Introduction

 

Lessons learned from History are often ignored, does this make their repetition inevitable?

In addition, when lessons are learned does that mean we should abide by them above all else?

This website uses 3 Movies to trace the patterns of lessons and there effects on propaganda through out history specifically; World War II, Vietnam, and the current 'Silent Revolution' taking place in the third world.

 

 

 

There is a distinct pattern in world history of overcompensation for past mistakes, resulting in policy makers having a narrow view of the world. Specifically, during the event of war, decision-makers through out the world have stringently applied lessons learned from history to current moments in time not always resulting in the best possible outcome. How can this be remedied? What are some past lessons learned form history? How does the context of a period effect methods of propagation? Is the method of propagation effected by a populaces response to a previous period in history?
