1. LP 6 – Cold War Media Propaganda (and literature).
Please write down the LT and SC, then complete the DO NOW with your table.
LT – I can analyze pro-Socialist, Communist and USSR media and propaganda. SC – I know I have hit the LT when I can explain how media and propaganda can persuade an audience to support/oppose a side in the Cold War. DO NOW – 3 minutes Make a rap/rhyme with parts of the definitions  of Capitalism, Communism and Socialism.

2. What are the big ‘isms’ of the Cold War?
Capitalism – Classes in society
“Free Market”
Private Property – all property is owned and controlled by individual people, businesses and corporations
Socialism – belief in a society that is working towards creating a more equal society
Property is owned and controlled by the state/government
Taxes individuals to redistribute wealth from those with more to those with less
Uses tax money for public projects (education, health, roads….)
Communism – has never really happened – is supposed to be the last, best stage of development
After a society has gone through capitalism, then socialism…its members are educated and rational enough to work in a society without an official government.
There are no classes in society
There is no private property
Decisions are made democratically in a worker councils
