Radio Advertisment 1930's

While doing my research I learned that the use of the radio boomed during the 1930’s. Advertisements became very common and popular during this time and most of the advertising included household cleaning items, food brands, and general goods. One thing that I  learned was that music was used a lot in these advertisements and brands such as coca cola began using popular music and themes in their advertisements on the radio. Another common advertisement in this time period included the use of celebrities and actresses and they would mainly be promoting weight loss and dieting or promoting a item or event such as Colgate toothpaste and Sporting events.

1920's Speech

James Webster

History speech

I pledge

American society in the 1920’s was filled with prosperity and expansion. The change and expansion was beneficial for the country but also brought many problems and controversies to the U.S.  Immigration, economics, race, religion, and sciences made up a large portion of these problems and advances during the new era.

Immigration held many problems during the 1920’s, similar to the challenges faced in the U.S today with immigration. Throughout the 1920’s many “old stock Americans” associated immigration with radicalism and this became a popular and diverse topic within this time period. The problem resulted in acts, such as The Emergency Immigration act to be made to limit the number of immigrants into the Country.

The U.S faced immense growth during the 1920’s and in my opinion the most beneficial was the economic growth. Many families benefited from this and the jobs and opportunities available were much better than they had been before. Wages and working conditions had been much improved during the new era making working more personal and pleasurable for the society.

Race and religion played a large role in the 1920’s. Problems with racial differences were evident during this time period and groups such as the Ku klux Klan were formed making it a hostile subject. Following the problems with race there were many arguments and problems with religion. The diverse beliefs that now flourished the U.S. caused these problems and the traditional ways of the U.S were being tested and altered. As a result of this a new group known as the fundamentalist were formed and they questioned the traditional beliefs of Americans and focused their attention to science and new discoveries that consisted of proof.

 Overall immigration, economics, race, religion, and science had a huge impact on America in the 1920’s and these topics are still very important to the American society today.

Propaganda Poster Analysis

• The way that I would describe propaganda would be advertisement for politics and war in the late 19th century to early 20th century, mainly used for the army drafts and politics.
• According to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda, the definition of propaganda is "Ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; also :a public action having such an effect"

• The first poster in set one is titled " Wake up, America! Civilization Calls Every Man, Women, and Child" I believe that this poster is representing either a political campaign or the war. The woman on the poster is dressed in red, white, and blue and is depicted as sleeping. There is a white column in the background making it look almost like the white house. The poster uses the painting of the woman as the focus point and places the words on the top and bottom of the poster making the reader look at the entire poster.

• The second poster is titled "Destroy This Mad Brute, Enlist", this poster is advertising for men to join the army. The mad ape in the poster represents the opposing countries that are battling the U.S, and the women it is holding represents the American girl that is being taken and mistreated due to these opposing countries. The ape is most likely in the poster because during this time period the opposing countries people were commonly known as savages. The bat that the ape is holding has "Kulture" written on it and I feel that this is because the army wanted the people to believe that the opposing countries culture was very scary. 
• The third poster is titled "Beat Back The Hun With Liberty Bonds" and is representing the use of liberty bonds. The poster has a angry looking warrior from somewhere in asia in it and he has blood on his knife. The poster is most likely advertising liberty bonds and it is trying to say that if liberty bonds are bought then the citizens will be safe.
