In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, co

vering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood
are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham. Here haunted of yore the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought many of the most
desperate battles during the Civil Wars of the Roses; and here also flourished in ancient times those bands of gallant outlaws, whose deeds have been rendered so popular in English song. Such being our chief scene, the date of our story refers to a period towards the end of the
reign of Richard I, when his return from his long captivity had become an event rather wished than hoped for by his despairing subjects, who were in the meantime subjected to every species of subordinate oppression. The nobles, whose power had become exorbitant during the reign of Stephen, and whom the prudence of Henry the Second had scarce reduced to some degree of subjection to the crown, had now resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent; despising the feeble interference of the English Council of State, fortifying their castles,
increasing the number of their dependants, reducing all around them to a state of vassalage, and striving by every means in their power, to place themselves each at the head of such forces as might enable him to make a figure in the national convulsions which appeared to be impending.

Write an analytical essay in which you analyze and evaluate the techniques used in World War II propaganda.
liq [111]

Firstly, I'll explain what the propaganda is and how it affected World War 2. By definition, Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented. Propaganda can be found in news and journalism, government, advertising, entertainment, education, and activism and is often associated with material which is prepared by governments as part of war efforts, political campaigns, health campaigns, revolutionaries, big businesses, ultra-religious organizations, the media, and certain individuals such as soap boxers.

Propaganda played a prevalent role during WWII. It was used for many purposes which included recruiting for the army or helping out on the home front. Propaganda became very influential and shaped the way many Americans, Japanese, and Europeans viewed each other. During WWII, there were five main objectives along with various techniques that were used in propaganda in order to portray messages to the viewers/audience.

The objective that World War 2 used for the propaganda were the following:

Recruitment of Soldiers: Convince Americans to join the army.

Financing the War Effort: Convince Americans to give money to the government to help pay for the war.

Example: Buy War Bonds

Unifying the Country Around the War Effort: Convince Americans that entering the war is a good idea-to increase patriotism. (In the beginning, most did not want any more war; WWI had only been over for 23 years.)

Conservation of Resources: Convince Americans to not waste resources.

Example: Grow your own garden (called Victory Gardens) or use less gasoline for your car. Increasing Support on the Home Front: Convince Americans of the importance in helping the army at home. All Americans could participate and help win the war. Example: Women replaced men in factories to create weapons, ships, planes.

And finally the techniques of World War 2 propaganda were:

Demonization: Artists portrayed enemy individuals as demons or monsters. Example: The poster above of the Japanese soldier with evil eyes.

Emotional Appeal: Viewers emotions were used in an effort to have them agree with the message.

Example: Posters showing that thousands of Americans have died by the hands of the Germans and Japanese.

Patriotic Appeal: Artists appealed to the love of one's country. These posters usually had a country's flag or some form of representation for that country. Example: The use of an American Flag or American soldier.

Name Calling: Artists called other group of people by their derogatory names. Example: Germans were called Huns and the Japanese were called Japs.

Appeal to Fear: The use of fear sought to build support and unite a group of people by instilling fear in the general population. It scared Americans, for example, into believing that the war had to be fought, otherwise, America was going to be invaded by monstrous Germans and Japanese.

Catchy Slogan: Artists used short phrases or words in an effort to grab the viewer's attention. These slogans had to be very easy to remember with a very clear message. These always utilized prejudice or racism that existed against these people. Example: Remember Pearl Harbor!

Bandwagon: The message was clear: the audience was told "everyone else is doing it." It made Americans want to be a part of the crowd, to not feel left out, and to "do their part." Example: A poster saying that victory is inevitable, so you should join and support the cause to be on the winning side.
