What message do both the book and radio play of the war of the worlds attempt to share with their audience?

War of the Worlds played with the fear of the known, like the war and invasion, and the unknown, like the things that come to Earth. One of the messages that you can collect from it is "what "our" people will think is they were invaded like our people invaded other communities/civilizations?"

The fear of the people to this story is clearly shown after the panic and hysteria that a radio play caused in 1938 between their listeners.

it would most likely be b. your welcome.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
