It makes sense, since alot of them have publically announced their disdain and uncaring adittude towrads the wellbeing of our planet... even going as far as saying that climate change doesn't exist at all.

Suggestion: Obama is telling potential voters that he will restore and bring hope to make the United States better as president.

Questions: How exactly is he bringing hope to his campaign?

Change: This is propaganda to encourage you vote for him by saying that doing so will make America a greater place to live. He's promising hope.

Our group found examples of the Activate Emotion technique where posts used dramatic words and images to create strong reactions instead of giving full facts. The titles and pictures made situations look extreme and raised questions about context. These messages push people to react quickly and emotionally. We shared our examples and notes on Padlet and read other groups’ posts too.

This piece of propaganda rrally stood out to me because the American flag is emphazized and is behind these White americans. The images suggests clearly who is welcome to the American Dream, white americans. I wonder why this piece of propaganda is only targeted for white americans instad of other races and identities when this is known as 'the land of opportunity," yet they only include white americans, so there is a lack of diversity. This propaganda suggests that American government wants to go back to a time where Americans have jobs and have freedom for 'all.'

This is a more disguised piece of propaganda in where a survey was sent out asking for your opinions. This propagandas main message is that the presidential candidate Donald Trump will 'save america.' seeing this. What also stands out to me is that the text above it says "Trump needs YOU..." which reminded me a lot about the WW1 USA propaganda whith the picture of uncle Sam pointing and saying "I want you for the U.S. Army" This raises the question of what will this candidate do to 'save america?" and will it be effective for everyone? This propaganda declares change in America to make it 'better.'

1) The message suggests that Jews need help, that we must show that we care. Antisemitism is real, but it oversimplifies this idea because it doesn’t explain how and the timing of the video was during the Super bowl, I actually watched this advertisement when it came up yesterday. It’s a bit insensitive to other problems that are also going on today, like the ICE raids that are taking peoples lives, taking them from their families as we speak. A blue sticky note representing that you care about Jewish people also won’t help with the antisemitism that they face.

2) It’s saying that we must take action to help Jewish people

3) I also believe there’s a lot of propaganda because the only person of color in that advertisement was a black kid, and he was the only one who saw the Jewish kids note and wanted to help. Whenever there’s a cause going on, a lot of companies end up exploiting and looking to black people to use them as the source of encouragement and action. Although there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, the constant pressure that black people have to “fix” other minorities problems can be harmful. It’s the bandwagon effect.

The text in the image says "Don't get a rotten apple. Trust what's inside android." The image shows a shadow of a hand reaching for a rotten apple with a bite taken out of it. The point of the image is to convince viewers to buy android, as opposed to apple, by comparing apple products to rotten apples, which people know are bad to eat. The viewer will make the connection in their mind that rotten apples are bad to eat, so buying apple products must also be bad.
