Will You Fight Now Poster
I believe that the recruitment poster, “Will You Fight Now?”, is the strongest recruitment poster. I think this because I believe that it sends the strongest message to someone who reads it. I have several reasons to think this, and I will show you my reasons in the upcoming paragraphs. The poster, “Will you fight now?”, shows that everyone is terrified that the Germans will invade America. It uses scare tactics to persuade men who are capable of fighting to go and fight for their country. The poster shows that if you do not go out and fight, you are basically surrendering, and allowing the enemy to invade. It also shows other horrible things that could happen if you don't fight. This propaganda poster shows that your family can be taken away and murdered if you don't go and fight for your country. It shows that you …show more content…
Someone could think, “If I fail he dies.” ,is stronger because it tries to convince nurses to join the fight, and help the wounded. Someone could think that, “The Call To Duty.”, is stronger because it shows that if you don't fight blood could be spilled on our land. Someone could think, “The Navy Needs you!”, is stronger because it shows that if you don't fight, the military could be destroyed. Some people also think that, “Enlist.”, is stronger because it shows that the rich should join the fight. I think that, “Will You Fight Now?”, is stronger than “If I Fail He Dies.”, because the other one only targets nurses, which limits the audience. I believe that mine is stronger than, “The Call To Duty.”, because the other only targets men of a certain age, and no one else. I believe that mine is stronger than, “The Navy Needs You!”, because the other does not show any weapons. And it also shows ships burning in the background. I believe mine is stronger than, “Enlist”, because the other only targets rich people, and no one

    • For many young men the whole thing was expected to be an adventure that would be exciting and promised that they would "be home in time for Christmas". Then came Kitchener's poster campaign, "Your Country Needs YOU !" and the public conception became that anyone who did not volunteer was, by definition, an unpatriotic coward.…

    The caption states that family is “sacred” and it must be kept free. The poster is an attempt to gather support and more soldiers for the war, as many Americans were unsure about entering the war. By saying, “keep the family free” it is saying to defend their freedom. Lange’s poster is propaganda due to its use of bias, lack of information, and how the information is stated.…

    The enemy was of course the Germans. The poster explained what the Germans goals were, how they operate in order to receive information, what not to do in order to prevent giving confidential information out, when to report this situation, and how to report this situation. This was effective to the American public because of course no one wanted to give any information to the enemy. It also helped Americans gain a better sense of pride for the country, especially since they felt they were protecting it. This poster was targeting anyone that could be out having a simple conversation with anyone. Mostly, since the example is two women speaking, the poster could’ve been targeted more towards the female gender. It could’ve been targeted more towards women because women are stereotypically known to talk and gossip more than men. Regardless, the poster definitely got its point across and had the ability to make Americans self-conscious of the things they said and whom they said these things…

    The first bombardment taught us better.

In contrast, to Bäumer realized that it is better to not die for your country.

    Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure - and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine 0 God, be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing - perfectly willing - to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt.…

    Rhetoric in Movies

    • 856 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Rhetoric and movies have coexisted within each other ever since the first showing of a moving picture on the big screen. Movies, particularly Saving Private Ryan, could not have delivered a single message to its audience without the use of rhetoric. Saving Private Ryan is a classic movie to watch whether a person lived through the nineteen nineties or not. As being a nameless time-honored work, Saving Private Ryan influences and challenges many people’s outlook on life. To be able to do so, Saving Private Ryan uses persuasive rhetoric. In particular, George Marshall, a character in the movie, targets the moral and the ethical side of humans and wants support in disregarding logic and doing what is morally right. With this intention, Marshall effectively delivers Saving Private Ryan’s rhetoric through the heavy reliance on ethos and pathos.…

    One popular event many artists used for their motivation, was the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, as the event “... made people angry because it was a civilian ship…”, killing many innocent people (How was information was shared). The British relied on more of the artistic side and effective slogans to make it happen, showing “posters… printed that made the army look exciting”, to get men into their smaller army (How was information shared?). A shady tactic that got used by the British was to tell “stories about the bad things the Germans had done”, which put resentment into citizens and motivated action, including enlistment (How information was shared?). Also, the poster appealed to a sense of national honor and aimed to make the men that did not take action and join to feel a sense of guilt. The artists used the element of pathos to convey to a man’s feelings and interpret “their children would be embarrassed if their father had done nothing in the war” (How was information shared?). In the end, Great Britain needed lot of soldiers and people to work together, as just an element of human…

