Propaganda is biased information intentionally spread to shape public opinion and behavior.

Statements about Propaganda Propaganda contains true, partially true, or blatantly false information. Propaganda may selectively omit information. Propaganda simplifies complex issues or ideas. Propaganda plays on emotions. Propaganda uses a variety of media (including symbols, images, words, music). Propaganda may be used to advertise a cause, organization, or movement and attack opponents. All advertising is propaganda. Propaganda can only be put to negative purposes. Propaganda seeks agreement, not reasoned argument. Propaganda is used to brainwash people. Propaganda works with our conscious and unconscious hopes, fears, and desires. Propaganda gives permission to a targeted audience to think, speak, and act a certain way.

Statements about Propaganda All advertising is propaganda. Propaganda is an appeal to emotion, not intellect or rational thought, and often contains deception. Advertising is biased information intentionally spread, but does not contain deception or an appeal to emotion.

Statements about Propaganda Propaganda is used to brainwash people. Brainwashing: The use of isolation, mind-clouding techniques, sleep deprivation, and malnutrition to persuade someone to completely change personality/thoughts/actions

Statements about Propaganda “Many psychologists believe that large- scale brainwashing via the mass media and subliminal messages, for instance—is not possible because the thought process requires isolation and absolute dependence of the subject in order to be effective. It’s just not that easy to change a person’s core personality and belief system.” -Julia Layton

The real danger of propaganda lies when competing voices are silenced—and unchecked propaganda can have negative consequences. Propaganda alone cannot win wars or transform thinking human beings into mindless automatons. The Nazis sold more than hate…they promoted an agenda of freedom, unity, and prosperity.
