Essay Map


There has been a great deal of research on the effects and results of propaganda on the public it is aimed towards, but i wish to specifically look at propaganda aimed towards children, and why it has been aimed at the young. I will cover:

-A work aimed at the hitler youth, what role it played in indoctrinating the children, and for what purpose it was created, this will be a schoolbook called der giftpilz.

- Something from america during the second world war, to analyse how the opposite side handled propaganda, and wether they had differing intentions for their work. This will be a disney work, Der Fuehrers Face.

- Finally something more modern, to see if the purpose of propaganda has changed and question what it takes for propaganda to be relevant when everybody understands and has a distain for it. For this i will use the Obama hope poster and on top of this....

- I will do research on the artist of Shepard Fairey himself, finding out why an artist that purely creates work that references propaganda is relevant and hip in the current timeframe.
