Propaganda 2

The propaganda effort in World War One, as many organizations and help groups were formed to help aid the War effort. I feel like at the time it was really the only way to get information out to the public besides newspapers

The poster's purpose is to draw a sympathy for the soldiers. In the war when the soldiers have down time there isn't much to do so many take up smoking to pass the time. It is saying we need cigarettes more than anything else

The purpose of this poster is to continue to emphasize the need for rationing food during this time. The word don't is capitalized to help emphasize this.

This poster's purpose is to help rally the citizens at home to save food for the war effort. It is saying that food is just as good as weapons, and anything you can gave will not go to waste.

This poster is meant to help rally the people around their patriotic feelings about Independence Day. The vibrant American colors help bring the reader in. It is more of a pick me up poster in a time of peril. 

Propaganda

1) The word propaganda is used to describe political posters that are made to persuade the public to choose a side in a occurring event.

2)Propaganda is "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view".

3)Poster One: The soldiers outside are in many numbers while the man sitting inside is alone. The posters purpose is to evoke citizens to join up in the war effort instead of being bystanders.

Poster Two: The woking man I am assuming is a farmer is shadowed by a patriot in the back. I believe the point of this message is to show the viewer that there is a soldier in all of us.

Poster 3: i am drawn to the knitting in th direct center of the poster. I believe the purpose of this poster is to get women to donate socks to the Red Cross Association to aid the war effort.

7) I believe it is a waste of money. We are already using our taxes to aid the war, and they are trying to get us to give more. If an American is willing to give they will.

8) Most likely because they weren't getting enough support for the war. It wasn't our war to begin with, and many Americans believed we shouldn't have participated in it.

Birmingham Field Trip

I knew that during the movement the situation was bad, with the situations of bombings and the fire hoses. As I read the information in the museum and the looked at the exhibits though, the information began to come alive in a sense. The images were a lot more vivid, and let me see clearly that the discrimination was not only brutal on African Americans physical states, but also their emotional states as well. What really stood out to me was the fact that "The Bull" had special made an anti-protest vehicle, the tank. It was ironic that those who were there to protect and serve rode around in a tank that was created to scare people.

Homework Control

Humans control their own destiny as they have been placed as the top of the food chain for all of Earth. As we progress and advance technology we continue to assert our dominance over all species. We can control our future as we can make sure history doesn't repeat itself, but lust and power hang heavy over the heads of many. As technology continues to upgrade, the lust for the power becomes easier to obtain by many. we can control it, but only if the people choose to make the hard decisions to keep our societies in check.

Progressivism

1) Flying Taxi's, Moon Travel Frequently, Flying machines to catch birds, Firefighters with batwings, blimp boats, domesticate whales and use for transportation, Robots. These were all suggestions a theories of how the people in the early 20th century viewed how we would live today.

2) Most all of these are unrealistic and sort of a wish list for the people. During the time of fast developing technology, many people had a a broad creativity in their mind.

3) Some variations have happened, but many on a lesser and more intelligent scale. Planes are not flapping wings, but we have not made flying cars yet. We have gone to the moon, but it is not like taking a subway to New York City.

4) Most of these predictions revolve around transportation and technology. As the industrial age has made many leaps in technology the morale of creating new items is up.

5) I see warfare advancing rapidly in the next few years, and becoming a problem. It will become so advanced that the human race should not be trusted with it as soon we will destroy ourselves because of irresponsibility. I feel like we will either run out of fossil fuels, or try to find a way to make them obsolete.

The Early Presence of Law and Order

Racine Police in 1880

Although many people may think that Law and Order has been around since early civilizations, the police style that we know and see today in our societies did not become present until the rise of the Industrial Age. Before the Industrial Age the main use of the police was to maintain control over runaway slaves. With slavery abolished, policemen needed to find new identity to remain a factor in the community. As the sudden advancement of technology brought many benefits to the United States,  it could also become a danger. Misuse and a lack of attention could cause the new innovations of the world to cause major chaos among the society.  Just like the world around out the Police was in desperate need for changes and new leaders to help revamp the protectors of the people.


With the new developments in the field of technology work in the Industrial Age became more sedentary. Many workers were let of at 5, giving the citizens and early escape from the jail of a work day. This allowed more people to go home and enjoy leisure time. My father has always told me the more time I have on my hands, the more trouble I can get myself into. This was the case in this time of advancement and prosperity. Public disorder, drunkenness, and prostitution became popular offenses in this time period. The average number of arrests because of these offenses per officer was around 30 a year. Without the hard days of labor constantly shoved in the faces of the American citizens there was not much to do. Therefore mischief was a popular activity at the time.

A scene of Bootlegging. A common crime in the Industrial Age.

With the popularity of alcohol and a rise in wealth and free time, many saw the opportunity to abuse the system. Bootlegging became the center spotlight of crime and was taken up by many of the mobsters. As many mobsters tried to control the entire gambling. As the mobsters began to overwhelm the crime in cities, the police had to come up with a strategy to counter the acts that were beginning to corrupt this prosperous period of time. Special squads were created to focus on fighting these specific crimes. They were called vice squads(Policing in America). The were a specialized squad and helped take down the mobsters, like Al Capone. These squads were eventually aided by the ban of all alcohol in 1920.
distribution of alcohol in a city, it led to many other doors such as narcotics, prostitution, and

August Vollmer

With almost any topic you can think of, there is always one person whose contributions can be noted as the most influential. For police innovation August Vollmer, the Chief of Police from Berkley California, was the guy. He renovated almost all aspects of police work, and made Law and Order as efficient as the machines which were being created at the time. With the rise in automobiles there was a need for a traffic system to help keep roads and drivers safe and functioning, and to help enforce drivers from abusing their vehicles. In 1915 police began to use motorcycles to help chase down speeders. He created the first system of traffic systems, and helped utilize them in the community(Policing in America). He also was the first equip piece vehicles with radios, which helped patrol cars and cycles to be more efficient with their duties. He worked in one of the first crime labs, and was president of the Association of Police Chiefs. This was soon to be called the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1908, to help fight against drug, sex, and alcohol trafficking. His contributions to police work were more than helpful to the progression of police work.

As the technology in the industrial age progres
sed, the use of machines not only helped the major tycoons, but also the police. Henry Faulds created the method of fingerprinting, which still to this day is a weapon of law and order(Policing in America). This machine allowed the policemen to now investigate crime scenes, and still have a chance of catching the criminal. Before this the only possible way for an arrest to be mad and justice to be served was if there was a witness present.

Secret Service in 1905

In the time period of 1880-1920 many specialized groups of men were created to protect the government, and the people off the US. The Secret Service was founded to help protect the government against counterfeit and fraud. In 1902 they were reassigned to serve and protect the president(Policing in America). A special group of policemen were chosen to investigate railroad crimes and robberies, as the railroad industry boomed during this period of time. The railroads were and easy target, and were a necessary asset to the economy at the time.

The Industrial Age came with many changes to the economy, cities, and social lives of the citizens with Untied States. As they changed, the police did too. It is human nature to find solutions and adapt to new environments. It is to no surprise that the men in blue changed with their society, as they continue to do today to help protect and serve the people of this country.

1) It was a warehouse that served as a sanctuary for collective artists.

2) There was an electronic dance party held in the Oakland Ghost Ship Warehouse. All of the plugs lead to the same socket and it overheated and caught fire. 

3) There was no direct path from the stairwell to the exit leaving many trapped from the flames of the blaze.

4) The fire's are similar in the tragedy of the losses and how it affected the communities. The fires similarly both only had one exit.
