The tell is card-stacking: chosen U.S. activities are presented as the world's progress. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Glittering generalities](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/glittering-generalities/) [Card stacking](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/card-stacking/) [Testimonial](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/testimonial/) ## Text on the object Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` “...in a Changing world” “The world ‘is living and therefore changing’ and consequently an attempt to freeze any order of society ‘is bound, in the long run, to jeopardise the peace of mankind’.” 18 November 1958, Cleveland, Ohio. U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles Change from colonialism to independence “The United States supports political independence for all peoples who desire it ...” “We provide technical assistance ...so that others may learn how to help themselves achieve a better life.” Change in the unexplored polar regions “The Arctic now offers the new routes whereby men can quickly establish contact with each other.” On 5 August 1958 the American atomic-powered submarine Nautilus with 116 men aboard travelled beneath the polar ice cap, and was continuously under water for a total distance of 1830 miles. Change in the world of physical power “ ... We continue to develop ... the peaceful uses of atomic energy.” At Columbia University, New York, a patient lies beneath the theatron, a powerful machine which uses radioactive cobalt for the treatment of cancer. Change in the firmament above us “The United States has begun planning for the use of the newly-penetrated realm of outer space...” On 11 October 1958 the U.S. moon-probe rocket “Pioneer” was launched, reaching an unprecedented height of 79,000 miles. Change from anarchy to order “The United States has endeavoured, by its own example and by its expositions in the United Nations, to emphasise the importance of law and justice.” United States Information Service ``` [← A Helping Hand in Time of Crisis poster, No. 67 (Aymara, USIS Lima)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/a-helping-hand-in-time-of-crisis-poster-67-aymara-peru-1958/) ["...In a Changing World" poster (Gujarati, India) →](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/in-a-changing-world-gujarati-india-1958/) ## More propaganda examples that use the same techniques - [Gypsum alabaster slab inscribed in cuneiform, from Nimrud (Kalhu), reign of Ashurnasirpal II](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/nimrud-slab-ashurnasirpal-ii-inscription-883bce/) (Neo Assyrian Empire · 0000 · Transfer, Glittering generalities) - [Colour lithograph of the Latin text of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti on the wall of the temple of Roma and Augustus at Ancyra, with the heading in large letters (Perrot, Guillaume and Delbet, 1872)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/lithograph-res-gestae-ancyra-heading-0014/) (Roman Empire · 0014 · Card stacking, Glittering generalities) - [Bronze sestertius of Trajan, reverse S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, S C, the emperor on horseback riding down an enemy](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/sestertius-trajan-optimo-principi-0103/) (Roman Empire · 0103 · Testimonial, Glittering generalities) - [Gold solidus of Constantine I, reverse RESTITVTORI LIBERTATIS](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/solidus-constantine-i-restitutori-libertatis-0313/) (Roman Empire · 0313 · Glittering generalities) - [Gold solidus of Justinian I, reverse VICTORIA AVGGG with Victory holding a Christogram staff](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/solidus-justinian-i-victoria-avggg-0538/) (Byzantine Empire · 0538 · Transfer, Glittering generalities) - [The Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I (Royal Museums Greenwich version), oil on panel](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/armada-portrait-elizabeth-i-greenwich-1588/) (England · 1588 · Transfer, Glittering generalities) - [Medal of Elizabeth I: portrait in a ruff, reverse an ark on stormy waves with SAEVAS TRANQVILLA PER VNDAS (18th-century aftercast of a 1588 model)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/elizabeth-i-ark-medal-aftercast-1588/) (England · 1588 · Transfer, Glittering generalities) - [Frontispiece to Eikon Basilike, The Pourtraicture of His Sacred Majestie in his Solitudes and Sufferings (Hollar, 1649)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/eikon-basilike-frontispiece-hollar-1649/) (Dutch Republic · 1649 · Transfer, Glittering generalities)
