Propaganda


I found this propaganda poster very amusing. So that people would start car-pooling and help save gas, the government tried to put fear into these people. During World War 2, everybody in America hated and feared Hitler. Knowing this and the need to save gas, the government created this war poster. The slogan is very straight forward and abrupt. They are trying to make people who drive alone feel bad and feel like they are against America. By joining a car club America would save gas for the military. During World War 2 everybody was scared and filled with fear. So by threatening people and putting fear into them, the people would most likely start Car-pooling and help America.
