World War II: The Home Front • Propaganda is the activity of inducing others to behave in a way in which they would not behave in its absence. • It is material distributed to win people over to a particular way of thinking. 2 Propaganda • • • • • Demonizing the enemy Boosting morale Encouraging support of wartime measures Recruitment Vigilance and paranoia 3 Demonizing the Enemy 4 Who do you think “You and I” refers to? 5 What might the boot symbolize? 6 • What do each of the snakes symbolize? • How do you know? 7 • Why do you think this snake is coiled around the other? • What might this symbolize? • Why do you think this snake is the only one striking out at the boot? 8 In your opinion, what does “Beat Your Promise” refer to? 9 • What might the frog symbolize? • Why do you think it has a bandage on its chin? 10 • Propaganda was also used by the Nazi’s to get our soldiers to quit. 11 12 • This type of propaganda was distributed to our soldiers after the D-Day landing. • They want them to question their purpose and go home. 13 Now let’s look at the 9 types of propaganda. 14 Bandwagon • This appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the crowd. Because the propagandist wants us to follow the crowd in masses, he directs his appeal to groups held together already by common ties, ties of nationality, religion, race, sex, vocation. Thus propagandists campaigning for or against a program will appeal to us as Catholics, Protestants, or Jews...as farmers or as school teachers; as housewives or as 15 adolescents. Testimonial • This is the celebrity endorsement of a philosophy, movement or candidate. 16 Plain Folks • In this propaganda a candidate or cause is identified with common people from everyday walks of life. 17 Transfer • Uses symbols, quotes or images of famous people to convey a message not necessarily associated with them. 18 Fear • The idea is to present a dreaded circumstance and usually follow it up with the kind of behavior needed to avoid that horrible event. 19 Logical Fallacies • Example: Bill Clinton supports gun control Communists regimes support gun control. Bill Clinton is a communist • Example: Muslims believe in God. Christians believe in God. Muslims are Christians 20 Glittering Generalities • A generally accepted virtue is usually employed to stir up favorable emotions. The problem is that these words mean different things to different people. Look for the words honor, freedom, love of country… 21 Name-Calling • This ties a person or a cause to a largely perceived negative image. 22 Scapegoat • Scapegoating is the act of irrationally holding a person, or group of people, responsible for a multitude of problems. 23
