Emphasis on the Individual, Phillipines: EC

To merge the ideas of emphasis on the individual and the propaganda of the Philippines, I found an flyer that correlates with both.  It is an anti-Japanese flyer to attract the citizens of the American population/Filipino population to what the Japanese were doing in the Pacific. The first thing that my mind focuses on in the image is the newspaper clipping that is placed in the middle.  The clipping talks about the many Americans that were killed by Japanese torture and it points out the method of 'March of Death.'  One, 5200 is a very large number, so that immediately evokes emotion from the viewer on the lives that were lost.  It also states that they were prisoners, which in war, prisoners of war are supposed to be treated fairly.  There is also the use of the words 'Jap' and 'Yank.'  Jap being somewhat of a racial slur, Yank could be considered a racial slur but I don't understand why Americans would use a racial slur towards themselves unless they are using it to relate to other countries who better know us as Yanks during this time period.  I believe they used a newspaper clipping image to give a sense of realism.  I'm not sure if this was an actual newspaper clipping or not.  If so, it is a direct relation to the incident, if not, it is made to be representative of the actual event.  Behind that is an image of a tied up American soldier being mistreated and abused by a Japanese soldier.  Further behind that is the 'Death March,' which is why it was mentioned in the newspaper clipping.  Here, the artist portrays what the march was actually like.  You can see soldiers watching to make sure everyone marches and some being hit to continue.  This is another way of evoking emotion from the viewers.  Then of course there is the font.  Similar to the way Uncle Sam's poster was laid out, there is a change in color and size on the word YOU.  Stating, "What are YOU going to do about it?"  Basically it has evoked emotion from the viewer, sadness, anger, angst, whatever it may be, then it asks you what YOU're going to do about it.  This is a tactic to make you want to do something for those people you see in the images.  It then follows up with the lower line, "Stay on the job until every murdering Jap is wiped out!" One, they portray the killing of Japanese as a job for the Americans.  We NEED to stop the Japanese from doing this to our people and the Filipino people.  Murdering Jap is emphasized and enlarged as if someone was actually saying it.  I think it is an effective flyer as it makes me angry that this happened to our soldiers and the innocent people of the Philippines.  It gives an incentive for people to join and help the fight.  It is different than the Uncle Sam poster in the sense of directness.  There is no one pointing directly at you or staring you down but there is a direct question to the viewer which is what makes this image effective.
