Analyzing Visual Images

Describe what you see in the picture. Consider color, placement, people and objects, and composition. Everything that you see.

In the picture, I see family who are happy and celebrating. The color is just black and white. I see that the family are happy with together and there is a young girl who is holding a doll with a smile. And I think they post this poster, because, they want to describe their citizens how their nations are healthy and happy when they join the Nazi party.

Interpret: Guess about the creator is trying to express through the caption and images. Why is this message being conveyed?
Evaluate: What is the intended purpose of this image? The intended audience? Does the image achieve its purpose?

I think the creator post this photo especially for posting it for party votes, because this image is about family and happiness, and I think that's what Germany wants, to be happy with peace. This image also tells to make a happy family, a wife, kids, etc. And this would have a lot of people to join the party who created this image.

Today we studied some of the aspects of propaganda and its uses, particularly in regard to Nazi Germany. First of all, answer this question: What is the definition of the wordpropaganda? Next, why was it used so extensively by Hitler and the Nazis?

Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Hitler was posting a lot of posters, and with the announcement he made to bring the people to join him, but the Nazis were also giving a responsible laws to join them, and they were also posting more posters.

Where do they stand?

The person we read was Elisabeth von Kohler. She was a strong sense of German traditions. She would like to see the republic lead a democratic Europe. Her sense of justice is even more outraged by the way the Allies, particularly France. And she is also proud to be an attorney and a German woman in the Weimar Republic. We think that Kohler would join Social Democratic Party Platform, because it's laws says that it will support the present German republic so that freedom, democracy, and justice will live in the hearts of our German countrymen, and that is what she wants. I think there would be less people who would join her, because, she is to straightforward like men.

Adolf Hitler

• Adolf Hitler was among those veterans who struggled to find a place for themselves in 1919.
  
• Hitler, in particular, wanted to distinguish himself.
• Born in 1889 in a small Austrian town, he was one of six children, four of whom died in childhood. His father died when he was fourteen and he lost his mother a few years later. By then Hitler had left school with little more than an eighth- grade education and dreams of becoming an artist.
• When the war began, Hitler was a drifter struggling.
  

8 and 10 are unfair because 8 is giving excuses for foreigner peoples because some made their home at Germany, but they need to move on and waste their savings to move another country. And some foreigners might have their family and friends who are Germans, and they need be separated from them. 10 is also unfair because the foreigners would not know German languages, so they don't know what is happening in Germany.

If they have 2 nationality, do you need to leave after August 2, 1914?

I would have said that leave that person alone, because, he would gotten hurt by the gang and would do something worse to him.

Religions Field Trip Reflection

This Hindu temple called 'Sri Mahamariamman', and the place is really wide and big, and I think it is almost bigger than the mosque. The Hindu temple looks a lot more creative than the Buddhist temple and the mosque, because Hindu temple have a lot sculptures, and it is really creative and talented pattern. I could just imagine how hard they created the pattern of the tower that looks like a pyramid. It have a lot of decoration inside, and it is also crowded. I think Hindu is close to Buddhist and Islam, because, Buddhist have a lot of creation, and Islam, they need to wash their hands, elbow, mouth, hair, legs. But Hindu is close because they need to wash their feet before entering the temple, and it is same as Islam.

This temple is really creative with a lot patterns, but the place is small. I could see that there are two ancient looking guards, two golden dragon, and a lion statue. In this photo, the Buddhist temple have a lot of red color, but when we went inside, it have a lot of decorations. Buddhist temple is almost similar to Hindu temple, because both of the temple are creative and almost colorful. It also have a lot of pattern.
The mosque looks like a quiet and a sacred looking place. When I took this picture, I can't see a person, except tall trees and the mosque. Although it looks quiet, but the building is wide and big. I could also see that there are a lot of door patterns, and 2 tall towers. What I think that mosque is not really similar as the other temple, because it is not really colorful, but the patterns are nice, almost similar to the Hindu temple and Buddhist temple.

Hindu temple and Buddhist temple uses fire to pray or to use for something, and they use sculpture to describe their Gods, but Islam doesn't use sculpture and fire, but they use water to clean themselves, and it is same as the Hindu. Hindu temple is similar to Buddhist temple and Islam. But Islam is a little different than the two temples, because, they don't have sculpture, they have a big place. They pray in front of a sacred scripts which was hanging on the wall. And Islam people wash themselves in a different way. First they clean their hands until the elbow, then the mouth, face, ear, hair, and then legs. Islam place looks like a quiet place, like sacred and the place was also wide and big compared from the two temples. But Hindu temples is a lot bigger than the Buddhist. Hindu believes that there are a lot of different kinds of Gods, that can reincarnate, guide you, help you, giving you a good luck or bad luck, etc. Islam believes that when they do a good deed, they would have no harm from the Gods. Buddhist believes that when you do a good deeds, there is a God that send you a happy place when you died, but if you do a bad deeds, there is a devil that would keep your bad spirits away. I like all of them because they were really interesting! I learned many things about it, and it was fun! I love to see the places, the decorations that they made, how they build it, what they believed, what they need to do, and their festivals.

If you disagree with a rule,law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent then to speak out and risk punishment: I would think that you could speak out first on the right time, if there are a lot of people who votes to disagree with laws, then you have a bigger chance of not risking your life. And if you have a bigger people who votes for you, the laws would change into better life, and you wouldn't suffer any laws, rule, or public policy.
