In this essay I will explain how the government used propaganda in the form of posters to mobilize their troops to sway the nations thoughts about the war during WW1.

Next came the “Public Law 135” in 1941, which gave the government power to investigate any worker suspected of being a “commie” and fire them.

This ideology was very effective because the American people were eager to fight for their country, to get rid of the communist threat, which was necessary during WWII. After WW2, Anti-Communism grew even more during the Cold War.

How does the Party exert its influence in this section of Nineteen Eighty-Four?

Thoreau’s feelings about being arrested were so strong that he decided to write Civil Disobedience in response. He delved into the key elements of the relationship between the government and its citizens. The political ideas in Civil Disobedience influenced Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, and Nelson Mandela through the principles of nonviolent revolution, effective disobedience to civil government, and the moral duty of the citizens of a state.Mohandas Gandhi, an Indian nationalist, fought for the independence of India from Great Britain. Gandhi read Civil Disobedience and integrated the concepts of opposing unjust laws with the intent of peaceful reform into his protests. Through his reading of philosophies from around the world, Gandhi came up with the principle of Satyagraha.
Many citizens mimic Wallace’s rhetorical tactics by appealing to individual and state freedom from the federal government, as well as his calls to religious appeals and the freedom blessed upon the great South by God himself. With the rise of the Cold War, the United States was placed in the middle of a global communist war, and any rhetoric that would paint the American people and government as a dark shadow of inequality would only counteract the efforts to disenfranchise communism around the world. The majority of the rhetoric, especially in the media, presented against the civil rights movement was carefully chosen to avoid being construed as directly racist. The media also helped persuade and guide the rhetoric that constituents, especially in the white south, used to engage with their state leaders, urging for a strong stance against the civil rights legislation. With the help and encouragement of Governor Wallace in August of 1963, the people of the South had the conviction and speech to voice their opposition without violating the preservation of the American image.

Brave New World should be studied in school because it is a satire that challenges technology, human emotions, and society as a whole.
