Youtube Video Summarization.

During the last fifty years many articles, ads, and commercials have been used to sway the minds of the population.  In this blog there are four videos.  The first video is about the 2008 Presidential election.  This ad was promoted by the Barack Obama foundation to sway the democratic voters not to vote for Hillary Clinton.  This commercial shows viewers that when she is in power we are like mindless zombies that do nothing but listen and follow her.

Furthermore, the next three videos are form the World War II era.  The first video is from the Nazis, the second is from the Soviets, and the third is from the Americans.  In the Nazi video, the prime purpose of this was to persuade the viewers to give more help to the Nazi Power by helping them with the demand for weapons/ ammunition.  The Soviet propaganda shows viewers how Hitler and the Nazi Power were nothing but bloodthirsty sharks who wanted nothing more than to destroy.  It was also saying that all he wants to do is take everything for himself; land, food, goods, etc.  The American propaganda was used to persuade the public to give up more money.  Taxes were collected from the American people because it was said that loose money was burning a hole in pockets when they could have been used to purchase and make more weapons and ammunition and to help out the American soldiers oversea.  Saving money to give to the government meant a faster victory for Allied powers.
