Film Response

Watching an excerpt from a Band of Brothers film made me feel many emotions. The things they did in the concentration camps were horrible. It makes me sad that anyone would ever do that to another human being. No matter what religion they are, they are still humans, and should not be seen as anything less. It made me feel embarrassed to be a human being. What happened was horrible. No person should be treated that way, regardless of religion.

Propaganda- Down with the kids

"Down with the kids" is a propaganda technique that tries to convince you of the idea or proposal is coming from a person "just like you." The person may use a certain slang or accent to relate to the audience. They also might make errors on purpose to make it sound more sincere. ACE (alliance for climate education) is promoting their "FREE high school climate assemblies." They are using superhero costumes and rap music to make education look fun.
