1) What parallels can you draw between this 1947 War Department propaganda and today's current political climate?
- Back then and even today we have problems with race and if you are a real American or not and this film relates back to that.
2) How effective do you think that this video would have been when it was first shown?
- I think that back in the day this would have been vary effective because no one really talked about that subject in that way. Everybody always talked badly about the other races during that time period and in the video they are trying to stop that so i feel like this video had a lot of talk because not everyone would agree with it.
3) How effective do you think that this video is when shown today?
- If you were to show this video in a movie theater today I feel like a lot of people would take it serious but most people would not pay attention to it because these kinds of things are talked about daily and everyone has heard it everyday. We see these types of things on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and so many other social medias that it becomes a part of our daily lives.
4) If there is a difference, what do you think accounts for it?
- I think the difference is the time period. In 1947 this video would have been very effective and today it would still be effective but not as effective.
