Vietnam

    Between 1952 and 2014, the American people fought wars in Korea and Vietnam, witnessed a revolution in terms of civil rights, endured the Watergatescandal, etc.

    During that period, American presidential campaigns changed as well
    with the use of TV commercials. Online resources, such as the Museum of the
    Moving Image (http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/), give us a unique opportunity
    to view some of the most important campaign commercials of all time. By analyzing
    some of the critical election campaign ads of the past, we can better appreciate how
    some of our most famous (or infamous) leaders and issues were portrayed to the
    people of the time.

    Choose one of the elections between 1952-2012 and analyze the campaign
    commercials of one presidential candidate. After examining one or two different
    ads, write a short paper of about three pages summarizing your observations. The
    paper should discuss what you found most interesting or surprising about the
    campaign commercials. Special attention should be paid to the candidate’s
    personality, key issues, attempts to appeal to the “average” American, etc. Also,
    based on the commercial ,and if you would have voted for that person .
