  1. Advertisements Persuasion, Propaganda, & the Portrayal of Men and Women

  2. Propaganda Information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. (www.dictionary.com)

  3. A form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. (www.wikipedia.com)

  4. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further an agenda.

  5. US Office for War Information poster implying that working less helped the Axis powers.

  6. Nazi Poster depicting American "liberators" as monster.

  9. Leaflet Bomb A form of psychological warfare that militaries use in foreign conflict to alter the behavior of people in enemy-controlled territory. Humanitarian air missions, in cooperation with leaflet propaganda, are also successful in turning civilians against enemy leadership while preparing them for the arrival of enemy troops.

  16. Beauty Industry Propaganda in Advertisements…what you are most familiar with.

  17. Girls and Women"Girls and teenagers are perhaps most vulnerable to beauty-industry propaganda. For them, advertising is a window into adult life, a lesson in what it means to be a woman. And lacking the sophistication of their older sisters and mothers, girls are less likely to distinguish between fact and advertising fiction."-- Michael F. Jacobsen/ Laurie Anne Mazur

  18. Girls, how do these ads make you feel?What negative consequences does the objectification of women in advertisements have on women and men? What must be done to convince people that the objectification of women has negative consequences for all of us?
