Propoganda

1. Propaganda is media designed to be a catalyst for people to take action, often with a strong bias.
2. 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." https://goo.gl/jTk6Oo
4. The first image depicts a man dressed in all yellow riding a horse with the words "Come on, Boys! Do your duty! By enlisting now!" This poster tries convince people to joining the armed forces by informing them the they have an obligation to their country to do so.
The second image is of Uncle Sam pointing at the reader with the words "I want you for U.S Army." This poster is trying to make enlisting personal by making it seem like the readers county is in need of the readers enlistment.
The third poster is of a woman wearing a navy uniform with the words "I want you for the navy." This poster is designed to grab the reader attention with the image of the woman and then try to convince them to join the navy.
6. All the posters seemed to be aimed at young men, as evidence by the use of the image of a woman and by saying "Come on, boys!"
7. It's kinda weird that the government uses tax money in order to convince its citizens to become soldiers.
8. The government wanted to make sure it had a strong enough military to be competitive in WWI.
