1. Propaganda is a form of advertisement that is made to be appealing to people in order to get them to join a cause or contribute in some way.
2. "Information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc." http://www.dictionary.com/browse/propaganda
3. a) America is in the form of a woman wearing a red, white, and blue dress with a blue and red hat covered in white stars. Big lettering at the top and bottom of the poster saying "WAKE UP, AMERICA!" and "CIVILIZATION CALLS EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD!". The womn has light skin with a dark background to focus on the woman. She's wearing makeup which helps focus on her face.
b) Germany is represented by a big angry gorilla holding a fainted woman in it's arms. It's holding a bat that says "Kuktur" which refers to Germany and their culture. The gorilla's face is brighter than the rest of it which draws your attention. It's wearing a German soldier helmet. It's standing on land with America written on it. It says "DESTROY THIS MAD BRUTE" across the top and says "ENLIST U.S. ARMY" across the bottom.
c) The background is a big ominous German soldier looking over a destroyed city with blood dripping from it's hand and gun. He has green eyes. It says "Beat back the HUN with LIBERTY BONDS" with "HUN" written in bold red. There's a body of water in front of the soldier.
4. a) The artist wanted to make viewers seem like they aren't doing enough or helping so they would strive to serve their country and contribute to the fight.
b) This artist wanted people to see Germany as this imposing monster that needed to be destroyed. The helpless innocent woman in it's arms shows that we need to help an destroy the monster.
c) It shows Germans as an impending monster or demon that is bloodthirsty and coming or them. It makes people thin that liberty bonds will save them an beat the Huns.
5. a) This poster is meant for anyone who sees it as stated at the bottom of the poster,"Every man, woman, an child" Its meant to make people feel like they aren't aware or doing enough for the cause.
b) This is aimed towards men able to enlist to oin the army. It dramatizes the impending threat of Germany so they will fight it.
c) This poster is for adults, male or female, to buy liberty bonds and lets them know that you can still help the cause without actually enlisting.
6. I feel like advertising for the war was important because it informed more people of the dangers and how they could help, but the exaggeration in some of them and misleading images they depicted should have been restricted.
7. I think the government felt that propaganda was necessary because it was the most influential way of getting citizens to help fight the war. Since America wasn't fully prepared for this world war they needed all the help they could get and they believed that propaganda was the best if not the only way to achieve their goals.
