Propaganda the use of information
to create a opinion in the favor of the party presenting it. This is being use today. With all the talk
about elections we are seeing poetical adds everywhere and they are very much propaganda.
They use them to get votes and for companies to get buyers.
Techniques of propaganda show us
that it can be effective. Picket signs in people’s front yard show both a Glittering
generation and a bandwagon because you see a lot of who your friends are voting
for. This year I hear a lot of plain folk. The potations are trying to sound
like they understand my situation. Which they don’t!
We see a lot of books use propaganda
in there settings to add to the fact that the main charater is standing up to
something. Harry does this in the harry potter book by keeping his faith in
himself and Dumbledore while the daily prophet tries them apart. In the hunger games, Katniess falls for the propaganda
and joins the rebellion because they appeal to her feeling of lost of home and
safety after the capitol burns district twelve.
Now politician aren’t the only ones
who use propaganda. Big companies use it to. Those ads that are just odd are
trying to sell you something. Weather it threw card stacking or testimonies. To
avoid falling for propaganda you need to do your own researcher, and ask yourself
why am I buying this? These points and
the link above can help you identify and stop yourself from falling from the truth.
