bomb propaganda

The overt message is to duck and cover when you see a flash of light.
I dont think this is propaganda, nut instead a message to people everywhere meant to instill fear in their minds because they think a bomb might hit them at anytime. I think that the reason for the government doing this was because if the people are scared that these things might happen, then they will be sure to know what to do when it happens.

Oil

The overt message in this film is that oil is very important to our way of life. Not only does it play a role in the creation of products and serve as fuel for many of our items, it also serves as fuel for competition. And, competition helps a civilization move forward. The covert message is to support American oil companies because the competition helps move our country forward.

Propaganda

In the picture the woman is wearing red white and blue so it is obvious she is patriotic. The poster says the key to victory is in the kitchen. This message is directed at woman at home while their husbands fight. They are saying they can help from home, in their kitchens. But, not by eating more. They want people to eat less to save money for war bonds. This poster is from around the time when the government was pushing the sales of war bonds to help the troops, and this is an example of that push.

Clampdown

I think that the song is about the Holocaust. I think this because in the song there is a point where they are wondering if a man was a jew. This would only matter to the Nazi German's. Also, in the song it says they are creating "young believers". This can be compared to the Hitler Youth. Hitler and his armies used propaganda to persuade young people to follow in their cause. This also is an example of propoganda in the song. Propaganda is used to get people to agree with you message and in the song it says they convince them into being young believers.

Propaganda

 The Communist plan for Hollywood was remarkably simple. (Part of it would be) “to gradually work
into the movies the requisite propaganda attitudes…to soften the American public’s hardening
attitude toward Communism.” RONALD REAGAN (1911-2004), U. S. President, Where’s The Rest of
Me, 1981

I think what the president is talking about in this quote is not really propaganda, but actually an attempt at persuasion. This is because in propaganda, there is an obvious message, but the point is to get people to think something else. In this situation, the communists are not trying to manipulate people into liking communism, but to show people communism from a new point of view in Hollywood to try and convince people that it is actually a good thing. I think that is the main reason why it is not propaganda because its purpose is not to manipulate but to persuade.

Brave new world 3

1. What is the real reason for Bernard bringing John back to the one state?
2. If everyone thought John was a savage, why did Lenina want to get with him?
3. Why does the society end up winning over John and Winston in their perspective books?

1984 2

I think that the reason Winston is not buying into what Big Brother is saying is because of his internal need for freedom. I think that he wants to believe all of it but he just cant bring himself to ignore the feeling that he has that what Big Brother is doing is wrong. He wants the oppression of the government to stop because he knows that freedom is important and as humans they should be free. I think that Winston's acts are more personal than for the greater good. He knows that there is something wrong with his society and he rebels against it; however, his rebellions dont actually help people. Instead, I believe, that they fulfill Winston's need to protest what he knows is wrong. This can be compared to what is going on at the occupy wall street movement in real life. I think that these two things correlate a lot because it is the oppressed that is protesting against the 1 percent or the elite. Also, in both cases the people are fighting for equality across the board with out any special advantages to the elite that can lead to oppression in the future. The only difference is that in 1984, there is already oppression and Winston is rising against it. Based on that fact, that in the Orwellian society there is already oppression, I would say that we aren't Orwellian yet. And, I dont think that we will ever become Orwellian either because it is apparent that our society is willing to stand up to oppression when you look at the occupy wall street.
