With the launch of a blood supply program in 1941, a critical need for nurses emerged.

This Posters during World War II was designed to instill in people a positive outlook, a sense of patriotism, and confidence. They linked the war in trenches with the war at home. From a practical point, they were used to encourage all Americans to help with the war effort. The posters called on every man, woman, and child to endure the personal sacrifice and domestic adjustments to further the national agenda. They encouraged rationing, conservation, and sacrifice. In addition, the posters were used for recruitment, productivity, and motivation as well as for financing the war effort. The stark, colorful graphic designs elicited strong emotions. The posters played to the fears, frustrations, and faith in freedoms that lingered in people's minds during the war.]]>2023-02-24T18:30:57-05:00

According to Ewing (1977), employee stultification is a feature common to all bureaucracies. As a hierarchy, bureaucracy always seeks control and suppresses freedom inside its structures. Hence, the feelings of despair and suffocation become more prevalent “as the bureaucracy becomes more efficient and the supervisory control systems more advanced”

He may make hundreds of promises...
But all his claims are simple proofs

To clean the air?—He says that we must.
“I’ll put the filters there; my word is like a rock.”
His pledge does not get blown away like dust…
The dust goes down,
His pledge goes up in smoke.
Written on the calendar pages:
“Will stop,” “Won’t do it,” “Promise.”"

They met the savings quotas by hook and crook, and curves,
But for the celebration they ate not just hors d’oeuvres.
Commentary:
The poster criticizes the practice of lavish banquets and receptions common in some organizations—usually, after a successful completion of the year's production plan, or achieving another major objective. In many cases, the plans were hardly carried out, and there was a lot of waste of 6me and resources. The authors concentrate on the contradiction between these attitudes of work ethics and unearned zestful celebration."]]>2023-02-24T18:30:58-05:00

"The theme of the poster is the approachability and accessibility of bureaucratic leaders. It tackles this subject with a great sense of humor. God, depicted in the image of an organization head, tells an angel in the image of a secretary, “Say, ‘There is no God!’” because he does not want to be disrupted while watching an ice hockey game. The cartoon headline “How everything started” hints
at what could be the roots of atheism."

He is just a genius for a shady business deal:
Fake names on the payroll he shows as real.
But for his unreal and illusory luck
In the jail for real he can be long stuck.
The poster refers to the prac6ce of ""dead souls,"" a term coined after the famous novel by Gogol. In order to reach full employment, the Soviet government overstaffed many organizations. Some ""entrepreneurial"" persons managed to take care of business in the organizations with much less people than they had on their payrolls and pocketed the wages of the people who were on the list
only. These people usually were relatives or friends, or other trusted persons, of the managers who took the money. The ""dead souls"" also could be people who did not work anywhere but needed to have some working experience recorded in their papers in order to be eligible for some benefits (e.g. social security). They could work somewhere else and give all the money to the manager, or could split the money between them—depending upon circumstances."

In 1941, as it became clear that the nation was heading into World War II, several organizations mobilized to support the growing U.S. military: the Salvation Army, Young Men’s Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association, National Catholic Community Services, National Travelers Aid Association and the National Jewish Welfare Board.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt created synergy among these agencies by forming the United Service Organizations, with the objective of providing the emotional support the troops needed.
Over time, the USO has evolved, developing new programs and services to meet the ever-changing needs of the troops and their families, while holding fast to the original mission.]]>2023-02-24T18:30:58-05:00
