Propaganda Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Anyone with a smattering of literary knowledge will perceive Apple’s ‘1984’ advert for their Macintosh computer, as simply a clever play on words – a play on an iconic image: the individual smashing the oppressor. However, it runs far deeper than that. The world of Dystopian literature is often based on very real human fears as a reaction to war, and it was given new life when the Nazis marched across Europe, thus invoking an image of tyranny, control and fear. The terror that gripped Europe during World War Two, meant that these three things because a very near-reality for millions of people and ...

Literature Review

Edson Tandoc (2014, pp. 559-560) used the term “twerking” to describe how journalism has shifted its norms in news judgment due to capital instability. Capital, as specified by Tandoc (2014, p. 562), comes in four main forms under field theory: economic, cultural, social and symbolic. Economic capital pertains to money-convertible assets and is typically regarded in journalism in the form of the audience, revenues in advertising and rates of news circulation. Cultural capital stands for the “possession of competence in a socially valued area” (Tandoc, 2014, p. 562), which is justified by mechanisms ...

In his 1994 book The Massacre at El Mozote, Mark Danner offers a clear description of the the massacre of hundreds of men, women and children by the El Salvadoran army, who were trained by American consultants and military advisors. He also provides excellent background and analysis of the political background that encouraged the massacre. At the time, the story of the massacre was covered-up, ignored or minimized by the right-wing anti-communist El Salvadoran and U.S. governments for political reasons. There were also practical diplomatic, communication and journalistic obstacles and mistakes which made the story ambiguous, opaque and hard to ...

Huxley describes a utopian society that has a high consumption of a drug referred to as soma. He describes soma as having ‘all the advantages of Christianity and alcohol’ and a ‘perfect drug’ which is relaxing, surreal and whose effects last for ten hours (Huxley 32). Any feeling that is not appealing is generally repressed by the soma drug which ensures that people are not able to effectively address the cause of their challenges. Huxley tries to enlighten readers through the soma drug the way people try to deal with their frustrations in their day-to-day personal experiences.

In the past, photography played major roles in both colonization and control. Various societies employed the use of photography as a means of communication. In the essay "The Work of Art in the age of Its Technological Reproducibility", Walter Benjamin tells us about the rise of Nazism and the Nazi propaganda in Germany between 1935 and 1936, where photography played a central role. By use of photography and moving images (cinema), Adolf Hitler could directly confront the masses. With this confrontation power, he was able to pass and spread his message. The message could be perceived differently: either nationalism or revolution ...

The domain of mass media or information technology opens up avenues of thoughts and perspectives with all the data that is shared among people of the society. However, while the boom in technology has led to a surge in communication, it needs to be noted that there are examples of the state machinery leaving no stone unturned to regulate dissemination of information so as to channelize the thoughts and perspectives of the general mass of the society in a particular manner in accordance with the ambition of the authority of the state.

Within our constitution we have the privilege of utilizing the first amendment. As American citizens, we are allowed to speak our minds on things that matter to us. In this paper, I will review the classic free speech case study of a student going against the desires of the reigning student administration with undesired results.

Through academic training, human interactions as well as work experience, people gain different sets of information that ultimately constitute their knowledge. However, even if this statement is universally true for all human beings, the extent to which the ways of gaining knowledge are used by each person is very relative. Following this premise, it is true to convey that information – and therefore knowledge – is asymmetrical, which further implies that the nature and the amount of knowledge possessed by every human being are different. In certain situations though, knowledge might carry an ethical responsibility, that is, the duty to prevent a ...
