"Duck and Cover"

• Overt message: To inform students about the dangers of an atomic bomb and how to react accordingly with the "duck and cover" position.
• Covert message: The government is trying to convince the populace that the atomic bomb isn't nearly as powerful as is true by showing people in the video that arise unharmed from the attack when in reality they would have been vaporized. The purpose of this is to portray the government as powerful as not to cause mass panic among the population.
