Propoganda

I think that this propaganda poster is refering to those people, (I believe it was women, since they were recruited en masse in order to construct the weapons of war during WW2), who were constructing the weapons for the soldiers. It would be widely accepted, because the poster is not trying to be demanding of anyone, it places a person in danger if the weapon that was created does not work. This is meant to play on the emotions of the workers to make sure that they do not make any mistakes during the construction of various weapons. The audience would not feel manipulated or controlled since they would want to work to the best of their ablitity in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers, more often their husbands and sons. Like said before, it plays of the emotions of the workers. I think it is appropriate for the society, because it is geared towards americans, and the american society is democratic, so it won't say anything that will force it's population into action, but rather motivate them. I think the slogan will stick in the mind of the women workers, for if that situation actually happend, it could mean the death of a loved one.
