Propaganda Questions

1. Originally it was associated with religious groups, and what they used to lure in new members was known as propaganda. However during WWI it became to be more affiliated with wartime advertisements more specifically government based propaganda.

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda Propaganda is misleading advertising often associated with a certain political view.

3. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-7jsJa5YaWrNE04aUtTVHV4bk0/view

4. All three of these posters feature women in a powerful pose often surrounded or including white light as a sign of good morale or doing righteous duty. they also feature a strong contrast between the colors orange and blue do symbolize power.

5. The author is trying to show that women have a place in the war that isn't as soldiers but rather in the workplace where men left their jobs to go fight or as nurses to help the wounded soldiers when they return. You can tell by the powerful posing, color scheme, and including of white light that the author signifies that women have a significant purpose in the war, and by they messages and the clothes they're wearing it is in the workplace of as nurses.

6. The author is assuming that the audience is a woman currently looking for work and/or one who is looking to help the military endeavors of the United States. You can tell this by the fact that all of the people in these posters were women and they had some sort affiliation to the workplace or the military.

7. I feel like if it were to happen right now when we have one of, if not the, strongest military in the world i would not be okay with it, however at the time when we needed to gain strength quite rapidly in the military i feel it was acceptable for the government to do this.

8. They did it because they needed to rapidly increase the quantity of the soldiers and to gain support for a stronger military
