Examples of mass media (U6.3)

Hitler's propaganda
He made himself appear as the God appointed person to the German people. He arrived to a crowd in an airplane like he came from the heavens above. The people were spoon fed information about how dress, how to behave and how to act towards certain groups of people. He was very powerfully in the media industry. There were special parades in his honour and people were expected to do the Nazi solute every time he drove by.

World war one/two propaganda was very influential and getting people to actively serve their country, regardless of their moral compass. The way that the media represented the Nazis in WW2 gave people in Great Britain the impression that all Germans behaved the same way.
 

The British army wanted people to answer their country’s call and fight for what their believed in. The media would manipulate people’s minds so that what they believed matched with the governments ideas. In some way the media were trying to boots people's moral.
