    1. The document examines different propaganda posters from Britain/America and Germany during WWI and the persuasive methods they used. 2. Both countries' posters commonly used pathos, appealing to emotions like fear through depicting the enemy as inhuman or monstrous. They also commonly used ethos by featuring respected war heroes calling people to action. 3. Logic or facts were rarely used, likely because emotional appeals are more persuasive for mobilizing people for war. Family responsibility and traditional gender roles were also leveraged to encourage men to enlist.

    1. What patterns do you see in the way governments mobilized their people for war?

    The propaganda made little to no appeal to logos, probably because people are better persuaded by emotional
    appeals or the examples of social heroes.
