This is a piece of Soviet Communist propaganda, arguing that communist farmers in Russia
are happy, healthy, sharing their wealthy equally, and high-tech. Its goal is to attract people
from poorer regions of Europe to Soviet communism. According to the packet
, what does
propaganda like this have to do with social responsibility in the United States
?
O It led to the development of political social responsibility in the US because it shamed 20th-Century
American politicians into concerning themselves with the needs and concerns of the poorest,
most
marginal citizens. American politicians could not let the USSR seem to be more socially responsible
than the US.
It lead to greater interest in social responsibility in the 20th-century United States in order to defend
against the lure of communism. After WWII, Soviet propaganda proved alluring to regions of the
world damaged by the conflict. In this context. Americans began to realize that attention to social
responsibility - working for social good and paying attention to the needs and wants of others - could
be valuable and strategically important.
It delayed the emergence of social responsibility in American history, as it led United States politicians
to double-down on anti-communist behaviors to prove they were against the Soviet Union.
O It lead to incredibly restrictive behavior in the United States in the 20th century after American
politicians concluded that people were receptive to the idea of regulations in the name of social
justice. Because of propaganda like this. American social responsibility took a nearly totalitarian turn
in the early mid-twentieth century