    To most people war is a way that we settle disputes with other nations, but they don’t fully understand the intricate details that go along with it. Its not just about the guns, gernades and tanks, it brings out different aspects of soldiers personalities and I think should be more focused on the hardships that individual and groups of soldiers endure. The horrific situations that soldiers undergo can cause different types of actions that they would take because war is contradictory. Soldiers experience unimaginable stress that can make them appear weak or strong. Which is the biggest contradiction that war presents; war makes you strong and war makes you weak. There are numerous examples which can easily be found in the book The things they carried by Tim O’brien. Two stories that demonstrate it best are “the man I killed” and “speaking of courage.” Looking back through history also farther promotes the idea, like when America created the atomic bomb, and started a draft.…

    Uncle Sam Ethos

    I want you: a three word phrase that immediately brings the image of Uncle Sam to our minds. James Montgomery Flagg is the man behind the curtain, pulling the strings behind the subconscious connection we make between this phrase and Uncle Sam. Flagg is the creator of the iconic Uncle Sam army recruitment poster that we have undoubtedly seen reproduced time and time again. The image was originally published as the cover of the July 6, 1916 issue of Leslie’s Weekly magazine with the title “What Are You Doing for Preparedness?” (Library Of Congress) This poster, patriotic and persuasive, was one of the most popular propaganda tools ever used. By establishing ethos through Uncle Sam, kairos by being used during…

    "Keep this Horror from Your Home," an American propaganda poster produced during World War II, uses many visual and textual elements to encourage Americans to buy war bonds by portraying the Japanese as rapists. The author of the piece is unknown, but it is obvious that the creator of the poster carefully chooses the color, patterns, scale, text, and representation of the piece to send a very strong social and political message. There is little doubt that the underlying message was directed towards all Americans during World War II, and not towards a single community or group of people. The viewer does not need an art background or even the slightest political awareness to understand the meaning of the poster. Rather, the poster is simple and straightforward. The central focus of the poster is on the Japanese man, whose facial features are clearly exaggerated to instill fear and disgust in the eyes of the viewer. In contrast, the frightened and vulnerable expression of the American woman, who is helpless in the grasp of the Japanese soldier, fuels the viewer's hatred for the Japanese even more. Its message is palpable to the extent of the quickest glance, yet there is more evidence hidden beyond the surface of the poster. Its full visual potential can be realized only after analyzing the various visual and textual elements in exacting detail.…

    Across the country, many individuals are highly disappointed with this act of racism. With over 1.6 K retweets and 2.8 K likes on twitter, the poster is receiving major attention on headlines of major news companies. Most people are simply enraged due to the fact that in 2016 racism is still alive and strong, across the nation. Some Americans do not consider the poster racist because it's a multicultural poster, which includes children of all races and ethnicities. According to The American Red Cross, this was an "inadvertent action" of racism. The American Red Cross stated, "we apologize for any misunderstanding, as it was absolutely not our intent to offend anyone." Since this poster caused so much controversy, The American Red Cross discontinued the illustration and requested for the poster to be removed from public swimming pools across the nation.…

    “These are times that try men's souls”- Thomas Paine . Are you a summer soldier or sunshine patriot? (D) Will you run when times are dark? What will you do in this crisis? I am Annabelle June, but am known as Alex Moore, here in Valley Forge when I’m in my disguise as a boy. Last winter I signed up for nine months of service, because of the war with the British in America. I also joined because it is the right thing, I'm sure of it, especially with the fights my parents had about the war. I was raised a Quaker and a farmer, and fighting in a war isn’t exactly what most would call honorable in my town. I'm eighteen years old and I refuse to let my home go without a fight. It's winter again and I have been faced with the hardest decision in the world: to quit or re-enlist? Since I have already enlisted, I don't see the point in not re-enlisting, which is called quitting. I have already sinned against my religion, which preaches peace and nonviolence, and the army needs my help. At least I…

    Army Recruitment

    • 3195 Words
    • 13 Pages

    In the last few years the Army has been experiencing problems with recruitment. With the national unemployment rate around 4.8% and the fact that shortly after joining the Army the reality of deploying to a war zone is imminent, recruiters are having a tougher time meeting their recruitment goals. The Army marketing campaign totaled over $850 million in FY2006 and still managed to come out short with recruitment. Since the country is doing its best to provide an all voluntary military force during a time of war recruiters for the Army have employed drastic means in order to sign up recruits. Some recruiters are even being accused of less than honorable methods of recruitment. Leading a potential recruit to believe that they will be able to do certain things in the Army which are extremely competitive and unlikely is not honorable. What kind of tactics can recruiters use to bring up the Army's numbers and how much is the Army and the tax payers willing to spend to get these recruits?…
