EOTO Part 1: Propaganda

Image
Propaganda- information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Propaganda is usually used by governments of the world to advance their agenda. It can be a positive agenda or it can be negative or neutral. There are a lot of examples of propaganda in history. A huge piece of propaganda in the United States’ history was during WWII, the Rosie the Riveter poster where she says “We Can Do It!” This is an example of positive propaganda since most of the men were off at war fighting the Japanese and the Germans. The message is there to motivate women to step up and work in factories and farms and for them to have a bigger role in society during the war. The women can work as well as men mentality stuck around after the war and this started the rise of women in the workplace instead of solely being stay at home moms. Another example of propaganda was created by Disney. It was an anti-Nazi propagand...

Final Blog Post: Technology

The black and white music video about how addicted we have become to technology really resonated with me. I agree that people around the world have become addicted to using our cell phones. We get little doses of dopamine each time we get a notification on our phones. The article said that because of this, we get addicted to our phones.

Week 11: Values of Expression, Check on Government power

Image
The United States Government was created to have checks and balances on itself so that it does not ever become tyrannical. Those checks and balances were made in the three branches of our government. It includes the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. Through our country’s history there has been attacks on our rights given to us through our amendments to the Constitution. One that comes to mind is during the American Civil War, people weren’t allowed to speak their mind very much whatsoever. The government would arrest the press for speaking out against the government. The United States Government does have checks and balances on itself, but they do not always keep themselves accountable. There is another area that keeps the government accountable. That area would be the American people. As I stated above, the US government would arrest Americans for speaking their mind in the Civil War. You could say that they have tried to suppress the people’s voices in other times i...
