What can be more propagandized than the political parties, it can be assured that during the political running of the 2008 elections everyone and everything was propagandized. Many artists would help the candidates in the running. Television, radio, magazines, newspapers, commercials... and many more than can be named, and what do all these medias have in common? Well they would help promote the upcoming candidates. The year 2008 was when many different topics and electronics began to be propagandized. Like the iPod touches and all the new phones, like the iPhones. Political campaigns had never been so propagandized until that year, perhaps it helped out because voters were more aware, and they were particularly young voters which is what is needed during elections; young well informed voters.
As we all may be well informed of the most recent ridiculous news of Donald /trump attempting to run for President for the 2012 elections, there are quite very many articles covering this story. According to an article written by the Los Angeles Times called "Trump's flirtation with presidential bid gains traction", he mentioned that he would be able to get lower gas prices faster than Obama, because supposedly Obama has been wasting time in the basketball courts. He really knows how to promote himself he has all the tools to do so, and therefore does it to the best of his ability.
He might be able to know how to promote his campaign and all, but he honestly does not have political savviness. How would he know, how to manage a whole country, he might be a very successful man in what he does with real estate and investing, but would he be prepared to take this country out of its whole. Would he be capable of provide jobs, Medi-care, and most importantly what about all the budget cuts that are affecting students. It's looking harder and harder to have a career when so many classes and teachers are being cut. If he can find a way to incorporate that into his propagandizing for the running of Presidency and he is able to keep his word, perhaps people would most likely vote for him.
You did bring up good points of the commercials reaching out to the younger population for the elections. They really wanted all of the votes they can get, and they did a good job on trying to persuade the younger population. The Ipods and everything was a good idea. They know what kind of language to use in order to get the audience they want. Language is huge in understanding what they want the audience to get. They will use words to make one candidate better than the other one. It almost seems like they are down talking the other candidate any a way they are. They also make it seem like their policies are the better choice. Most of the time, it doesn’t go through.
ReplyDeleteYou also brought up the idea of Trump running for president in 2012. I honestly have never heard of the idea of Trump wanting to run for the next elections. I thought this was so interesting because it really made me think if he would be a good future president. He does know how to manage his money, so it makes me think he would be a good president. He knows how money should be spent and in what areas. This is something our country really needs. We need to get back on top, because it was supposed to get better when Obama became president, but it only got worse! My mom and stepfather lost their jobs once Obama became president. Gas prices are rising like crazy! If something doesn’t change soon, we are all going to be poor. We really need a change and Trump might be the guy we are just looking for.
