WW1 Poster

1. I would define propaganda as an advertisement to get people to support/get involved in something. Seems to be used mainly in times of war

2. propaganda-information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

4. Upon looking at all the images, one realizes immediately that all of the posters have a woman as the main character. 2 of the backgrounds all depict times of war with things such as soldiers, while the other seems to be a showing a nursing school that the poster is advertising. The images seem to be reaching out to you, trying to get you to come.

5. I believe the artist wanted women to see the posters and become motivated in themselves, thinking they can escape the typical household like jobs of women, while helping the country in times of war. 

6. The ideal target is women without jobs. The careers the posters are showing don't require tons of education, which is convenient because many women at that time had very little education. 

7. Im am comfortable with the idea because it helps you form your own opinion on the situation. Also helps you become aware of what is going on, which could also provide opportunities for you and others. 

8. At the time some might not have known much about the war going on and the government felt the need to bring awareness to the people. The government also needed people and money, and with the posters advertising jobs opportunities people became aware of the openings and also of things such as war bonds. At that time women didnt work as much so the government knew they were potential employees and invested in the posters in order to get the workers they needed.

White Castle Essay

      Throughout this research process i was able to learn much more about the history of the fast food industry, and in particularly the restaurant White Castle. I have never been to a white castle in my entire life, meaning before this project i knew nothing about the restaurant. The first general information i learned about the restaurant was they served the small type of burger, a lot like the ones many know that Krystals serves.

 However what many do not know is that White Castle was not only the first main seller of the burger, but also the first fast food restaurant in general.
       White castle first opened in Wichita, Kansas in 1921 under the ownership of Walter Anderson and Billy Ingram. The restaurant first sold small square burgers topped with onions, pickles and in between 2 buns which were typically served with a drink such as coffee. Due to a novel written by Upton Sinclair, titled "The Jungle" which describe the sketchiness of americas meat packing industry, many americans were afraid, and whitecastle's goal was to change that. In order to make the restaurants seem clean and sanitary, White Castles employees would wear all white and the restaraunts would be steel and white enameled on the inside. At first the buildings would be brick painted white, but throughout time the facilities started to be built with things such as steel to promote the cleanliness idea even greater.

 Also in order to gain popularity, the food was labeled as a tasty and nutritious meal that was claimed to be scientifically balanced in content of meat, wheat, and vegetable. In order to get loyale and trustworthy employees, white castle created a profit sharing plan which in one instance in 1929 the manager of the omaha white castles distributed 3000 to each of the employess which converts to 41000 today. Due to the fast food concept being so new, anderson and Ingram had to create their own supply chain of bakeries, butchers, warehouses, and such. White castle reigned the fast food industry which is shown in a newspaper ad for a business for sale, which when described is labeled as "like white castle" showing the popularity of the chain. Due to White Castle gaining a cult like following, in 1982 the restaurant branched out to the idea of shipping to customers who lived to far from a location. The burgers were shipped in dry ice in express mail and typically took 48 hours or less. Until other restaurants such as Wendy's and McDonalds gained power, white castle was the only fast food chain and is given credit to sparking the fast food industry which without, would make the world a very different place.
