Myth

The second generation would believe this "myth" because according to Socrates the majority of the population would become silver and bronze. This means that many of them don't have the qualities that a ruler would, so more of them would easily believe this myth. They would believe it because since they aren't leaders they don't know what a leader would do so they would be easily influenced.   

Propaganda

This poster was used during WW II to influence the attitude of Americans. The purpose of it was to make Japanese seem threatening. The United States army promoted this type of propaganda.   
Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position. This magazine uses celebrities to promote dieting. By having a celebrity diet it promotes the concept of dieting and makes it a trend.

Justice?

According to Dictionary.com justice is the quality of moral rightness. That is a very ambiguous definition. To me justice is made out of several factors among them are ethic and morals. In cases like  the shooting of Mr. Brown in Ferguson, I don't think justice was really served. I believe this because the officer that shot Mr. Brown didn't suffer severe consequences for his actions. The incident wasn't taken to the level it would have been if the man shot was white and the officer was African American.    I think that it is injustice to judge a case by the pigment of your skin. A crime should be judged by the evidence and the facts, not speculations or theories. It is hard to do this because when judging something you want to be impartial. Although, no matter how much we try that is impossible, emotion is attached to our reasoning in some sort of way. We can say that we do not have an emotional attachment to certain issues, but we do.
