Throughout history, America has created advertisements for different people and targeted events. Almost directly after World War II propaganda ended, Cold War propaganda began. That was mainly propaganda against the Soviet Union. Thus began the period known as The Scar scare, when mass hysteria reigned over communism. The government’s encouragement of this history has been formed in films, books, comics, and even taught in school.
Propaganda is known as negatively influential. It is characteristic of people to spread information (almost always exaggerated or even falsified) in order to invoke the favor of the people from the people. During the Cold War, both America and the Soviet Union used propaganda to make their populations hate their enemies and support their governments. It is important to know that the two countries advertise themselves through different media; America is often used by Hollywood and the media, while the Soviet Union prefers to show its military power to impress.
One of the results of the huge anti-communist propaganda spree in America was the persecution of many government workers and Hollywood. Senator Joe McCarthy was responsible for the extraction of many Soviet secret agents who were hiding in the American lumberyards, but he also cost many innocent lives. Some writers in Hollywood could not find it again as long as it was noted because of Senator McCarthy. In fact, when he talks about “McCarthyism”, he means that you accuse the man of “unjust politics”. (Bergen.org)
While Senator McCarthy argues that he is doing some good, whether or not it is the right way to address individual debates, he has hurt his own campaign so deeply. “The real Soviet spies were portraying themselves as victims of McCarthyism,” and so they were able to get some sympathy as people began to see McCarthy as ridiculous. (Bergen.org)
It was a new electronic treat in the television market. Black and white cost a fortune, but many have bought it. It was a new day for propaganda, which now had a new way of speaking to the people. Commercials about the products, while showing American consumers as perfect, helped hammer in the idea that the United States does nothing wrong Television shows featuring Native Americans riding horses overcoming the Americans, also believing that white Americans are superior, and therefore win any war with It would happen to the Soviet Union.
One of the staples of the media in America was old time radio. While not everyone could perform on television, almost everyone had a radio. It meant family time, when families gathered together to listen to the news or sat down after dinner to listen to their favorite radio station. It is said that the radio was the center of the room and people took special care to sprinkle it and put pictures of their loved ones on it. In the end, this was the way to a huge population. The United States government worked hard to create a perfect transmission. They pour a lot of money into other countries. Now we see that in 1948 they gave “nearly $10,000,000 to the Voice of America,” which was broadcast in the Philippines as well as parts of Japan and Germany. Radio stations We still know, as the voice of America, the spreaders of ““black” propaganda.” (piedmont communities)
People of all ages would escape to the theaters to escape the stress of everyday life. There, propaganda especially after Senator McCarthy’s rule began, he suddenly assumed a darker opinion, unless the Americans stood up for themselves and removed Communism once and for all American. It would be ideal in a way; in general, it is a dedication to the good that overcomes the bad. Some films are intended to be in the light of Communism poured a lot of money into these films, which made “communist threats”. Some of the classics of the time are “Comies Come!” kitsch, but at the time they were of great importance to the people. For they were taught in the school part of the curriculum. “The Red Dream” as part of “a standard curriculum in civics and history.” -movies”>James Bond series, still enjoyed today.
The letter was a cheap way for many people to consume advertising. Paperback novels, so-called non-fiction books, and comics have all been used as teaching methods. Dwarves about fictional heroes defeating anti-American (or Communist) threats were a big hit and usually sold very cheaply. These books are usually about a knight or a soldier who had to go against something terrible but always saved the day. The books were sometimes circulated around the ordinary citizen who was doing his American duties, and these were also big hits. Non-fiction books were highly fictionalized, or at least highly fictionalized. They were almost always about Communism and why it was bad, how it threatened America, and how the Soviets were lurking around every corner, just waiting to strike. Then there were the comedians. They were born naturally attached. Typically, the comic will be the hero and the action plot, anyway. And this comic twist of the comedians “This is tomorrow”, the Russians are shown “America to conquer and serve.” Naturally, this with Boy Scouts with Boy< stressful.
After the hysteria was entered, men accused one another, and asked whom to believe. People also asked who was capable of their jobs. In an article entitled "Communists Won't Teach in American Colleges," written by the President of the University of Washington, Seattle, Raymond Allen explains why Communists are not qualified to teach at the second level. He reasons that since Communists are not free to think their own thoughts, they are not free enough without the desire to teach. He concludes that they are "incompetent" because "communism is the enemy of American education." Many people have taken this substance, which has helped many people from their jobs. All this was done across the board; the people of all places would be accused of communism and avoided.
The Soviets were not pure from the propaganda that had been said before. They did radio, and there were books and movies. Soviet propaganda officials relied on mere display of military might, however. By frequently having great military parades, and constantly playing military tours, they were able to remind their population that they had an excellent and modern army, ready and prepared to crush any threat. Radio broadcasting was also heavily used, with Stalin speaking out strongly against Western interests and urging the Soviets to live for the good of the Communists. Citizens are often reminded of American atrocities, such as overindulging in food and not living in poverty. Americans are portrayed as racist, sexist, and cold to the rest of the world. They were also considered dangerous, as they were playing around with weapons. Stalin thought that the Americans were ignorant and ignorant, and that America would be undermined under him. Stalin's propaganda machines were actually much more direct than America's, but they were just as successful.
As we know, propaganda is still used today. They think they are better, and perhaps they are; or maybe it's just that hindsight is 20/20. We are all led in some way. Whether used politically, for war, or for consumption, there is a constant attack of propagandism. It's hard to say whether this level of propaganda can be compared to Cold War history, but here it is. We will always remember the Cold War as a time when no weapons were fired, and it was only a war of words and nations pitted against each other.
