    During World War I, President Wilson established the Committee on Public Information (CPI), which was directed by George Creel and its main function was to promote the war effort via propaganda. One of the ways that they promoted the war effort was with the use of posters as seen above. These posters used various means of shaping the publics opinion about the war, who our enemy was, and our need to be involved. They also helped shape public support in recruitment, patriotism, and learning to sacrifice for ones country. As Clayton Funk argues in his article “Popular Culture, Art Education, and the Committee on Public Information During World War I, 1915-1919,” the CPI tried to romanticize the war to the American public instead of letting them know the real truth about the tragedies of war through outright censorship.

  • Propaganda During Ww2 Essay

    As stated by US Senator Hiram Johnson in 1918 “The first casualty when war comes is truth”, this statement is very accurate in the case of wartime propaganda. Propaganda aimed to promote the political views of the Australian Government, by intentionally communicating misleading and biased messages, through means of advertisements, newsreels and newspaper articles. Depictions of fresh-faced, happy airmen alongside shiny airforce planes, were used to encourage voluntary enlistment, when the reality for airforce men was far from the perfect veneer portrayed by Australian Government Propaganda. Airforce propaganda did not include statistics of the particularly high death tolls and other facts deemed undesirable by the Australian Department of Information (who published propaganda). Many of the propaganda posters would now be considered discriminatory due to their prejudicial and stereotypical representations of enemy soldiers.

    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).
