Another example of why showing wartime violence is bad would have to be videos ISIS takes of themselves killing other people.

Those videos make it to the news channels and the news channels get it to the whole world which then erupts a panic in the world.

There was a variety of ways that American society realized that war was not a fight that the soldiers should not have been there in the first place. Because of the new modern-age televisions, many people and families could see soldiers interviewed in the middle of battle and even killed. The Tet Offensive was one of the main turning points in the war because of the media coverage, because there were traumatic images being shown all across the country, which made the people realize that they should not have been part of this war by showing that more U.S. soldiers were being killed than we could replace. There were many news reporters that were in the jungles of enemy territory (“Media”). These men were not supposed to record the battles themselves, just the “body counts” of how many enemies the troops had killed that day.
(Doc.B) in the Assad Regime they sent shiba, most of them being Alawites, there was an incident where same shiba were killed. The shiba got enraged killing a few Sunnis. It shows that favoring one group over another will cause disagreement which will turn into violence.(Doc. C) The pro-government is fighting every opposing group which shows how much violence and deaths they are causing, but one of the Islamic groups, ISIS is also heavy fighting everyone.(Doc.
Violence did not need to be performed for the advocate to get their point across. Ghandi states “No country has ever become, or will ever become, happy through the victory in war. A nation does not rise that way, it only falls further.” (Gandhi 377). He simply wants his followers to know that war does not bring happiness.
Usually, people supported the war because propaganda allowed them to believe that war was worth fighting for. Some examples include: convincing people to go to war, unification of the nation, conserving food, buying bonds, and more.
In war, there is no clarity, no sense of definite, everything swirls and mixes together. In Tim O’Brien’s novel named “The Things They Carried”, the author blurs the lines between the concepts like ugliness and beauty to show how the war has the potential to blend even the most contrary concepts into one another. “How to Tell a True War Story” is a chapter where the reader encounters one of the most horrible images and the beautiful descriptions of the nature at the same time. This juxtaposition helps to heighten the blurry lines between concepts during war. War photography has the power to imprint a strong image in the reader’s mind as it captures images from an unimaginable world full of violence, fear and sometimes beauty.
In Jon Hooten's editorial "fighting Words: The War Over Language," he argues that we relate almost everything to war subconsciously. We are unwillingly more attracted to things associated with war because they bring excitement to the topic. It if for this reason why I agree with Hooten's argument. In the article, he writes:"Our popular culture thinks nothing of invoking the language of conflict to describe most any topic. "This is relatable to almost anything on social media.
war propaganda persuades people by using emotional appeal, or pathos to demonize the enemies. Vilify infamy figure such as Hitler is an emotional appeal toward soldier, parents, and kids. According to a war propaganda"Our Carelessness Their Secret Weapon". The propaganda display two infamous figures smile with the burning forest in the background.
When the public is informed about the shortcomings of war, rarely are they shown lavishly graphic imagery, unless one has personally sought it out. This probable notion of censorship is the issue raised by Torie Rose Deghett in the article “The War Photo No One Would Publish”. Deghett introduces the reader to a potentially unfamiliar and graphic image taken during the Gulf War by photographer Kenneth Jarecke. The mere description of this image is distressing and leads to Deghett’s main argument, where she questions if broadcasting images of this nature are necessary in order to keep the public informed. Throughout the piece, Daghett appears mainly in favor of allowing these images to be present in the media, throughout describing how the
A leading 19th century psychologist named William James stated this about propaganda: "There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it”. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. This is evident in the televised premature ending of the Montag’s chase and in the symbolism of 451 by the government in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. However, in our world propaganda has been used to unite a country through targeted mass persuasion. This is seen in two classic U.S propaganda posters that encourage U.S citizens to join the army: “I want you”(index 1) and “Remember Dec. 7th” (index 2).
Specifically how the horrifying images brought American citizens to protest in the form of sit-ins and marches. These actions effectively pressuring the government to end the war. Therefore by shielding the public from images such as the photo first described the opportunity to possibly end the war sooner was taken away.

That by the media conforming to the “video-game” narrative of the war they went against their own purpose

To every war, there is the triumphed and the defeated. Each side walks away with a drastically different outlook on what has occurred. By only hearing one side, individuals are there by limited and constricted to a less knowledgeable idea of the truth.
According to Nordstrom, violence takes on (more than two, but not a lot of) different forms, which should be admitted/recognized/responded to (64). Nordstrom goes on to explain the (something that continues from one extreme to the other) on which violence is placed to measure it's (seriousness/ level). To often than not, harm towards people not in the military during wars, which has increased throughout the years, is not seen as extreme, but rather a (sudden unplanned bad event/crash); where as, harm among soldiers is far more concerning (58).
A reporter once said that as people looked at photos they would sometimes see their son, husband, wife or loved one dead in the battle field ("Matthew Brady Photographer"). Seeing a deceased loved one is difficult, but seeing their lifeless body in a picture is even harder. Having photos taken showed the people that the war needed to end and that no one else needed to
The 20th century labelled, “the most violent century in human history” (golding). To explain the violence of the 20th century if one must look at all events of the intentionally harm done to others.
