Buy War Bonds Persuasive Speech

In order for them to support the war, the government used propaganda to evoke feelings of nationalism. While the United States joined the war as an opportunity to get revenge on Japan, propaganda was often censored to guarantee that Americans only saw the damage Japanese soldiers had done to Americans. To insure that Americans would not be put off and maintain the desire for war, images of dead Americans were prevented from being published to the public. (“Supporting Evidence”). Government officials knew that citizens were unable to withstand the gruesome photos taken of the realities of the war. Showing real images that featured the outcomes of war would have caused Americans to become disheartened thus decreasing American morale. To insure victory, the government enforced the use of censorship throughout the nation. In one propaganda poster, the caption reads “Let’s Censor Our Conversation About the War” (“Censored”). The propaganda poster revealed the extent of which the government kept a eye and ear to all American citizens as an attempt to preserve American loyalty. The government was able to use its political power to its full extent by withholding valuable pieces of information, which revealed the extent of its influence. “After…Pearl Harbor, most were convinced to support the war” (“World War II

An independent government agency known as The Committee on Public Information was formed as a way to influence the public’s opinion which they did by using propaganda. There are many different forms of propaganda and many of them were used in WWI which author Joseph Joe Kaminski further discusses in “World War I and Propaganda Poster Art: Comparing The United States and German Class”. The answer to getting the public’s attention was by using different tactics to intrigue citizens; “The use of propaganda art was essential in galvanizing opinions and reshaping ideas during WWI” (Kaminksi, 2). The goal of the United States was to “mobilize a nation, as well as create an army” (Telzrow, 1). Things such as songs, newspapers and art were used as a way to influence public opinion. The goal of propaganda was public unity. One example of propaganda would be a poster with the words “Come On! Buy more Liberty Bonds” pictured with a U.S. Soldier which can be seen in the “Committee on Public Information”. Liberty Bonds were just another way to help raise money for the Allies during the war. Purchasing these war bonds could be seen as a symbol of patriotic duty. President Woodrow Wilson also organized “Four Minute Men” who would deliver speeches promoting and encouraging involvement in the war effort. During World War I U.S. citizens were also influenced to do other things such as ration food so that there was extra food for those fighting in the growing army overseas. People also began to donate raw materials which went towards the making of new technologies that would be used in the war. Propaganda was used as a way to get the people of the United States involved in helping with war

“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. Similarly, propaganda came in many forms, as the TV was starting to make itself known in the 1930s. These numerous forms include political cartoons, posters, novels, comic books, movies, and cartoons. Furthermore, propaganda could be very specific

Propaganda was a ploy commonly used throughout history that deceived many with images deliberately created for people to carry out certain acts or believe in false ideas. Such is the poster depicting the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II under a massive, silver coin. The first world war had been taking a toll on the British economy. Britain was not prepared for the financial demands that war posed and as a result, an increased number of people were paying income tax and the British government decided upon taking the civilians’ money as well. On the other hand, in Germany, both civilians and soldiers were facing starvation due to German supply lines being cut off. The effect of this starvation is expressed by Paul Bäumer in All Quiet on the Western

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). Though

With the help of propaganda posters, artists were able to motivate Americans, young and old, to contribute to the role of the United States in the war. Posters often contained children smiling and holding a war bond, with certain words like, “Buy a War Bond today”, or, “Support our troops by buying a War Bond”. However, they didn’t have to involve children. One famous example is “Uncle Sam”, used a propaganda poster to help persuade people to sign up for the draft, was originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly this portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become--according to its creator, James Montgomery Flagg--"the most famous poster in the world." However, the U.S. wasn’t the only country to use

Passionate John Kerry, a vietnam veteran, in his speech, Vietnam Veterans Against the War Statement, to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 23, 1971, argues that the soldiers sent to Vietnam were told to do terrible things and that they were fighting for reasons they did not even know. Kerry supports his argument by implementing anaphora, utilizing a pronoun switch, applying rhetorical questions, appeals to logos through the use of statistics, quotes, and an anecdote, and appeals to pathos through imagery and powerful language. The author’s purpose is to depict to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations exactly what occurred in Vietnam and why they should be against the war too. The author writes in a belligerent tone for the Senate

War bonds are debt securities issued by a government to finance military operations and other expenditure in times of war. Buying a bond helped the U.S. government pay for food, ammunitions, weapons to fight in war. If citizens couldn’t fight in the war it was encouraged that they pay for war bonds with their hard earned money, 134 million Americans were asked to purchase war bonds to help fund the war. So they did and 85 million Americans purchased bonds totalling $185 billion. Once someone bought a war bond, after the war they would be paid with interest. (Doc A). The U.S. citizens buying a war bond coincides with the preamble goal of promote General Welfare and the core value of Morality and Humanitarianism. Promote General Welfare means elected officials concerns themselves with duty to provide for the basic needs of the citizenry and also to respond economic needs, social needs, and needs for entire nation to prosper to when necessary. The core value of Morality and Humanitarianism can be defined as Americans view world as right and wrong, and Americans believe in providing for the less fortunate. War Bonds go along with both of these because the Americans gave back to the soldiers and their needs to help the entire nation prosper as a whole. They also gave back to the soldiers who needed all this to protect

Source A is a propaganda and was created by Norma Lindsay for the Commonwealth Government of Australia in 1918. It was sourced by W.E Smith LTD. Sydney. This poster Depicts a group of armed German soldiers threatening a young man pinned against a water tank. The other victims in this scene include an elderly man in the foreground, who has been shot, an elderly woman on her knees pleading with their captors, and a young woman in a state of half-undress who is being restrained by two German soldiers in the background. The use of the words “Will you fight now or wait for THIS” were expressed almost as a threat, and used the word “you” to reach to every person’s mind. This source was created by the Australian Commonwealth Government who were part of the Triple Entente (Russia, Britain, France), who were fighting against the Germans. The motive of this poster was to encourage Australian men who were aged between 18-35 to enlist in the army. As conscription was voted against they weren’t able to force men to go enlist in the army. So this propaganda was one of the poster’s that would have encouraged men to enlist in the army. The intended audience of this propaganda were the civilians of Australia who were able to enlist in the army. This propaganda

I believe that the American flag needs to be respected no matter what your belief may be. I get protesting the government and all that, but the flag shows us the freedom we have to protest it. What did the flag do to? Nothing, it just shows we have freedom in this country that other countries don’t have. In any other country they could get killed for stepping on their currency or touching their their flag in the wrong place.

The important item that goes along with propaganda is you have to have people to support it. During the war the U.S government waged a constant battle for the hearts

Yesterday, on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked us on our own soil. They violently assaulted the naval base, Pearl Harbor, bombing it, resulting in the destruction of multiple naval ships, and hundreds upon thousands of deaths and casualties. This defiance against peace will not go unattended, one way or another this will result in war, if it wasn’t already so. Fellow Americans, rise up and rebel against this, and all future opposition than would even dare think of offending our great nation.

Propaganda posters first appeared during WW1 (1914-18) when governments decided it was important to show their engagement with the public, it was also a method of enlisting men and selling war bonds in order to finance the military campaign. It was a time of war and this meant that advertising was used to attract war workers, volunteers and soldiers. One of the most notable posters was in 1914, which was an image of the Minister of War in the England with a steely gaze pointing his finger in an attempt to urge young men to enlist in the army. Every other country in the war then seemed to follow suite and use the exact same propaganda approach. In Germany a Reich soldier, pointing his finger patriotically or an Italian soldier doing the same.
