    This is considered propaganda because it shows multiple assumed interpretations of Chicago. This is more of a beneficial piece as it displays Chicago for what the people know it is. They sell this image by relating to the citizens living in Chicago. The emotional appeal present is the relation of being a plainfolk. I can tell because it shows multiple interpretations as opposed to the everyday Chicago citizen

    This qualifies as propaganda because it incites a response immediately after reading it and makes you think. This might be harmful or beneficial depending on your perception of Chicago. This propagandist sells the message by making you come to a conclusion. This type of propaganda is an association. Chicago is being associated with perception - weather positive or negative.

    This shows propaganda because it shows what people assume and what it really is people don't know until you tell them and the assumptions die down

    This qualifies as propaganda because it shows the way people shape their perceptions of Chicago. I wouldn't call this meme a harmful piece of propaganda, in fact I believe in a way it's beneficial because it shows the actual living conditions instead of what people picture themselves. The propagandist sells the message by showing all the different images people picture and what it's really like, that way people who see this feel they're reading a relatable meme. This message would emotionally appeal to plainfolks because most can relate to the situation. People tend to come across stereotypical people in their lifetime, it's just a norm.

    This is propaganda because it shows the many perceptions of Chicago. This is beneficial to society because the real thing isn't what people actually see. They are selling this by using an emotional appeal. the appeal is either self-esteem because the people who are from Chicago are always conscious in what their home looks like.
