Recommended: The impact of propaganda

I think a quote from page 180 holds significance is reminiscent of the past and also can perhaps relate to current events. Therefore, this quote reads, "On a scarlet-draped platform an orator of the Inner Party, a small lean man with disproportionately long arms and a large, bald skull over which a few lank lock straggled, was haranguing the crowd." As it follows, I think this quote is significant because it represents the theme of people believing in propaganda and or maybe more accordingly with partial or illusory messages fueled by rants or tirades. Thus, I think this could be reminiscent of Adolf Hitler and how he had mass events where he would harangue the crowd with imagined ideologies. In addition to that, this quote is significant because

  • The Use Of Propaganda In 1984, By George Orwell

    1040 Words  | 3 Pages

    “"Propaganda is as powerful as heroin, it surreptitiously dissolves all capacity to think” by Gil Courtemanche connects to the sad fact of using propaganda as a deadly weapon to feed people with false information and stop them from thinking. George Orwell’s novel, 1984, describes a totalitarian dystopian society where the Party is constantly brainwashing its citizens with information that is beneficial to its own rights. On the opposite side, people are working for the party just like dominated slaves for their masters without knowing what’s going on. But, in order for the party to achieve this goal, they have to use different techniques of propaganda in Oceania to create fear for people so that they can obey the rules. The use of propaganda in the society of 1984 takes away freedom from individuals because of the absence of privacy, thinking and making decisions.

  • Michael Kimmel Gender Class And Terrorism Rhetorical Analysis

    Among these forms of support is the use of examples and the persuasive appeal to pathos. One way Kimmel uses pathos is when he discusses the backgrounds of Timothy McVeigh, Adolf Hitler, and Mohammed Atta; three men who, according to Kimmel, have something other than widespread destruction in common, this something is a feeling of emasculation and enervation, “What unites Atta, McVeigh, and Hitler is not their repressed sexual orientation but gender - - their masculinity, their sense of masculine entitlement and their thwarted ambitions (Kimmel par. 25).” Kimmel uses these three men’s backgrounds to make them appear more personable to the audience, as well as to revise the audience’s stereotypical beliefs about terrorists, creating a feeling of empathy towards these three terrorists from the audience that may not have been previously present, “Looking at these two men through the lens of gender may shed some light on both the method and the madness of the tragedies they wrought (Kimmel par. 7).” This quote gives a direct statement from Kimmel himself as he tries to gain understanding from the audience towards the men he is writing about, showing how Kimmel is looking for the audience to perceive these men’s acts of terror in sequence with the circumstances of which they were derived. Kimmel continues to constrain the audience and

  • Coddling Of The American Mind Analysis

    The authors are using credentials and conclusions of someone to vouch for their argument. For example, Lukianoff and Haidt explain that public figures like “Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can’t take a joke”. By public figures explaining the relevance of college campuses and how attention must be increased strengthens the argument, because it is bringing attention to the issues of freedom of speech. Lukianoff and Haidt also provide examples of events being canceled, because of protests. Based on a TV commercial an event was canceled because the “’program [was] dividing people and would make for an uncomfortable and possibly unsafe environment’”. This example shows how many events, words, subjects, will cause discomfort to people causing them to be canceled. However, the examples provided shows how many people are missing out on positive learning experiences. By showing examples, it strengthens the argument by allowing the reader to realize campuses are harming students and their experiences to

  • Triumph of the Will: Nazi Propaganda Deconstructed

    1412 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of the Will, is an excellent propaganda film that has many images that are meant to inspire, encourage, and invigorate the German people to be reborn. The film was made in 1934 during the rise of Adolf Hitler as the fuhrer of Nazi Germany. Hitler rose from the rank of a corporal in the German army to an inmate in a German jail. Hitler, once released, used fascist propaganda to promote the Nazi party. The propaganda promised to restore Germany as an economic leader in Europe while improving the lives of the German citizen. This pretense of a better life for German people won Hitler the dictatorship of Germany. Triumph of the Will is a good example of how propaganda entices the masses into

    This collective whole is easily controlled and manipulated. Society has always been troubled by the idea of overpowering control. In George Orwell's 1984, humanity is dominated by an extreme government whose intent is to abolish all aspects of freedom. Orwell indicates that when subjected to mass propaganda and intimidation, the ignorant majority’s memory and concept of truth are distorted, making them extremely malleable and subservient. The Party employs slogans to convince the ignorant that what they want is what they already have.

  • Manipulation In Harrison Bergeron

    400 Words  | 1 Pages

    The consequences of not thinking for themselves is grave, as not only are citizens directly harmed, for example, two ballerinas fall to their knees in reaction to the noise, but people are also unable to revolt against the government, allowing the abuse of power to continue. In parallel, Vonnegut uses symbolism to show American’s failure to speak for themselves. Demonstrated in the story by the announcers on television who all have a significant presence in the media, this idea further represents the government’s manipulative power over the civilization. The media acts a voice for the people, and in this story, all the announcers have speech impediments, affecting the media’s ability to effectively communicate ideas, as “it [is not] clear at first as to what the bulletin[s are] about” (3). This fact demonstrates the disconnect between the truth and society, as citizens are unable to provide fellow Americans with the necessary information to speak up against the government. Once again, the effect is detrimental to society, considering the abuse of power does not cease. Vonnegut’s message relevant in many situations including the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and the protests against

  • The Dark Side of a Leader - Hitler

    1299 Words  | 3 Pages

    Leaders are often portrayed as heroes and role models, but there is also a darker side to being a leader. Adolph Hitler was one of the strongest leaders in the last 100 years, if not the strongest leader of all time. One man had the ability to lead a country, with a population of 20 million people, against the whole world in a vision he saw fit. One man leading Germany out of economic depression after previously being through World War I was an incredible feat. This is indeed what all leaders strive to be. Hitler is one of the best models for inspiring leaders. He exhibited some of the strongest qualities of being a leader, which included the following: vision, eloquence, charisma, strong will, and tyranny.

    In doing this, the Political Party is in complete control over the citizens’ minds, blasting what they want each individual to think (Orwell, 6). They psychologically stimulate each individuals mind, limiting their ability to think and have a mind of their own. In a similar way, Stalin’s created “The Poster” and The Pravda (the Russian newspaper controlled by the government during Joseph Stalin’s regime) to twist and manipulate the minds of people into believing that what they were saying was absolutely right and true. Using this power, Stalin and his regime would get people to do anything for them. (Basgen, 2010).
