ETERNAL VIGILANCE

Jie Cheng: You may wonder what the word propaganda means. Propaganda is an official government communications that is publisize to the public to influence people’s opinion and emotions towards the other party. Which is brain washing the viewer. The information shown is mostly biased or one-sided. The information is always purposely being spread to help or harm the other party. Propaganda can appear in many forms such as poster and videos.

Nissa(talk while the background is showing the cartoon): As what Jie Cheng said previously, propaganda appears in a form of Video too. One of them is cartoon propaganda. Let me show you one example. Blitz Wolf is an early anti-German World War II cartoon produced in 1942 and directed by Tex Avery. This is another version of the 3 little pigs where the evil wolf is represent by Adolf Hitler. In this cartoon the Wolf
The pigs are defending themselves from the wolf but the sign here says that no Japs allowed thus it shows tyat the wolf show the jap and german are both enermies of the amercans.
This scene shows the wolf in a makeshift tank and has to carry his tank sometimes. The wolf is also shown wearing a lace petticoat which is usually worn by females. Hence, the wolf is seen to be as weak, incompetent, and powerless against the more powerful and smarter americans.

Poster no 1
Min Wen: Let me share about this propaganda poster. This propaganda poster was published during WW2 by the Japanese and the message to the viewers is “welcome to my world” (point to the top) . This means that the japanese is welcoming the other countries to live with them. Each country is represented by children from different countries.The Japanese want people to know that they will bring harmony.
