    This is very dangerous because it shows a figure that Americans commonly attribute to freedom and independence telling them to vote.

    Most people probably won't see this as dangerous, becuase it is simply encouraging young people to vote. However this encorages the young people to vote that don't even know why they are voting. Most teens that don't vote don't do it because they don't follow the pollitics. This poster encorages them to vote anyway.

    Sure, more people should vote and help out our country. But people could look at this the wrong way and think that they should vote even if they do not know anything about the canidates. It encourages people to vote to feel good about themselves, that they helped our country. However, if they just vote to vote, it hurts our country, if anything.

    This poster isn't dangerous because it encourages young people to vote, and that's a good thing.

    My interpretation matched the majority of users who felt this example of propaganda was beneficial. It exemplifies the importance of voting and the independence it reflects.

    This seems like a straight forward and intelligent approach to motivate and empower, for a good cause. It feel it's very beneficial.

    Its graphics are strong and i think will draw the eyes of young adults and teens. It is encouraging them to vote but in no way forcing them by adding negative messages behind not voting.

    This image appeals to the desires of the young to have control and to feel powerful. The image is fairly positive and empowering. It should be somewhat effective at encouraging persons to vote.

    This message also is a bit oversimplified. While it certainly artistically appeals to teens, it does little to inform or elaborate.

    This form of propaganda is beneficial because it targets to an emotion. As a young adult you do want to feel like you have power and in control. The message certainly lets you know how you can achieve that.

    I think this ad is beneficial. The meaning of the ad is directly put on the ad. And the image is very interesting, it is attractive for young people. I think many people would start to vote after seeing this ad.

    I do think this would make younger citizens a little bit more interested in voting

    There are a lot of cynical people who do not vote because they claim it doesn't matter or they don't really have a say. But if they do not vote and are currently unhappy with the government, they are not doing anything to make a change.

    This is a beneficial ad that serves as a reminder to the younger population that they should feel empowered to vote and be heard too. I don't see any hidden meaning behind it that would be considered misleading.

    I think this one is somewhere in the middle. It's a good thing because it's a motivator to go vote. On the other hand, I don't know if everyone thinks positively about the word "power," so that can change the perception of the message.

    This is somewhat beneficial because it encourages voting, which is good, and uses "Uncle Sam" and American colors to do so, but it makes it seem like a voter has more power than they actually do, which could be misleading.
