AMST 2103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: Malvina Reynolds, Girl Scouts Of The Usa, Propaganda Due
Document Summary
Or are there important differences we should note. Consider the alien series, for example, or arrival (2016). Cold war & anti-communism: outright anti-communist propaganda, the paranoid style in popular culture, othering & emphasis on social conformity. Malvina reynolds was a subdivision of little boxes because they all look almost exactly the same. Politicians are holding high end debates about the cold war in kitchen exhibits. Civil defense put out pamphlets about nuclear shelters and how a man can get one and a woman can stock it with food. Girl scouting and boy scouting taught gender roles to children and that would prevent communism. Men were taught to be tough like the cowboys in the westerns of the time. Juvenile delinquency was perceived as a large threat as well. The idea was that if you were gay and in the closet then that gives someone blackmail potential.
