    President Wilson’s main goal before the start of World War I was to not get involved. Practicing isolationism was a difficult task to follow through with though. Intercepting the Zimmerman Telegram from the Germans to the Mexican government changes the perspective of entering into the war. President Wilson’s “He Kept Us Out Of The War” campaign slogan quickly went out the window. Before America just entered into the war, Wilson wanted to make sure he had majority support from the American people. In order to obtain this support, Wilson initiated the use of propaganda into American every day life. The propaganda was meant to get people behind the war, get people to support the war, and also get the people to participate in the war effort. Two posters from the fifth chapter in Discovering The American Past Volume II (7th Edition), that seemed most effective were the “Spies and Lies”…

    The famous stele of Naram-Sin (also known as Naramsin in some scholarly sources) is a 6-foot and 6-inch-high relief cut from red sandstone currently located in the Musée de Louvre (cite art of the ancient near and middle east) depicting the grandson of Sargon’s victory over the people of the Zagros mountains, the Lullubi. (cite the textbook) This relief has many propaganda-like tools, such as position, scale, dynamics, location, and symbols used to enforce the idea of a strong and all-reigning leader that could hold the society together. This essay will provide multiple examples of how the image of Naram-Sin, the last great king of Akkad, was contorted to fulfill his self-inflicted title of “God of Akkad” using specific tools of propaganda.

    In the early 20th century Americans had very strong and often harsh views on foreigners. World War I propaganda provided the ideal platform for the expression of views on foreigners. Aside from World War I propaganda; many other writers of the time expressed their view of foreigners. In the early 20th century, Americans viewed foreigners as savage and uncivilized, which led to foreigners being viewed as a threat to democracy and therefore being treated with very little respect.…

    Propaganda is defined as information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. It is found in both 1984 and the country of North Korea. The reason it is used is to keep the citizens of both places in a fear of constant warfare, in belief that they’re living in a perfect world, and create a way to force the idea of how great each leader actually is through different types of technologies.…

    Although Leni Riefenstahl has denied her 1935 film Triumph des Willens (translated to Triumph of the Will) was made to be a Nazi propaganda film, several techniques she used while making the film strongly suggest otherwise. The editing of the film is the most obvious of these techniques as many scenes such as Hitler’s arrival are used to impose feeling of anxiousness in the viewer as well as to display the absolute power of the Third Reich. However, there are those that disagree with this reading of the film such as Frank P. Tomasulo who states, “Although Triumph of the Will was made about the party convention, it does not really articulate any specific political policy or substantive ideology. Instead, preliterate symbolic imagery and vague patriotic appeals are used to address the emotional concerns of the populace”, but one may suggest that her manipulation of scenes to impose emotions in the viewer displays an agenda put fourth by the filmmaker that denial can not erase. However, political influence of the film aside, Riefenstahl has been credited as an innovator of her time in the aspect of filmmaking techniques, her innovative use of close ups and camera angles have been donned by both documentary and narrative films alike. Even a film like Star Wars makes use of these techniques to invoke the same feelings onto the “Empire” in scenes such as those of the “Emperor’s” arrival to the “Death Star”. Beyond her ability to manipulate the camera Riefenstahl has also been noted as an innovator in the use of sound in documentary as she uses only location sound, and a musical score without voice over commentary creating what even Skiing Heritage Journal writer Morten Lund commented as “a startlingly effective innovation for a documentary.”…

    A: I had a mixture of feelings. First, as an American, I thought that the entire piece was trash and clearly had an agenda. Second, as a follow-up response, I thought that North Korean leaders must really be crazy if they truly believe in everything they say in the film. If the population believes in Propaganda, then it is no surprise that the Kim regime has such an iron grip over the people.…

    One of the prime uses of the internet by terrorists is for the propagation of propaganda. Propaganda usually takes the form of multimedia communications providing ideological or practical instruction, clarifications, justifications or promotion of terrorist activities. These may include computer-generated messages, presentations, magazines, treaties, audio and video files and video games advanced by terrorists’ organizations or sympathizers. Nevertheless, what constitutes terrorist propaganda, as opposed to legitimate advocacy of a viewpoint, is often a subjective valuation. Further, the distribution of propaganda is generally not, in and of itself, a prohibited activity. One of the basic canons of international law is the protection of fundamental…

    Definition of Propaganda

    • 559 Words
    • 3 Pages

    With the 2012 presidential election around the corner, every time we watch television, we are bombarded with ads for our presidential candidates. In these ads they go after each other for things they did or did not do. This leaves the voters more confused when it comes to make a decision on whom to vote for, and that’s what propaganda is. Propaganda distorts people’s point of view, by presenting facts selectively influencing people to believe information of a misleading nature. In other words, it is a way of lying by omission because it presents half- truths to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information presented. Propaganda is a narrow selfish way to get people to accept ideas and beliefs, and it is presented on different levels.…

    Many people have witnessed, heard, or read some famous politician’s speech. It is because of their speeches that they are either elected or thrown off the ballots depending on how nice their future promises and words are. However, according to Donna Cross’ article called “Propaganda: How not to be Bamboozled”, taking into consideration their choice of words and persuasive techniques would help us. We could be misunderstanding them, falling for their hidden tricks. By reading through a speech by Sally Kern and taking into consideration the advice of Cross, we can learn how to look carefully at details and unravel their disguises. Instead of falling for their sugar coated lies, looking deeper into the true meaning of words will get you voting for who you should actually vote for. Propaganda is not necessarily wrong to use, it gets people elected, but its methods are questionable and perhaps dishonest.…
