From Episode Two of the film series “The Century of the Self” by Adam Curtis. The nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays started his business life as a publicist. While still in his twenties, he was part of the propaganda effort that drove the United States into in World War I (WW I.)

He personally advised several US presidents starting with Woodrow Wilson and counseled numerous corporations and business associations. Hitler’s propaganda chief and Nazi henchman Joseph Goebbels was a reader and fan of Bernay’s writing in particular Bernay’s book “Crystalizing Public Opinion.”

In this short excerpt from Curtis’s film we see one example of Bernays at work.

Bernays was one of the engineers of the Cold War. He perfected the technique of manufacturing a distant but ever-threatening enemy and then creating a constant state of fear by generating false news reports that endlessly re-stated and exagerated the threat.

The stated purpose of Bernay’s methods was to give those in power greater control over what he called “the mass mind.” It worked well in the 1950s and sadly, it appears to be working quite well today… but maybe not forever.

Anywhere, seriously.

Which was most important to win the support of Germans: propaganda, economic policies or youth organisations AND WHY?

Thanks in advance.

Propaganda affects the most people in the shortest time. Youth groups are propaganda, but they take years to have an effect before the Hitler youth grow up to adulthood. Previous failed economic policies were the key to the rise of Naziism, but once they came to power, their economic policies didn’t change the standard of living for Germans that much. Most money went to the war effort.

The most effective tool to gain the support of Germans was gaining control of all media and then telling the same lie over and over again.

Another part of the propaganda engine was to unite the population against a common enemy. Germans were told that the source of their economic problems were the Jews. Similarly, the people were told that they were a superior race. Anything that unites a people against a common enemy can only be good for the party in power.

This technique has been used countless times in history and even in very recent history if you think about it. If you tell the people the same story over and over again, it becomes an accepted and unquestioned fact. Can you think of any possible examples of mass propaganda?

What are the organization operates internationally other than UN,WHO, NATO. I am very interested about the career in any inter national organization. i.e. I am from South Asia want to get a job in any international organization. Can anybody tell me, what kind of qualification i need to get a reasonably higher position? Can you give me a list of these organizations.
