What is the best central idea of the text below?
President Truman ordered MacArthur to stop at the 38th parallel, the original border between the two Koreas. He feared pushing farther would provoke China into joining the war. However, MacArthur's arrogance got the better of him. He believed China would not get involved and ordered his troops to continue pushing through North Korea all the way through to their border with China. This alarmed Mao and other Chinese leaders who saw this as an invasion of a communist land by a Western army, and thus took it as a threat to China itself. Urged by Stalin, China immediately ordered hundreds of thousands of troops into the war. UN forces were forced to retreat, and the fighting became horrendous for both sides. MacArthur wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons against China, but Truman refused. MacArthur additionally spoke out against Truman publicly about his decisions. Finally, Truman had enough and could no longer trust MacArthur. He fired MacArthur for insubordination. (The Human Odyssey, Vol. 3, p. 216).

PROJECT: PROPAGANDA


OBJECTIVES
Identify the use of propaganda used in World War I.
Before You Begin
World War I, originally called the Great War, employed a great deal of material that told partial truths but that helped to build nationalism and unify countries against one another. This was called propaganda. Posters, newspaper articles, speeches, signs, and slogans were developed to drive a message deep into the minds of people. Propaganda was aimed at emotions, and it was meant to rally people to join a particular cause. Think through ways that propaganda was used during World War I. Who used it? What were the messages? Whom did it target? Was it successful?

Directions
Using the image below, write an essay identifying and discussing the concept of propaganda.



Part One: Look at the image provided, and read the text on it. In an essay, discuss how it may have been used as a tool of propaganda during World War I. Think through and write about who might have published it, what they were trying to use it for, and what impact it may have had on the people viewing and reading it. Carefully consider what is going on in the poster and what kind of bias is involved. How do the images impact you? How does the text impact you? How might the image and text shape the way the French people would think of the German people (the Huns are the Germans)? How might the French government want the French people to think of Germans, in light of German nationalism? Do you think that still impacts people today?

Part Two: Imagine that you are part of the French government given the task of speaking to women who might encounter German businessmen. Write a short, persuasive argument that goes along with this image. In 200 words or less, write a speech that does what the propaganda of the poster intends. Then, give your speech to an audience.

Prompt
Use your imagination combined with factual information to really put yourself in the shoes of people who might have encountered, credited, or been the target of the image. Be certain to look over the unit assignments to get a good understanding of the context of the poster. Also, use library and Internet sources to get a better understanding of how propaganda was (and still is) used. Use an outline to build the structure of your speech, then fill it in with persuasive and appropriate language to drive your message of bias and propaganda home.
