   this is completely and utterly disgusting to see that someone even thought of making this picture. this is 100% harmful to people who come from where we get our oil. it shows a bad reflection on America. it shows how low we are to even say this. this is disgusting.

   this message qualifies as propaganda in many ways. One way this qualifies is by how it says that if someone doesnt give them what they want then they are a terrorist.So this could have an effect on the reader that if they don´t give oil they could be classified as a terrorist. This could be more harmful then beneficial just because it could be taken as a threat. This picture is selling the message by putting a picture of a bald eagle and a American flag behind the words. The emotional appeal to this could be fear. because the reader doesnt want to be labeled as a terrorist.

   It is interesting to see that most people view this piece of propaganda as harmful. It is uncomfortable to think about, but I think it forces us to question the US's dealings internationally and suggests something that unfortunately, may be true.

   This seems more satirical than anything. If anything is stereotypes both americans and calls those who oppose us terrorists.

   I rated this picture very harmful because it creates a racial perspective of the USA. The American eagle and Flag are very powerful symbolism.

   I think its beneficial because in Saudi Arabia for example, they do things that usually the US would be against however because we have a good business relationship we ignore those things.

   Yes it is propaganda, it is presenting incomplete information to persuade people about our relationship with the middle east. I would say its harmful because of how little information it is giving and swaying an opinion on a complicated issue.

   I believe this to be a crude piece of propaganda that has a poor message to it. Propaganda is supposed to be reaching out to a lot of people and be agreeable, and this piece is very close-minded and offensive. It doesn't have a goal or the power to change minds or inspire people.

   I don't know if this really aims to persuade a large group of people. I think it is just someone loudly proclaiming their critical opinion. I guess it could appeal to people's emotions by being shocking. It might be slightly beneficial because, however unlikely, if someone sees this post and doesn't know what it is referring to they might actually do some research on the topic.

   The world would be a better place if humans could visualize the consequences of destroying nature better and make an effort to find a way to find a sensible balance.
