The article i will be using as my artifact will be the number 12 poster on https://designschool.canva.com/blog/examples-of-propaganda/. When I looked at this propaganda poster, i immediately picked this poster because to me it represents unity when we stand together as one. I choose to use this article as an  artifact for my research paper because the story on my research paper represents how people discriminate towards other people based on the stereotypes that they hear about specific types of people. I would be comparing this artifact to the discrimination points on my research paper, which the discriminating points is based on non-unified people that discriminate towards other people of opposite ethnicities. The method i will be applying in my research paper will be ideological criticism. the Ideological criticism method points to the way civilizations views certain topics and challenges the status quo. Ideological criticism as well identifies the power dimensions and reveals hidden ideologies about how our society viewed racial equality in the past. In my research paper, i will be applying how ideological criticism plays a part in the artifact i'm using when it comes down to seeing how racial discrimination is carried out on to others in other countries because of the stereotypes that have been spread from the past to this very day. This  method is appropriate to me because since this method identifies power dimensions and reveals hidden ideologies abut how our society viewed racial equality in the past, i can compare it to the artifact i found tell how racial equality has changed and the racial discrimination stereotypes that takes place in other countries while the minority citizens end up receiving no justice for the harmful things that have happened to them. For example, the artifact i'm using captions describes how there are different color British citizens that have united together at the time of war but in the caption it also tells how they all disregard skin color and just worry about staying united as one at the time of war. I can use ideological criticism to show how racial equality has changed from that on to the time now. Through telling how ideological criticism was back then when viewing how people of different ethnicities, i will compare it to how ideological criticism is seen on the different racial views on minority people in the world today, especially in other countries and describe how it has changed from then and to now. Then i will describe how ideological criticism plays a big role in why the hatred of people in the world today continues to spread and why different people see different views on each other and other ethnicities of people in other countries, especially if their the opposite color of another race. Due to the hatred that still takes place today, it is harder for the world to come together and be a better place because of all the differences that races of people have towards one another.
