Are we as gullible and susceptible to propaganda today as the public was during WWII? Come and participate in the presentation and decide for yourself.
Travel back in time – before iPhones, Internet, or Cable TV – to the 1940s. We’ll review various types of propaganda techniques. Then we’ll observe 75 – year-old magazine and newspaper ads to see how advertisers stretched, twisted, and manipulated the truth to sell their products. Are we as gullible and susceptible to propaganda today as the public was during WWII? Come and participate in the presentation and decide for yourself.
