Propaganda was an important tool which was used during World was 11. The purpose it played was to change the way people viewed what was happening during the war. Persuasion was used in the form of posters, art, and television in order to change people’s perspectives. Just like anything else in life, there were pros and cons to the formats utilized to do this. One of the pros, which was of the utmost importance, was to boost morale. This would have been effective during this time because of all the fighting and other atrocities that came along with war. A con to this propaganda would have been that it caused people to make invalid assumptions on other races, genders, and cultures.…
Women were also largely part of the war effort, although they were not allowed to enlist as soldiers, they helped by enlisting as nurses, treating those wounded from battle, or by working the jobs men did before the war, supplying ammunition to be used. Propaganda was also used to persuade women into sending their sons or husbands to enlist in the army. The government persuaded women to take jobs in factories, creating ammunition and weapons, by saying they should ‘do their part’ while men were fighting in trenches. Propaganda aimed at recruits for nurses targeted maternal instincts and religious beliefs, for instance in the red cross ‘help’ poster. The woman in the poster has her arms outstretched, standing in front of a cross, resembling…

Everybody uses propaganda or is driven into it in daily life. It is not so easy to figure out that you are facing with propaganda in some ways. In her article “Propaganda: How Not to Be Bamboozled”, Donna Woolfolk Cross defines what propaganda means and comes up with some subtopics of propaganda such as “name-calling” and “plain-folks appeal”. Some people would rather to refer propaganda for good purposes but most people are manipulated by opportunist propagandists. According to Cross, by asking questions and not believing everybody so easily, people’s futures would be written by themselves, not by the propagandists. The future of Americans in World War II was written by propagandists who used some tactics to convince women to apply for male jobs to serve their country in the war.…
Disparity is the state of being unequal or different in some respect. This brings to inequality being lack of equality and also the distance toward the rich and poor. Poverty is when having very little or no money and very few or no material possessions. As for development is the act of improvement meaning gaining, expanding, or enlarging. Inequality and poverty can cause a country not to develop well, unless you have a good strategy. In this case I will show you a developed country (Spain) and a under developed county (Chad). I will do this by explaining four disparities of the same for both countries. Those disparities are total population, unemployment rate, and condom use.…
The Internet provides a growing platform for inaccurate, untrue and questionable information. On the upside, the miracle of Internet connectivity speeds peoples access to the information, knowledge and insights that contribute to humanities social and intellectual evolution. It also helps sweep aside information gatekeepers in positions of power whose “arrogant . . . unimaginative and shortsighted” approach to information has traditionally promoted their own interests and attitudes toward control (Lovett 16). Lovett states that “the right to free speech begins and ends with the First Amendment, but there is a vast middle where our freedom of speech is protected by our capacity to listen and accept that people disagree” (18). The First Amendment’s protections have always put a great deal of responsibility in the hands of the people and now they have more of that power…
The rise of the technology in the political world has led to unchecked Internet. Unchecked Internet has exploited various amounts of dangers within the political world. The first highly noted problem is misinformation. The Internet is mostly unmonitored which allows people to post misleading and false information about politics unlike newspapers, magazines, and television networks, where editors and fact-checkers ensure correct information is disputed to the public. In political campaigns misinformation can have a major impact on the outcome of the poll and the support in which the candidate receives and which who they receive that support from. Also, misinformation can change the way the public views the candidate. In addition, Internet has factored in the decline in political civility. Bloggers sometimes use the Internet as a weapon to attack the opponent and ruin their reputation by posting lies and slander. The unchecked Internet also allows the problem of possessing a host of unknown potentialities. National elections through computer terminals could be hacked into and cause a political crisis. Unchecked Internet can be managed around however it will still be out there. Factual information is always used by newspapers, magazines, and television networks, because they have fact –checkers unlike bloggers whom may post whatever they are so inclined to. Ones best chance to receive true information about a political candidate or a political issue is to rely on the sources stated above unlike a blog. By doing so one can receive credible information that is not misleading and make certain it is valuable…
When spectators look at society today, they see today’s youth, absorbed in their phones, laptops, and tablets. They see almost everyone getting more and more used to the idea of violence in society. And they see adults, searching for happiness. Ray Bradbury, who wrote the novel Fahrenheit 451 almost sixty years ago, was able to predict these happenings. But the one big prediction was the Internet. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury describes information everywhere; from walls to little earbuds he named Seashells. Most people in the novel blindly obeyed what they were told and believed all the information they were given. Today, some are seeing these same patterns in this world. Its main cause is the Internet.…
In the Ted Talk “The Filter Bubble”, the speaker Eli Pariser talks about the negative effects of personalizing the web and how it destroys the sense of unity that the web was based on. “Your filter bubble is your own personal, unique universe of information that you live in online. What’s in your filter bubble depends on who you are, and it depends on what you do. But you don’t decide what gets in — and more importantly, you don’t see what gets edited out.” The central message in this talk is to warn viewers of the filter bubble that the internet is trapping them in. In his talk I feel that he didn’t use all 3 of the appeals equally. His pathos was by far the strongest and he expressed it through his tone of voice and emphasis on being connected with everyone. His background made him somewhat credible for Ethos but he lacked in Logos and didn’t state his sources clearly as he would just refer to “some people in google” or “my friend”. Pariser’s approach could have worked better if he would have just provided more facts rather than focus on pure emotion.…
A wealth of information constantly exists in the world around us and continues to be discovered and created as the sciences progress. In fact, it has been estimated that every two days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003. Along with this affluence of information it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between the different facets of data. Information can be divided into three main sections: knowledge, opinion and propaganda. Knowledge is most conventionally defined as a justified, true belief. An opinion is a view or judgment that is not necessarily based on scientifically proven facts. Propaganda is defined as biased information that is presented in a way to promote or publicize a certain cause. These three forms of information all have their uses and have proven to be dangerous in the…
There are lots of propaganda related to immigration. The most influential propaganda that I personally saw was "Immigrants are going to steal our jobs." Although my paper is about, stopping the immigrants from entering the United States, however, there are some benefits when immigrants come into the country. There is no evidence that immigrants still the jobs. Most of the times immigrants do the jobs that the normal citizen won't do. Some of the immigrants come up with a new innovation and they develop their ideas in the United States. Economy growth much faster with immigrants coming into the country.…
Networking sites enables the spread of unreliable and false information. We, the Mass Comm students must know that. What are the premises?
