These photos give you the idea that they are caring, loving and just completely concerned for the well-being of the people. The use of propaganda was a big contributor to the success of both men. Since Hitler and Stalin were able to manipulate people with their propaganda, they could convince people of just about anything. This proves them to be amoral. Both would do whatever they thought was necessary to further their cause, with no remorse about what they had done.
The appeal to his logos is that he had been-----. Being a senator gave him the ethos needed. He really showed a lot of pathos especially when he was referring to his family and how racialism had effected families in America. His use of language was simple, he chose his words simple so even someone who wasn’t well educated can understand and comprehend. The organization of the speech flowed with each new point.
He then makes a joke about the government being best when governed least, and states that the government Bush has set up in Iraq is excellent by those standards. In between comments regarding President Bush, Colbert made small humorous quips about other subjects such as America, democracy, religion, and food. Throughout the entire speech, Colbert takes time to throw shots towards President Bush, and he also takes jabs at one of his typical subjects, Fox News. Many of his jokes and quips deal with not only President Bush, but also the government and government policies as a whole. Colbert also does this all in a way that ridicules the President while Bush does not even fully understand that Colbert makes fun of him, and this allows Colbert to get away with directly insulting the President to his face.
Ultimately, The Onion’s representation is an entirely accurate take on Michelle Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech. Every word that Michelle Obama uttered was carefully written out and planned. Her presence was used to make her husband appear more ‘human’ and help his poll numbers by fooling the audience into believing and trusting in her instead of the common lackluster politician. As The Onion mocks, “If all goes to plan…you will see my husband not only as a strong political leader, but also an everyday man who is trustworthy, honest, compassionate, and all the other bullshit you’d expect to hear” (Good Evening). Michelle Obama and her speech writing team intentionally used these strategies of emotional stories of their past and family to make the people relate to their seemingly ordinary, American family but because of her hidden agenda to re-elect her husband this
Another factor was his technique of not having specific policies. This meant that he would appeal to everyone and not just focus on gaining the votes of one particular group like other political parties of the day. A large factor in Hitler becoming Chancellor was his use of propaganda. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, produced a propaganda campaign that was very effective and it won invaluable support for the Nazis. This campaign targeted specific groups of society with different slogans and policies to win their support.
King was invited to lead the body which was coordinating the boycott, the Montgomery Improvement Association, so he was not responsible for creating and starting off this successful campaign, however his alluring personality and leadership skills helped motivate the campaign brilliantly. The success of the boycott and his charismatic approach led to King being brought to national attention for the first time. Many people found inspiration in his philosophy of non-violence and the tactics he used, putting pressure on the government to change the law. This was a clever methodology, as it gained large sympathy
Those pauses in his speech represented strength and the anger that American citizen had. President Franklin Deleon Roosevelt was well dressed in his speech, and his speech was well informed to the people on what happened in Pearl Harbor. His body language was great because he had good posture in front of congress on how he presented his speech. He had good eye contact with all the members in congress. His body movement was great he did enough movement to get Congress attention, make his speech more powerful meaningful.
It is used to bewilder and confuse the masses with aim to stop them from thinking for themselves. In the novel, Squealer is in charge of all Propaganda involving Napoleon (the corrupt leader’s) campaign. He is an excellent candidate for this position as he has magnificent language skills which he uses to persuade everyone that everything is for the best. In his short speech he uses six techniques to support and highlight the propaganda in process they are, selection of facts, lying, repetition, pinpointing the enemy, assertion of goals and rhetorical questions.4 The first technique, selection of facts, refers to a propagandist selecting only certain facts amongst a complex group of them to support his argument. This can clearly be seen when Squealer talks about apples and milk being necessary substances to the well-being of pigs and that the management of the farm depend on the pigs.
There were four essential factors that gave birth to Stalin's personality cult. Firstly, having full control of the media, such as any broadcasting networks and newspapers, he censored any ill-natured sentiments aimed at him. Stalin was very efficient in using propaganda. There was an abundance of posters and statues glorifying him with continuous praise. The principal of “word of mouth”, mothers taught their children that Stalin was 'the wisest man of the age'.
Perhaps my own personal opinion on the matter is why I fell in love with the show Curb Your Enthusiasm. In the show, Larry David (starring as himself), finds himself in several awkward situations because he follows a certain code of ethics and principles and challenges anyone who defies them. Larry may act stubbornly to prove his point, which causes the people he is confronting to react in an angry way, but his social codes are generally accepted by the show’s viewers as people tend to find that they could easily relate to them. For me, and several other fanatics of the show, Larry is brave for standing up for his beliefs. People wish they could be more like him, fearless to challenge those they feel act wrongly.
