Overview
The purpose of this discussion is to analyze and evaluate World War II recruitment posters.
Instructions
For this discussion, review your readings for Unit 10 (pdf American Yawp: World War II Chapter 24) and study the images carefully. Feel free to do research outside the course if you'd like other points of view.
Choose ONE of the images. Prepare a discussion where you explain, based on your readings, the answers to each of the following questions:
- Who is the audience, the target market, for the image?
- What ethical or moral values does the poster use to communicate its message? Are there relevant values that are not considered in the message?
- What is the poster's purpose? What is the message that this poster communicates?
- Why is it important for this message to be delivered to this audience at this moment in time?
- How does the document communicate its message? Think about its use of language, color, space, and symbols.

This pair of U.S. military recruiting posters demonstrates the way that two branches of the military—the Marines and the Women's Army Corps—borrowed techniques from professional advertisers to "sell" a romantic vision of war to Americans. One shows Marines at war in a lush jungle, reminding viewers that the war was taking place in exotic lands; the other depicted women taking on new jobs as a patriotic duty.
