It names 'sabotage, acts of terrorism, needless destruction' and a refugee influx as obstacles and ends on 'persistent and valiant efforts to build a modern society.' Statistics and a development narrative are presented together, and the praise words are the sheet's own. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Card stacking](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/card-stacking/) [Glittering generalities](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/glittering-generalities/) ## Text on the object Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` The partitioning of Vietnam in 1954 deprived South Vietnam of the resources and production facilities of the North, and so forced it to turn inwards to meet its needs. Out of necessity has come a rational and systematic industrialization policy, designed primarily to support agriculture and the processing of agricultural products. For South Vietnam is predominantly an agrarian society. More than 84% of its 6.5 million labor forces are engaged in agriculture, the rest in fishing, commerce, manufacturing, handicrafts, transportation, services and construction. Parallel with industrial development policies the Government's programs for education are striving to meet its needs for trained manpower while preparing its citizens for the future. Despite sabotage, acts of terrorism, needless destruction and an influx of refugees from the North, there has been significant progress in the nation's persistent and valiant efforts to build a modern society. ``` [← Evolution in South Vietnam: Industry](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/evolution-in-south-vietnam-industry-1965-1969/) [Evolution in South Vietnam: Public Health →](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/evolution-in-south-vietnam-public-health-1965-1969/) ## More propaganda examples that use the same techniques - [Fragments of the Abydos king list from Ramesses II's temple, in the British Museum: rows of royal cartouches](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/abydos-king-list-ramesses-ii-temple-british-museum/) (New Kingdom Egypt · 0000 · Card stacking, Transfer) - [Behistun (Bisotun) rock relief and trilingual inscription of Darius I: the king, two attendants and the bound rebel leaders beneath the winged figure of Ahuramazda](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/behistun-relief-darius-and-rebels-521bce/) (Achaemenid Empire · 0000 · Card stacking, Name-calling, Testimonial).
