Propaganda, the control of the mind


http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters/check.jpg
In this propaganda poster, Hitler tells us that the Nazi's are mmuch stronger than the kings (the queen or king) while the white piece is small and weak. They can only move forwards, but not backwards while the King or Queen (Nazi) can control the board and change the future since they can move any direction, changing the outcome. The Wording says

“Check the war-mongers of the world. Every vote for the Führer!”


In Kristalnacht, 1938, November 9th-10th. The very first attack to the Jews, this name which stands out to the Jewish people. On this day, many people had died, 275 destroyed synagogue, 75 businesses destroyed and looted, 1000 homes of Jewish people destroyed and looted, 30,000 Jewish people were sent to concentration camp and 100 killed. In the end, no one was to blame for all the millions of broken glass and destroyed homes. They destroyed synagogue's, their religion, their place to worship., soon 30,000 Jewish men and women were sent to camps. Kristalnacht was the warning, the small problem.

Kristalnacht was name because of the millions of sharded glass on the floor, destroyed by the Nazi. Goebell, the ministry of propaganda, ended the invasion toward the 10th of November. Adolf Hitler, as soon he became to power he made many poster of fat, low class, and many negative thought about the Jews, Adolf Hitler changed people perceptions on things because of these posters, first they had little reason why they should hate Jews, now they know why they should hate Jews, but Hitler brainwashed them, Hitler propaganda phrase ,
" If you tell people a lie enough times they will believe it."- Adolf Hitler


They made the first concentration camp in 1933 March in Dachau, which was made who opposed against Hitler. 30,000 Men and women were in the camp, out of 30,000, 2,500 didn' make out alive, 17,500 made it but how was it possible for any country to take them in? America had a limit amount of people come and Canada taking no Jew immigrants to their country. Their very own infamous quote saying "How many should we take in? None is too many." -- Canada
Even though it was really difficult in Germany, there was more to come even outside Germany, lucky one who went across world were lucky instead of being trapped in Germany and where they know things will go bad.

The most shocking part in history was, the turning point, in the histroy between 1933 to 1938, is mostly when Kristalnacht happened. When Kristalnacht happened, it was a warning, the warning towards the Jewish people who thought Hitler was just a small problem, then it turned out in the end many Jews died. Kristallnacht was also the first attack to the Jews and the Jews have lost their freedom or rights in Germany and now Goebell wants to attack the Jews. To me this is absulotly frightning, if I were a German soldier I wouldn't even stand, I would be horrified and completly mad. Even though it was the Hindenburg's fault of signing the treaty and making the country sign the treaty of Versailles causing all the trouble, you can't tell the difference which is worst. Being a German when the hyper-inflation happened and all the economy busted, food supply low or being a Jew, sent to concentration camps and being starved for many days and night, paying 1,000,000,000 mark for not doing the damage while the Germans destroyed the Jews property, having no right to do many things like: going to town, can't go to places full with Nazis. Mostly losing your dignity, power, and having humiliation towards the Germans.

There is no way Germans think they had more pain than the Jews, the Jews where more humiltiated then the Jews and what is more bad is that they have no more civil rights!

During the ruling of Hitler, they made many proparganda poster, even though these are just poster, these brainwashed many people. " If you tell people a lie enough times they will believe it."--Adolf Hitler. This quote may of think its just nothing but in Germany, each wall and corner you turn is a poster, the however makes them see almost soo many poster around so this made Adolf Hitlers Propaganda work, not just one street, but all of the street, its nearly impossible to not see one of the posters in Germany, this made his plan go forward. What was really outstanding and I never knew about was that in every poster there is a picture, this picture is the one which makes viewer want to see, not just Hitlers face, but Hitler knew that if he put bad pictures of Jews and Germans mich better than it will draw people eye towards it, Hitler knew that the people of Germany or everyone is most likely drawn to see picture. Also what was really interesting was that in the very first time when Germany had Hitler ruling and said to boycott the Jews stores, the Germans have no reason to hate, boycott the Jews, they had little reason to hate them. While Hitler had many reason, with his power, he changed the whole mind of Germany. Boycotting Jew products or businesses, making Jew go away if there is many Germans in the area (moving away them from other people), then soon destroying their property and German not being blamed says that the Jew owner have to pay the price for the damage = 1,000,000,000 mark ( 1 billion mark), and then Goebell told that the Nazi's were going to attack the Jews, Kristalnacht is the very first attack 1938, Novaember 9th-10th, this changed the life of a Jew, then the most devastating weapon, the concentration camps, even though it wouldn't kill you in one shot you will starve to death. These all were stages of the Genocide.

