Our group tried to emphasize the Cult of Personality and show Mao Zedong as a father of China. He is purposely showed larger and with a kind personality. Although Mao was a powerful figure with much Much of the Cultural Revolution emphasized Mao’s power. His power and authority over the entire population of China is shown in the poster. The children of China look up to Mao, just as many did during the time in real life. The Cultural Revolution allowed for many of the beliefs of the people to be manipulated and formed into believing that Mao was a godly figure of China. Even after the Cultural Revolution, the Gang of Four protected Mao's reputation because he had such a huge influence over the population of China.

The Cultural Revolution centered around much of the Though of Mao Zedong. The Little Red Book was spread throughout China during the period. Although many innocent civilians were accused of being enemies of the communist party, many more were devoted to helping the Cultural Revolution occur. The population focused on getting rid of the Four Olds, which also focused on Mao Zedong Thought. Because Mao Zedong Thought was so significant during the Cultural Revolution in getting rid of so many of the traditions and developing new ones. Because of the emphasis on Mao Zedong Thought, we tried to emphasize the Little Red Book in our propaganda.

Evaluation:

In the propaganda project, my group members and I worked together very well with almost no procrastination. We used our class time effectively and also met separately after school almost as soon as the project was assigned. Our group created an effective piece of propaganda and we were also able to create a poster that showed the themes of the Cultural Revolution. Ji Yoon, Rachel, and I was able to work well effectively and all equally worked together in making the poster.
