"Destination Earth" Propaganda

1. The overt message in this film was incredibly clear. They came right out and said that oil and competition allow America to have the highest standard of living.
2. The covert message is also pretty blatant. This video was trying to instill a pro-oil mentality by giving the credit to oil companies for all of the luxuries that we have. It also said that through oil and competition we are better and happier than communist states, such as Mars.
3. We know that this is propaganda because there was both an overt and a covert message in this video. The video was saying that oil was good while pushing the more powerful message that oil and competition are the reasons why we are not communist.