When I see this, I think of how humane was Hitler? How can he hate even though Jews help the Germans in the first World War? Hitler can use propaganda to hate the Jews for the humiliation towards other country but Hitler went to far, he started killing the Jews like the concentration camp what happened to Bruno and Shmuel. But the biggest reason is that how can a man, a man with no feelings toward the Jews, being starved to death. The Jews had the same thing also, they were starving during the World War 1. The Nazi men just threw the Jews as if they were junk, or trash and think of them as the problem of war. What I learn't so far was really shocking, interesting, and not wanting the truth. I can not beleve any more that Canada took not alot of people to their country, this is must be the most frustrating obstacle to over-come if you were a Jew.

My Secret Brain

During the discussion in class about learning profiles, I learnt which part of my brain was the dominant part. My right hemisphere is dominant meaning that I am a gestalt learner. A gestalt learner sees the big picture rather than small details that a logic person would know and see.

However,while I am a gestalt learner with the right hemisphere very dominant one part of me ,my eyes is not. I am right eared, right handed, and right footed. However I am left eyed. This gives me a learning profile of "K".

So my teacher needs to understands that I learn best by through movement, like drama. For example the play for Theseus, it was easier to understand the story line than anything else, it stuck with me than reading from the book. Even though I have a upper hand in Visual, I need to see the the whole picture and need the most information.

As I, a student, I can't communicate really well if under-stress. Sometimes I can see the whole picture in math, but I need to make it smaller pieces so I could understand the whole picture. This happens to humanities subject mostly, it is hard to take it in some big facts, hard to understand to even though I can see the whole picture.

I should be responsible where I sit in class if I read with my left eye, and read right to left, I need to find a comfortable place to seat instead of sitting in the wrong area. I would try to understand hard information and try to make the information much easier instead of being helpless. I would need to really now how to communicate properly by reading out loud, writing, drawing. I need to sit in front of the class on the left side of the room so I can easily see the board instead of having trouble reading.

Responsiblity of the death of Bruno

In this book "The boy in Striped Pyjamas" by John Boyrne. Bruno is killed in the 18th chapter of the book which is well knwon, who is responsible? Who is responsible for his death

The ones who should could be responsible for his death should be:
Hitler.
His father.
David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando.
The Treaty of Versailles and Woodrow Wilson.

Each of them played the role for Bruno's death. Each charactar had a significant movement towards his death. Even the part that never happened in the book and even occur.

His father, Ralph, if Bruno's dad never became a Commandant then Bruno could of never seen the fence which made him explore more and he meets Shmuel, which leads him to his death but it wasn't Shmuels fault that he lead to Bruno's death. Bruno could still meet Shmuel even if they never made it to Auschwitz they still could see other striped pajama or Jews, could the camp be in Berlin? Could Bruno see a camp far of the distance in his window and see a "camp"? It wasn't Bruno's dad fault EVEN though he lead him to the trap.

The next victim in line who made the whole situation since he is really powerful is Hitler, or Fuhrer. Bruno's dad couldn't made the camps, couldn't control most the things happening, so thats why I think Hitler is the one to blame but not all of the blame.

