda was then, similar to now, a given set of information laid in a biased or a misleading way. Propaganda became a great tool for leaders to promote their point of view and to influence the masses. For instance, war became a major to use propaganda, as a leader seek to gain support for his cause and advocate and also to hide the terror of their doings and the mistakes of the front line.

Easter Island is a perfect example of a cultural conflict in a society, mainly because it is the most isolated island and eco system. Therefore, there were no external effect and influence.

The archaeological records show that Eastern Island was much different from what the Spaniards had encountered, it was prosper filled with wild life and trees. The first native of the island came over a thousand years ago and their diet consisted mainly on dolphins and fishing. Sadly it took only four hundred years for the native to exploit all the trees to build canoes for fishing. Moreover, they lead all the fish and dolphin on the cost to extinction. After exploiting all of their main source of food they moved their diet to birds until they have killed them all. Lastly, rats became the main diet for the natives. However, such a food source is hard to relay on which lead to cannibalism, wars and dividing the Island into groups. What a hair-raising story, and all of that happened because they did not understand their
