The first piece of propaganda that is used depicts a few British citizens behind the British flag, with an outline of the country on it. One of the types of persuasion it uses is the bandwagon appeal, which convinces others to join or do whatever the propaganda is suggesting, because others are doing it. Patriotism is used as well. Great Britain's flag and the country itself is on the paper, making it patriotic. Patriotic colors, such as red, blue, and white are used. The sentence “Everyone Else is Fighting-Where Are You?” makes whoever is reading it feel like they should be out fighting too. The use of patriotic colors and the flag would make a person feel as though they need to be defending their country and supporting it.
At the start of the war the use of recruitment propaganda was quite minimal. However, over time when people started to realise the devastation and death toll of the war, less people volunteered. Therefore, the government increased the amount of propaganda by hanging more posters, publishing newspapers and more, in the effort to increase their chances in defeating the Ottoman Empire. The government used methods of manipulation in their posters such as targeting people’s sense of patriotism, guilt, mate ship as well using atrocity propaganda and women to advertise their campaign. For example in the poster ‘it is nice in the surf but what about the men in the trenches’, evidently shows how the government tries to make men feel a sense of guilt
Propaganda has an effective psychological influence that works to promote a particular, political view-point. The government of Oceania uses propaganda to their advantage to gain support of the Party’s ideology. Similarly, Adolf Hitler used propaganda during the Nazi reign on Germany to support the Nazi ideology. The sole purpose of propaganda is to encourage a biased belief. For example in 1984 the way in which the Party has spread propaganda is through the use of posters: “A new poster had suddenly appeared all over London. It had no caption, and represented the monstrous figure of a Eurasian soldier.. a submachine gun pointed from his hip. From whatever angle you looked at the poster, the muzzle of the gun magnified by the foreshortening, seemed to be pointed straight at you” (Orwell, 149). These posters were displayed throughout Airstrip One to depict the Eurasian soldier as an antagonistic threat. The configuration of the poster “pointing” a gun at the viewer is to encourage a negative response, thus promoting the goal of the Party. In history, one can see how Hitler used propaganda to his
"Propaganda was a huge tool used to sway citizens toward a particular political view. "The U.S.A. entered World War One in April 1917, but lost no time in producing many more propaganda posters than any other single nation. These encompassed recruitment to the various armed services, plus - frequently - the raising of war finance via
Like in many political cycles, both sides heavily used propaganda to try to convince undecided voters to vote their way. The above examples are from the “Vote No” camp, the group of individuals who wanted Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom. Many of pieces perpetuate the idea that Scotland would be better off if it remained in the United Kingdom rather than if it were to leave. Many also combine symbols of both countries in order to further the idea of unity, such as the Union Jack and St. Andrew’s Cross (the Flag of Scotland). These pieces are different from the examples of advertisements because the “Vote No” propaganda was trying to influence peoples’ belief regarding an idea/issue rather than trying to sell them a good or
Many propaganda techniques are used in this poster. It uses Name Calling as well as Empty Phrases by calling England the 'Bloodsuckers of the World'. It also uses Facts and Figures by supplying a list of the places the English have colonised in order to 'prove' their point. The poster also uses Demonisation to make England seem villainous and wicked. The use of Evocative Visual Symbols such as the red octopus-like figure wrapping its tentacles around the Earth is another technique that the poster uses in order to get its point across.
Ultimately, persuasion is the best when a person has no direct authority over a diverse group. An efficient and widely used tool of persuasion is propaganda. A simple way to connect with propaganda is to think of commercials on TV.

Such propaganda included posters asking people to “Wake up America! Civilisation calls every man, woman and child!” A British poster that emphasises the involvement of the total population in the war effort shows different kinds of people engaging in war responsibilities – men at battle, women in the workforce making uniforms, men making weapons – and it asks “Are YOU in this?” This kind of all-embracing propaganda had the aim to brainwash whole nations. The combination of the public’s thirst for information about the war and various governments’ urgent need to mobilise entire civilian populations for the war effort led to a moulding of the public’s thinking through the printed word. In Germany, for example, the military had the right to censor the press and any information that could distress the people was suppressed, while unfavourable news about a situation on the front was passed over silence, delayed or toned down. This was the same in Britain and France. The First World War was total because propaganda and censored news were used as weapons that could reach whole populations and intervene into everyday lives. Even though not all people were physically involved in battle, even children could look at a newspaper or propaganda poster and feel the impact of war through words that evoke fear, sadness, anger or give the urge to join the army.
The following three sources are propaganda posters from the Cold War. This form of publicity was used by many governments and groups to show ideologies and attitudes. Propaganda is a form of persuasion used to influence people’s beliefs and behaviours. It is essentially a way to advertise an agenda.

Propaganda was a prominent form of advertising during the Second World War. Artists, worked created pieces to convince people to join movements. The poster by Miller J. Howard, was aimed to convince women that they could be part of the labor force, specifically in the factory sector. The poster contains bright colors such as blues, reds, and yellows to attract attention. Miller used bright colors to create and image that captivated women’s attention and convinced them that they could also do what back then was considered a men’s job. Using bright colors, reflects the level of urgency the government had to recruit more women into the labor force.

Propaganda is something that can take control of one, brainwash someone’s mind, and make a person think otherwise to their own beliefs. You see the use of propaganda in a lot of places, although it was primarily used in the past. For example during WWII, but you also see it today, and also in the books we read and the T.V. we watch. One can see that in the novel 1989, Orwell shows the propaganda that the Party puts out for their citizens. There’s numerous of accounts of propaganda shown in the novel, one large example being Big Brother. Introduced in the first few pages of the book, one can see the importance that he shows to the propaganda and control the party has. “The black-mustachio’d face gazed down from everywhere….