Hitler was a German solider fighting for his country but he was frustrated that in Germany was in a bad state, where they had hyperinflation of ecnomy, 2,000,000 soldiers died in WWI and starved people. Germany was in a crisis. So Hitler had to do something, he can't lets down his country, he was desperate to make Germany strong, but then he went too far. Hitler is responsible for the Extermination camps to kill jews and for the cost of all the lives of the Jews who are dead. Also responsible for the war which made the reason killed. But those people could of been alive IF there was a motive that made Hitler made war, Hitlers motive was to make Germany a better place, strong again, and proud. He was blaming for the contract that the president of Germany signed the "Treaty of Versailles". Which to away there proud and power token away. Hitler motive was the contract, "The treaty of Versailles"

The Treaty of Versailles, the one which made the war, the one which caused Germany fall and make the 2nd World war. Even though it was to bring peace, it was just too harsh to the Germans and to call it "peace". Woodrow Wilson was suppose to make the 15 point peace plan worked, since it was his idea to end all war he had to think that the Treaty of Versailles was harsh to the Germans. It was plot of the plan to Bruno's death, Bruno would of been alive IF the 15-point peace plan was not to harsh the Germans until Hitler came to rise. This is Hitler motive in my theory because this 15-point peace plan did not succeeded in making freedom instead making Germany worse, making revenge. BUT the 15-point peace plan made by Woodrow Wilson was the perfect plan before it was rewrote by the ones really responsible to Bruno's death, the prime minister or president of France, Britain, and Italy, David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. These three in my opinion why Bruno in the book "Boys in Striped Pjyamas" died.

David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando should be the one to blame for Bruno's death even though Hitler made the concentration camps, it was Hitlers motive that made the war. These three people made the treaty wrosen to the Germans so that made Germans angry.

So if David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando weren't that harsh to the Germans, than there would never been a holocaust or many dead Jews.

Summary:

David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando ones to blame because of the holocaust

Hitler was the one responsible for the killings and war but it wasn't his fault if the Treaty was better.

Ralph or Commandant was responsible for PARTLY of his death even tough he led him to Auschwitz making him bored because he had nobody to talk to so he adventures.

Treaty of Versailles, was the Hitler's motive to destroy all Jew because he blames them for the troubles. Treaty of Versailles was bad because of the victors of war.

Why I picked my Two-Voice Poem Charactars.

Why I choose the two charactars for this two-voice poem. The reason was that Eurydice what I thought in the myth was really, confusing because I did not understand how she was bitten, and how she went to the forest. Its suppose to be a myth so when I tried understand the part when she was in the forest, the plot, and I put in the myth and some of what I thought about what of happen, she went a forest, and a big forest because it would of taken a long time for the poison to go inside the blood.

So Eurydice and Orpheus myth story makes sense and I tried to put Hope in my story because the story about them could of changed, Orpheus could of have hope that Eurydice was behind her, Eurydice could of had hope and struggled for survival, but in the end the characters gave up. I choose hope because it was the weakest part of the story.

No man is and island. A man is a contient.



No man is an Island

"No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

These words by John Donne from the 1624 Meditation 17.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I think of this, I think of when the world was together, Pangaea. It was together, when everyone was connected, but when it spread, you would lost connection with everyone you know. Like World War 2, when this happened, the world was separated by racism, and war. The war was with Poland and France. Imagine if Jew was in Poland? Then it would be a disaster! What if you had friends with a Jew or a German? It would be a traitors and hate each other because your parents, the army, are using propaganda on you, they would say that Jew hate you or Germans hate you or worse. This is what I think about the poem, showing that when you separate the whole, it will fall apart.

The video made by Jason Van Gendere, was not related but theres one meaning which stands out, "No man's an Island." When I remembered the word island, it reminded me of Insolated, meaning island. When it said no mans an island, it meant no mans alone, excluded from the big continent. "No man's an Island" is the what stands out during the video.

During this video, I took the one which was one of significant and true fact about the world. "Do we show empathy by donation?" "I stand by you today, I look away.". These quotes from the video are significant mostly the donation. Do you donate because you feel like it? Do you donate because you pity them? If you feel pity then act. I think that's the voice of the quote. I gave donate money but I never felt i did anything good because money does not make happiness. "I stand by you today, I look away." this quote means when you see a poor person, you ignore, he's not important, go live your life but full with ignorance like Jesus Colon. You ignore the weak (woman) and leave because of prejudice. Gendere has shown that mankind that they don look at the poor and ignore them, see them who didn't succeed in life.

