Propaganda


[warmup]
Today we'll be looking at how nations of both sides of World War II used propaganda to influence people. To get us thinking about theses kinds of influences answer the following questions:

What is your favorite company or brand?
What do they sell or do?
Why is it your favorite?
What commercials do they have?
How else have you heard of them?

  2. My favorite brand is Mudd. They sell clothes, shoes, watches, and jewelery. It is my favorite, because they have a lot of camouflage clothes. They don't have any commercials for it unless you count magazines. I heard of them by going to the store and seeing them.

  3. My favorite company is ARotta Love Plus which is a rescue center for pit bulls and Rottweilers. They foster the dogs out until to dogs can get long term homes for life. I have bought a calendar from them, and I also hope to soon adopt a dog from them! :D

  5. My favorite company is target
    Target sells a variety of clothes and snacks.
    It's my favorite company because they provide everything I need. They have plenty of commercials and advertisements that aren't that good, but get the point across.

  8. i don't think that i have a favorite band because I like wear everything but some thing i wear i don't like I only wear if i don't have anything i will just wear it. But most if all I like is nike they sell shoes. I reason why I like them is because I like how they design shoes.

  9. I don't have a favorite brand really. I like things but they aren't often advertised, it's something I have to look up, like Metal Mulisha, and dolls. But only one of those is a brand, and that brand doesn't do much advertising in the normal places. I suppose there are different brands of dolls, but again, I have to look them up. Metal Mulisha sells clothes and other stuff.

  10. .... I don't really have any favorite company or brand. I buy... What's the cheapest, and lasts the longest in it's cheapery.
    BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHO I HATE THE MOST.
    4Kids.
    I hate 4Kids. Especially since they censor everything worth looking at. And maybe 89% of their dubbing is so terrifyingly retarded it would make the smallest of children cry. Cry, Mr. Hannan, all of them. At the same time. They have those stupid f------ internet commercials that have SOUND. And whenever I watch an anime they HAVE to have some stupid thing in the corner of the screen, proclaiming in a loud, stupid ass watermark that it BELONGS TO THEM. Making ripping super hard, because you need to get rid of that dumb watermark first.... AND JESUS THE VOICE ACTING. Jesus. Nothing there. So emotionless.
    I've heard of them only through real life and the internet, when talking about anime.
