An example of ally propaganda is "Daffy-the Commando", which can be seen in the appendix as image reference three, a Looney Tunes character that was turned into a soldier. Daffy was a funny character that was never taken seriously by any of the other characters in Looney Tunes, and by taking a character such as Daffy invading Nazi territory with ease and mess around with a Nazi officer and soldiers. Following that, Daffy went flying out of a cannon and interrupted Hitler during a speech by hitting Hitler on the head with a wooden hammer. Once Hitler was hit by the hammer, Hitler started to cry like a baby, making a strong figure for the Nazis look so weak by getting hit and beginning to cry.

The news takes a story and use their creativity to word the story in such a way, that anyone can be seen as the bad person. To take a small situation and manipulate it into some enormous problem that needs to be addressed is something that happens all too often on social media and news sources. Trump and Kim Jong-un are two people that the media loves to discuss about. When the North Korean Supreme Leader had talked about a nuke in their possession that can potentially reach Hawaii, Trump backlashed by talking about the nukes and rockets the United States that can be launched. A cartoon illustrated by The Federalist Papers, shows president Trump facing off with Kim Jong-un with a bunch of war-heads facing Kim. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un only has one small rocket at North Korea's disposal. Even though president Trump can say that the United States is capable of winning in a pissing contest of who has a rocket that is bigger. The president should not use assets that the United States has to just to prove a point. Media already eats up anything that the president says and changes his words to create a story that will sell. "Fake news" is true to a certain point, because sometimes the media will alter stories so much that it will grab the attention of the reader. Getting only the truth from a media source is rare, because people will bias towards things to their liking compared to another
The Jungle was written as propaganda. Upton Sinclair’s purpose in The Jungle was to persuade the reader into believing that socialism was the best form of government.

“Propaganda is a monologue that is not looking for an answer, but an echo,” (W. H. Auden). World War II, like many other wars, was influenced by myriad of different variables. One variable that echoed throughout America was propaganda. Propaganda was a major influence in the rally for overall support in America during World War II. The propaganda’s intentions in World War II can be broken down into three major categories: war efforts, Anti-German and Anti-Japanese backing, and homefront endeavors.
During World War 2 (1939-1945), Japanese and American governments used media entities, specifically propaganda posters, as an artistic method that influenced their nation by heightening nationalism, and persuading their citizens to overture the opposition.

What makes one useful as a tool for the manipulation of billions worldwide? The answers to these questions lie in what propaganda really is. Propaganda is information used in a biased or misinformative nature that is used to promote a specific political institution or cause, and is focused on making the actions of one nation seem correct and moral, while the actions of the opposing nation(s) are viewed as savage and immoral. Censorship, or the restriction of information, is just as important as propaganda, which is the distribution of information, and both contribute toward the development of the national opinion that is to be shaped. In World War II, the German Joseph Goebbels was the head of propaganda for the Nazi German state, and managed to convince millions of people that mass genocide of Jews, Gypsies, gays, and millions of others was perfectly acceptable, and even divinely

We all have our opinion and views towards certain elements but do our surroundings really have an impact on our opinions?

In the early 1900’s European countries began competing and with that they were also building strong army’s and navy’s. After a while, the United States got involved and were in need of the people’s support. It took convincing but once people got on board with the idea of going to war, war fever in the United States was at an all-time high. The United Nations had not yet been established which meant conflicts were not getting resolved. This was unlike anything the U.S. had done before.
During this time, during World War Two, the Holocaust, Germany was full of Nazis attempting to “protect” the German race. Persecution and subjective judgment towards the Jews based on Germany’s leader, Hitler’s ideas continued to permeate throughout his land. No one could stop him, and why would anyone try to? A person of that kind of power is very controlling, manipulative and is unable to do it all by the honest truth. One cleverly disguises and skews the truth, or in other words, uses propaganda.

These films values focused heavily on the aspects of propaganda, and were used for indoctrination and education purposes, rather than the traditional use as being a form of entertainment.