I think this video is based on reality, what everyone has done, did not care for people who did not succeed education and life.

Why I choose this picture?

I choose this picture because its small, alone deserted, and even though you are in a beautiful beach, you are alone, isolated.

Poem of a voice

The Poem


What do we do with a difference?
Do we stand and discuss its oddity
or do we ignore it?
Do we shut our eyes to it
or poke it with a stick?
Do we clobber it to death?
Do we move around it in rage
and enlist the rage of others?
Do we will it to go away?
Do we look at it in awe
or purely in wonderment?
Do we work for it to disappear?
Do we pass it stealthily
Or change route away from it?
Do we will it to become like ourselves?
What do we do with a difference?
Do we communicate to it,
let application acknowledge it
for barriers to fall down?
James Berry
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Questions
  • What labels does he place on the groups to which he belongs? on other groups?
  • How did those labels shape the way he perceived his choices? the decision he made?
  • Why does he have regrets? Did he make the right choice?
  • Would your answer be different if he were a white American?
  • Who is the victim in this story–Colón, the woman, or the larger society?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ideas not starting
  • Jesus Colon "Do we pass it stealthy" the poem is similar when Jesus Colon wanted to sneak away so no harms in his way because the segregation in the time making him fear the white people.
  • The blokes "Do we stand and discuss its oddity or do we ignore it?" No one in the school could nor stand up or help the victim being bullied. The Blokes also made them have no choice by making them be feared.
  • The island "Do we shut our eyes to it or poke it with a stick?" When the people on the island found the man, they want to kick him away because their not their kind. When the quote of "Do we shut our eye" this mean"t that they will take care of him and have no worries. Soon the poet tells us that "or poke it with a stick?" this quote. This quote is significant because in the end of The Island they threw him out, the quote meaning that they don't want the responsibility of taking care off him.
  • The Blokes "Do we stand and discuss its oddity or do we ignore it?" When John get blackmailed by The Blokes, "A little birdy tells me your dads a kid killer" which is really nasty. When he gets blackmailed, the people who are watching him in pain are just watching him being bullied up, their like bystanders watching, but can't help him. The people watching couldn't stand up for him, or even look at the problem. They just ignore it as it were just nothing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What shapes our identity what I think is people forcing you, apperence, emotion, how they look. Same as Jesus Colon, he was forced by the people so he left the woman who was not prejudice but the other people but not her. For example, If I forced a young boy to hate a certain person many times or talk about, the boy would be already learned and know about the certain person so he would be already controlled by.

Apperence is important, even now, it immediately tells who you are and what you are. If you wear proper clothing it means you are smart and really delicate. If you wear bad clothing means not rich, bad, and not smart.

These character traits tells and makes people do what they do, what makes the shape our identity.

This item, why item, about that item. Me in 10 objects.

Top Ten Favorites Objects - Amin

  1. Penguin and key chain
  2. Art pictures
  3. Knife
  4. My X-Box 360
  5. Mosquito light
  6. Badminton
  7. Violin Music or just music
  8. Camera.
This item, what item, why this item. Me in 8 objects.

This first object of a penguin, this penguin was always on my bed when I was alone, an imaginary friend. This toy reminds me the day I saw the cold beach in Australia, this was like a flashback when I was 5 or 4, really hard to remember. It was night, 7:00pm as the cold breeze from the beach shiver my spine going up and down. As the waves came again and again, I heard penguin shouts and their small movement with their feet, one by one, a penguin came marching to the beach. I saw their furry skin, orange beak and which was really beautiful before I left Australia It was the last day that I would stay in Australia, its a day that I never seen it face to face. Its now a shimmer in my mind, only an item, a special item can help me remember which was a penguin.

I like art because its the only time I put my ideas without writing. Writing is hard because I can't put them in order but I can have many ideas, I see art in a different way because art is an imagination, you can create many things with it like a minotaur half man and half bull. It like an invention to me, and to yourself because what you made is a new, not copied but yours truly. What inspired me was in 6th grade in Art when the subject was Picasso, he puts music into art which makes sense. I love the picture which you have to think really hard to know the sequence like the beats going up and down. The art picture shows
the dark color to light color, darkness to light, bad to evil, and benevolent to malevolent.

