__3/26/09 Cold War Propaganda__ This video shows a day in the life of every type of person in America, such as teenagers, adults, and grandparents. It shows how since they have freedom and live in an anti-communist country they can do all these great things. This video is a bandwagon type of propaganda because bandwagon is meant to convince people that one side is the winning side because so many people are doing it and they love it. So in this video they are trying to show people that America has it right and everything they have is great.

In this picture Uncle Sam is in the middle of all the nuclear bomb switches while the Soviet Union is over the loudspeaker saying "Soviet Union offers to stop nuclear weapon tests". This is a form of bandwagon propaganda because in this picture the Soviet Union is trying to convince people that America is bad because they test nuclear weapons, and the Soviets are trying to get people on their side by saying that their way is right and America is doing the wrong thing. They are trying to say that you would be better off if you were with the Soviet Union.

In this video gatorade uses famous people such as Kevin Garnett and other famous sports players to advertise gatorade. The point of the video is to convince people that if you drink gatorade you will be as cool or as good a player as all these famous people. This is a form of assertion propaganda because they are claiming that gatorade is the best without any backup information. We are expected to just accept the fact that it is better than any other competing products without asking questions.
