This article talks about the important elements to win a war. In World War II, the weapons such as guns, tanks, and bombs were the necassary staff to prepare and win a war. These were the outside key to win the war. If a country want to win a war, also need some mental aspect’s methods. Words, posters, and films can influence the American citizens’ hearts and minds. This was a good way to stimulate and cheer for the public support. So in that occasion, the nation’s foremost intellectuals, artists, and film makers played important role to the war’s victory.
1.This picture tells there were many women had no job or did nothing before the wartime. But since the war beguin, the country needed women to make effort in the industries for the civilian service, and even the Armed Forces. The women had to hold job in wartime and did anything they can do.
2.This let me thinking about the women are thought as a weak group all the time. But during the wartime, even the women should make some contrubution for the country. They were not cannot do something, and they just be thought cannot do something. So in the enmergency time, the country encouraged the women to get job in the industries or the army it’s right. Only in this way, the government stimulated and concentrated all the power together, so the country could go through the war.

1. This tells us in the World War II the Nazi of Fascism threaten the safe of United State. They were two groups: Japan and Cermany. So they appealed to the emotions from citizens. And they intimidated the peace of world.
2. I think they were cruel. They destroied the peaceful world environment. At that time, people feared the army. Also, I think this is a good poster to stimulate people’s emotion. This poster related to human’s individual right. Everyone would feel fear from this poster. The Fascism is horrible and we shouldn’t let it rise again.

1.This picture shows during World War II, racial restriction and segregation were facts of life in the U.S. military. Whereas, there were a huge amout of African Americans participated in the fight. Besides, they were wholeheartedly and contributing. So the government was aware the effect of racial prejudice in the war. They begun to advocated united together.
2. I think this is a wonderful policy. Not just because of this war, and this will be a trend for the racial prejudice change. The will of the people is most important to win a war. They concentrated the public feeling, united the African Americans and Americans. In this way, they had both objective and subjective factors.
You have good summary, but I think when you talk about the important elements to win a war, you can add some your idea, not only the elements article.
I think she can not add her own idea in the summary.
