Dangers of Americanism

The Dangers of Americanism was an article printed in a Nazi newspaper in  1944 during World War II. Here is the link to the article. http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/sk03.htm

When you read the article you can see how the author is trying to target a younger audience. It uses bandwagon to make it seem like everyone is in to it so all the young people should help as well with the war effort. You can also see card stacking and bandwagon when the author is trying to make America or "Americanism" look bad. It says how all the countries are fighting against Americanism so Germany should too. Card stacking is used to say all of the negative aspects of America without saying any positive ones. The whole article is based on pathos rhetoric to get the readers emotionally involved. It seems that this way of arguing was very effective during world war II for many of the leaders around the world.
