Post WWll- Propaganda Notes
Types of Propaganda:
- Emotional Appeal: Appealing the emotions of your audience. When someone uses fear!
- Glittering Generalities: To make us approve and accept without examining the evidence. "We believe in" & ""Fight for" (take their message and go with it)
- Testimonials: Famous people who will appear trustworthy that speak to the audience. (Captain America and he says "cap salutes you, buy war bonds")
- Bandwagon: Someone does it so you should do it, kind of like peer pressure. "Everyone is doing it, so should you"
- Plain- folks: Speakers attempt to convince their audience that they, and their ideas are "of the people"
- Scientific Approach: Uses scientific jargon to convince your audience. (Like showing the difference of calories in chips and says they are less harmful)
- Snob Appeal: Giving the impression that people of wealth are on board. (Your friends are fighting, why aren't you?)
- Card Stacking: Only presenting one side of the issue/situation.
- Transfer: The person who is spreading the message, wants you to accept it.
- Name- calling: Links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. (Someone calling the Japanese, Japanizes) (it's very rude)
- Euphemisms: Words and phrases that are polite but also considered harsh and impolite. (Instead of saying shut up, you could say shush)
The Main types of Propaganda:
* Emotional Appeal
* Bandwagon
* Name- calling
* Euphemism
* Glittering generalities
Highly visible messages:
/ Posters, movies, even cartoons
/ Inexpensive to create, easily accessible, ever-present in schools, factories, and store windows.
/ Most aimed to boost patriotism
/ Some took on racist's overtones.
Objectives of the U.S. Government Propaganda Campaign:
- Recruitment
- funding the war
- Unifying public behind war efforts
- Eliminating dissent (difference of opinions) of all kinds
- Resource conservation
- Factory production of all materials.
Propaganda in the U.S.:
* 1941- Americans were in isolation
- Believing that their country should rebuild following the Great Depression, not fight a distant war.
* The Office of War Information (O.W.I.), the source of such propaganda in the U.S. was created in 1942 by the FDR
- Created to both craft and dismantle government messages
* O.W.I. photographers documented aspects of home front life and culture such as women in the workforce and dealt with a wide array of morale issues.
- Pulled at both positive and negative emotions
