March 26, 2009 Cold War Propaganda

This is American propaganda used during the Cold War and is an example of pinpointing the enemy. It pictures headstones of communist countries which classifies the whole group as "the enemy". The ship represents the United States which is steering towards the red (communist) ice burg, an obstacle in our countries path. This sends people the message that they should be against any communists because they are the problem. This propaganda was used in the USSR during the cold war and also pinpoints the enemy. The United States is represented by the man on the ladder and is shown falling off, knocked over by a bomb. This gives people the idea that the U.S. is the clear cut enemy. People in the USSR looking at this are targeted to view the United States as the enemy without considering any other factors. This advertisement is an example of propaganda that can be found in today's society. It is bandwagon propaganda because it makes you want to follow the crowd and join in on what other, and in this case successful people, are doing. It hints that in order to be amazing, inspiring, and your best, you must drink this gatorade. It also helps that Tiger Woods is pictured which makes you think that since Tiger drinks gatorade you should too.
