However, this meant that the public could have found the constant propaganda boring so might not listen to it as much. This was easily dealt with by putting light hearted entertainment (obviously still controlled by the government) on the radio and people would still listen to the propaganda as it was their only source of entertainment. By doing this, it made radio incredibly more effective because it meant that Nazi Propaganda could be delivered subconsciously to the German public through the entertainment. On the other hand, many people could argue that newspapers were the better form of mass indoctrination because of the creation of
How far do you agree that for the GDR the results of the building of the Berlin Wall proved to be mainly negative? The building of the Berlin Wall affected East Germany in numerous ways. Many could argue that the affects were mainly negative as it seemed to highlight the oppressive lifestyle scheme of the GDR in comparison to that of the FRG. Although it can also be argued that the building of the Berlin Wall was not at all negative as it is considered to have pushed occupants in order to make society more successful. Overall I think that the building of the Berlin Wall could actually have had a more positive effect.
Television Corrupting Presidential Debates Over the years television has been a great medium for entertaining audiences worldwide. Only entertainment though, has been good, not presidential debates. Nowadays these crucial and historical events are being broadcasted nationwide influencing people’s decisions. Although many people may believe that television is beneficial for presidential debates, I believe that television has had a negative influence on these fundamental discussions. These television broadcasts have not only influenced presidential debates, but have set new standards for them.
This social change helped fortify Labour power and influence upon British politics. Another Social Change that was made, that is seen as a success for Labour, was the abolition of the Death Penalty 1967. Roy Jenkins refused to authorise the beating of prisoners and brought in ‘majority’ verdicts for English juries rather than demanding unanimity. Although this helped convict many dangerous criminals, hanging being abolished did not significantly reduce the number of murders or violent crimes. Failures Labour during these time frames had a few disappointments; most significantly the internal divisions that had
For example as pointed out by Bushnell and Warren point out ‘The ‘color bar’ in public places were banned. This made illegal the under of restriction such as ‘no coloreds’ and Europeans only’ used be some landlord and employees.’ This shows that immigrants were starting to get accepted in society and there were people how wanted to reduce the discrimination that the immigrants had to face and wanted the immigrants to have a similar freedom to what they had. Furthermore, during the 1950s & 1960s when the economy prospered in Britain, immigrants were to enter Britain and were welcomed in a very nice way. ‘West Indian immigrants were welcome.’ ‘West Indian workers were actively recruited by both the government and private employers’, stated John D. Clarke working in the Government was a way of proving that the immigrants were clever and were able to complete jobs better then workers who were already in this country. This also can be interpreted that the West Indian works were responsible and hard-working, Working for the ‘NHS’ and ‘London
One predominant reason many backed Hitler and the Nazi’s was on the basis that they believed they could restore Germany to its former strong and internationally-dominant state. The German public liked the Nazi’s because they offered solutions to help regenerate the economy to a more stable and sustainable state (following the collapse of the economy during events such as the Wall Street Crash). Unemployment levels had plummeted from a whopping 6 million to a measly 500,000 and Hitler was offering the ‘Bread and Work’ scheme which offered those in need a chance at re-building their lives with the opportunity to make money again and obtain food. These opportunities benefitted many, therefore if they opposed the regime they would no longer get this help – and with so many in need, there were many who would not oppose their harsh ways simply because they needed the money, food, and better economy throughout Germany. Propaganda was also a large factor, which weakened the Nazi opposition.
Peaceful protests continuingly occurred in the years 1945-1960, but their effectiveness were limited and often did not make the striking impact they were designed to create. However, peaceful protests were effective in drawing public and media attention. Television pictures of police brutality against unarmed peaceful protesters did much to persuade the American public that segregation should end. However, such campaigns in Albany and others showed that the method did not guarantee success. The Greensboro sit-ins of 1960 are an example of successful peaceful protests.
After the Second World War the black civil rights have legally improved but the does not stop the white race stop being racist. There was still discrimination between the two races. As there are not immediate black officials the white ones continue to discriminate as there is no one to put them into prison. Legally the black race should be treated as equals by the white race. Laws were made after the war forbidding segregation and discrimination, but these laws were not carried out.
It's clear to see that Lord Liverpool's government between the years 1822 and 1827 was not in fact liberal, it was just the fact that the measures he took and the laws he passed merely seemed liberal to the general public, therefore he gained a good reputation from British citizens in the sense that a lot of the laws he passed such as the Gaols act were initially seen as liberal because of the fact that now female prisoners were guarded by female guards for the first time, however there were a few drawbacks to Peel's ideas which make it hard to view these reforms as entirely liberal. I believe that Liverpool had a good idea and good intentions to make the British economy become more stable after a poor economic situation, he also wanted to make the country more liberal in the sense that there will be more freedom and equality, however the way in which the laws and reforms were carried out were not necessarily as liberal as Liverpool had hoped. The Penal reform acts that Liverpool passed were initially seen as liberal, however it is possible to argue that there are several different limitations and factors that prove it to be not necessarily liberal. Initially, the idea of a reduction of transportable offences under the Gaols act, and also the reduction of the number of crimes punishable by death from around 200 to 20 makes Liverpool's government seem liberal due to the fact that it is giving the people of Great Britain more freedom and shows that the toleration across Britain is a lot more than it used to be. This Gaols act however was not necessarily new, as some people believe that it was based on campaigning from Fry and Howard several years before.
Political Correctness hasn’t gone far enough Today im here to talk to you about whether or not political correctness has gone far enough. There are a number of reasons why political correctness hasn’t gone far enough and it is because political correctness protects people that are from a different race, people who are seen different by society, such as disabled people and people’s religious beliefs. Political correctness breaks the barrier of putting people in different categories and instead people become one and they can respect each other’s differences without controversy. Firstly, I would like to argue the fact that people do not have the right to question and judge the identity others have created for themselves. Andrew Bolt, a writer to the Herald Sun writes, ‘Her father was Swiss, and her mother only part aboriginal.
