US during Cold War

 * Pinpointing the enemy:** This image is an example of pinpointing the enemy propaganda. This picture simplfies the complex situation by presenting Sam on the boat to represent the USA and the headstones on the iceberg to represent the communist countries. The headstones in the picture are communist countries which are the enemy's. The boat with Sam in it is getting blocked by the headstones (the enemy's) because they are in the way and the problem. This picture states that the communist countries are the bad guys and that they are the problem.



USSR during the Cold War

 * Simplification:** This image is an example of simplification propoganda.This technique of propoganda was used to sway uneducated audiences. It shows the stork dropping the baby, and then the US Air Force dropping a bomb. They used simple objects like the stork, baby, bomb and US Air craft to show what was good and what was evil.

Modern day propaganda

 * Assertion:** This image is an example of assertion propoganda. This technique of propoganda usually has an enthusiastic statement presented as a fact. Assertion is often found in modern day advertising. For example this image of the McDonalds sign and slogan "I'm Lovin' it" is the enthusiastic statement. There is no evidence that your "lovin" it. You are supposed to accept this slogan as a fact, but there are plenty of people that despise McDonalds and don't love it.
