Propaganda Posters

1. In my own words I would say propaganda is an announcement by the government created to persuade society.

2.  the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person     https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda

image #1- When I first look at this image I notice the yellow soldier on the horse. I recognize the yellow and orange colors. I notice the soldier is looking away and the horse is in motion, as if the soldier is going to battle.

b. I think the artist message is to get men to join the army.

image #2- I first notice Uncle Sam, he seems to be looking directly and pointing at the viewer. I notice the American colors red, blue, and white. The word "you" seems to be the biggest word and seems to attract any viewer.

b. The artist message is to get people to know that joining the army is a proud American tradition.

image #3-  I notice the women as the focus of the poster. This is very different. The underlined words  also gets my touch.

b. I think the authors message is that men in the navy attracts women.  The purpose is to attract men to the navy.

7. I am fine with the federal government using tax dollars for this purpose. I feel that it is important to get these messages/ideas out to the people so everyone is on the same page.

8. I think WW! was an important time for propaganda cause the US needed as many soldiers for this war as possible, and to persuade men to join these posters were valuable.

Eddie Aikau

The film; Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau,  perspective of imperialism came from Eddie's and his family viewpoint that even though they were Hawaiian living in Hawaii they were still treated like the lower class by foreigners. The family told stories about how Americans and other foreigners would call them names on the beach even as kids. The American people had come to Hawaii and started to take dominance over the native. For example when Eddie first started his surfing career, Hawaiian people were not very popular in their on ancestry sport. Eddie was overlooked at the Duke Opening because he was Hawaiian. Also when the Australians had come to Hawaii and started saying horrible things to the Hawaiian surfers. The Australians were foreigners but tried to make the Hawaiians feel that they were under them.

"How do you analyze a political cartoon"?

1. I usually analyze a political cartoon by looking at the phrases the cartoonist has written on the cartoon. These phrases usually give the viewer information on the purpose of the cartoon. I also look at the actions of the characters in the cartoon, for me this is the quickest way to understand a cartoon.

2. I learned that cartoonist sometime over exaggerate in their cartoons. I knew that an author uses the characters for symbols to help send a message to the reader.

3. I will now look at political parties from multiple sides, meaning that I will not just look at the side the cartoonist highlights but also the side he/she is downplaying. I will look for irony in the cartoon to see if the author is showing the truth or creating their own opinion.

The cartoonist's message is about America's chase of the Philippines.

 I know this is the cartoonist's opinion because the person running is labeled "Filipino", and is being followed by Uncle Sam. The Filipino has a firearm in their hand, Uncle Sam has a less deadly weapon. I think the cartoonist used these object to show that the Philippines people were clueless. Instead of using the weapon the Filipino runs, i think this is to demonstrate that the Philippines needs America's guidance.

 The cartoonist message is that the Philippines government power is too little to stop America's capturing.

In this cartoonist's art there is a boot standing on top of the Philippines. The boot at the Uncle Sam straps and pants, this signifies America in the Philippines. The little man poking at the boot is Emilio Aguinaldo, the first Philippines president. This shows that Aguinaldo had no chance to standing up to America.

 The cartoonist's message is that the American army has came into Cuba and their imperialism has taken over.

I know this is the cartoonist's opinion because Uncle Sam is standing in Cuba, shielding a Cuban girl. Uncle Sam is really not protecting the girl but covering her up from the soldiers. This shows how American has came in and took control of the Cuban people. The Cuban girl is holding her hands together while looking back at the soldiers. This is signalizing the women begging for help from the Cuban soldiers.

Civil Rights Act of 1964ra

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on race, sex, religion,or national origin.Whites were no longer legally able to segregate blacks. Also,giving blacks and women less opportunity as the white man became illegal.
I think that some of these behaviors do still take place today because some people still are raised too discriminate. I think these behaviors are still taking place because of stereotypes. These stereotypes have created prejudice thoughts about certain race or sex that aren't completely true. I also think these behaviors still take place because there no one to stop them.
I think to help the issues people should really get to know a person before judging the person.
In the movie, the bravery of the children to sacrifice their lives for freedom was so amazing. The children seem to have no fear and took pride in this movement. I never knew children had such a big part in the civil right movement until watching this movie. Bull Connors had a scary amount of power. The fact that the KKK was in the police force and other groups shows how the city of Birmingham was. The blacks had zero power while the whites controlled everything.

    Today I am studying the history of suffrage. So far I have found out about the centennial luncheon in the Grand Ball Room. At this luncheon many female right leaders gave speeches. I also have researched the rally in Carnegie Hall for women rights. I researched and found Carnegie is in New York, New York. Mother's had the opportunity to speak -on how suffrage affected them being a mother to other mothers. When walked streets with signs. Some women we down to train stations and held signs so other passengers could see. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse was a leader of these women. Mrs,Whitehouse is known for publishing a book that she tells the story on how she took the German Secret Agent by the horns.Some political parties didn't want to get involved in the movement of women rights. They republican party took neutral to stay away. President Theodore Roosevelt wrote a letter going against the woman party because it will "take women away from home". This meant that women will stop doing there responsibilities as wives and mothers.

Secret Ballot

After establishment of  the Secret Ballot the voting turnout decreased to 50% by 1996 and has yet to recover. I think this decline has happen because people are no longer worried about a power knowing if they did or didn't vote.

Progressive Era

1. Progress to me is getting better in a certain area.

2. The Progressive Era was a period of great social activism and political reform across the United States, from the 1890s to the 1920.

3. All of the progressive reforms were made to eliminate problems from industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and corruption in the government.