This is probably one of the dangerous because I did something wrong that everyone wouldn't think they would do with a knife. It was a normal morning when I was hungry for instant noodles when there was no scissors to cut the instant noodles. So then I used the 16cm long and 6 cm as the width knife to cut the noodles but then I cut half of my middle finger. It was unimaginable pain on my middle finger, but I think it wasn't just an incident because I think there was purpose why I cut my middle finger like you know. So then I went to the clinic to stop it, and did a tetanus shot on my arm from stopping the metal from infecting me. Then I had to clean the bloody kitchen and especially my moms bed room. The knife was like the same item as a penguin only reminds me the pain, and blood. I still had the knife in my kitchen which is shocking scaring the pants out of me to see the knife who made you bleed.


My X-Box 360 means all lot to me because it was my gaming device over the summer, it was my friend when I am bored, happy, and I am not sure but when I am sad, its like my penguin but with many features. The first time I got my X-Box was like having a nuclear bomb which can change my life. It could play many games but I am really picky, I play strategy and thinking games like chess. Like Command and Conquer where you can control armies. This show that I think real hard before doing anything like steps by steps like chess. You command, and you conquer.
like
The item next is the stinging, shocking , and helpful to everyone. It was the mosquito Zapper, it was brightly purple which attracts the blood sucking mosquito's to the beautiful light which kills each instantly, in reality the zapper is actually purple electricity which is really painful if you touch the tube or the metal. This magnificent zapper show that I really hate people who annoy me like mosquito.


The violin is the most unique instrument because its soft, and its like music in your ears. Not like other instrument, which is loud. I am a person who like soft music which is the violin, slow and steadily, you can dance to the rhythm like Carlos Gardel who made “por una cabeza” which is soft and have good rhythm. even titanic! I take interest in soft, slow and rhythm music.

The 8th item is a camera, a camera who reminds you of the past that you had, a camera not only a for remembrance but a piece of art. Some picture from the past when I am small makes me happy that I know I was there, with my family and in Australia. It captures a moment of my life that I went to the cold seas, rough waves coming splashing every second, the emerging penguins near the coasts. This makes me happy that I was there when I never knew when I had a small memory capacity. The image which is a piece of art is the person who was sky-diving and opened his parachute at the right time, to take the picture. This inspires a photographer many things you can do with the your surroundings. These are my 8 items I chose, that represent me in 8 ways.

The reason I pick this fantastic quote.


"Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?" I picked this quote because, most of the time, I have homework, homework which always has due dates which make you compacted with things, I usually wish it was the only homework so I can show my true effort in to it. I remember when I did a comic homework and it was due by 2 days and knew that it would be to late if I put soo much effort inside because it might take too long and might needed extension. So I did a one which was like 1/2 or 1/4 of my effort into that paper. I wished it was 1 week so it would like something which came out a letter from heaven. It even effects my work habbit because I rush too much.

Where the Hell is Matt?? Well I don't know!


Matt, he makes everyone together from all around the world and different nations. most of them never knew who was their neighbours The dancing makes people together, from a one person doing the show, to over many people. More people, different ideas, but is the same kind.

When I went to my school in Malaysia, most of them are Malaysian but rarely any other people. When the first english person came, it mean't that I actually met someone who went around the world and went here. I looked at him closely, and he was so different that he told me about what was about his country and what the thing they do. He was form America and and I was from Malaysia, he said they ate a "Lamb" I thought it was another type of chicken with rice but no. We had many differences, I was so into what was he because I was only 5-6 years old that time so what they did in school is too Malaysian when I said "too Malaysian" I mean we only studied about Asia but not the other side. I learned all lot from him because he was a from the other side of the world and I was connected to him like a line. I am so lucky that I went to ISKL so I can know all lot of people from the other side.

I think Matt is trying to connect people around the world because I learned all lot from International School then the coutries schools.

The picture above show people around the world hearing each with a phone like Matt which he travels the world to meet people. This make everyone connect like
