Propaganda

My definition of Propaganda-The distribution of bias information

Propaganda-ideas or statements that are often false or exaggerated and that are spread in order to help a cause, a political leader, a government, etc. From: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda

The first image shows a nurse with a kid with fighting in the background. I think this image is trying to show that women can help during war and that it is not that dangerous for them. The little kid being there and not being scared shows that it is safe. On the poster it says "our greatest mother," i think this is trying to show how helpful nurses are during war.

The second image is a nurse walking through a door. The top of the poster says "be a trained nurse," this is trying to get people to want to train to be a nurse. The door that the woman is opening says opportunity on it to show that this is a big opportunity for women and they should take advantage of it.

The third image shows a woman in what looks to be like a communication room. She is most likely sending messages to different parts of the battle field. The room she is in seem to have soldiers surrounding her like she is one of them, but at the same time it shows here in here communication box that is away from all the danger of war. I believe this poster is trying to show that communication  people are just as important as soldiers, and that it is not that dangerous of a job.

I think that propaganda is a very useful recruitment tool and that if used correctly it can have a very positive effect, but in many cases it can be too much. I support the use of some propaganda but not the use of too much of it.

The government knew they needed more people to join the military so they decided they needed to advertise using propaganda in order to reach more people.
