Where the actions of individuals are concerned there are motives more exalted than enlightened self-interest, but where collective action has to be taken in the fields of politics and economics, enlightened self-interest is probably the highest of effective motives. If politicians and their constituents always acted to promote their own or their country’s long-range self-interest, this world would be an earthly paradise. As it is, they often act against their own interests, merely to gratify their least creditable passions; the world, in consequence, is a place of misery. Propaganda in favor of action that is consonant with enlightened self-interest appeals to reason by means of logical arguments based upon the best available evidence fully and honestly set forth. Propaganda in favor of action dictated by the impulses that are below self-interest offers false, garbled or incomplete evidence, avoids logical argument and seeks to influence its victims by the mere repetition of catchwords, by the furious denunciation of foreign or domestic scapegoats, and by cunningly associating the lowest passions with the highest ideals, so that atrocities come to be perpetrated in the name of God and the most cynical kind of Realpolitik is treated as a matter of religious principle and patriotic duty. (264)our task:Write two well-developed paragraphs to explain Gregory Mantsios’ myths and realities regarding social class in the Huxleyan terms of rational and nonrational propaganda, illustrating/supporting your statements with evidence from “Class in America2012.” (logically speaking, organize this paper through the contrast of the two kinds of propaganda so that your readers, who are not familiar with these ideas of either Mantsios or Huxley, will be able to distinguish between the two kinds of propaganda in relation to social class in the US.Write two well-developed paragraphs to establish whether the Google lecture by Dr. Richard Wolff is an example of rational or non-rational propaganda, supporting your claim by both the Huxleyan definition of propaganda and the evidence from Wolff’s lecture. Keep in mind that your readers are not familiar with the content, so consider a necessary brief summary. (Tip: refer to Chapter Two: “The Art of Summarizing” of They Say / I Say, pp. 30 – 41.)
