Propaganda is information that is biased to promote one point of view. Propaganda is mostly used during political campaigns. It is one of the most widely used and effective political tactics. It gives its user the opportunity to move people to action in both positive and negative ways, by either bringing fame or shame to a selected person or idea. Propaganda is used to sell a candidate or a belief to the public, by ruining the opponent’s chances of winning, or by falsely advertising an idea of their own as better than one of their opponents.
Propaganda in today’s urban world is everywhere, taking on many forms found in magazines, newspapers, smart phone applications, and billboards. It is not bounded to what we may only think as being used as radical, totalitarian persuasion by countries that are very different from our own. Ann McClintock defines propaganda as “a systematic effort to influence people’s opinions, to win them over to a certain view or side.” We certainly saw during World War II, but propaganda is arguably more popular now than ever before, and the companies are skillfully using techniques they know will draw their customers in.

"Propaganda consists of the planned use of any form of public or mass-produced communication designed to affect the minds and emotions of a given group for a specific purpose, whether military, economic, or political" (Levinson). Propaganda is used to gain the support of its viewers on an issue by either false or misleading information.
Propaganda, a form of communication, uses a variety of techniques to persuade a population in a negative or positive way toward an idea, position, or political agenda. This goal is often achieved by using misleading information. This use of advertising forms an opinion or set of beliefs and ideas in the audience’s mind that the creator of the piece is attempting to formulate. The 1942 World War II poster, Rosie the Riveter, is a prime example of propaganda due to the portrayal of a strong, leading woman that persuaded millions of women into joining the United States workforce during war time. With the help of this poster, the number of working women rose from 14.6 million to 19.4 million in just 3 years (Shmoop Editorial Team, 2008).
“Propaganda is a monologue that is not looking for an answer, but an echo” (Audren, W.H). Power can make a man do many things. When power is left in the hands of people, hungry for their names to be the next god, they will defy every rule in order to achieve their goal. The use of lies and bending the truth in order to gain sustenance from others come into play. At this point the device of propaganda is used through the several ways in order to confirm the lies told. Propaganda is a tool widely used to lure people into believing things that may not always be true- Joseph Stalin used this tactic in various ways to keep his reign on the soviet as does the infamous terrorist group, ISIS; George Orwell portrays this message successfully by using the character Napoleon and his trustee, Squealer, to feed his citizens lies of his past and future of the farm.

The MTA advertisement “New Yorkers Keep New York Safe”, released on March 2016, shows how propaganda influences commuters to combat terrorism by ‘saying something’.
The way the media sways us about how to think or how we should feel about a given situation. Often covering the truth and hiding the facts. One of the goals in propaganda is to set the mindset of the people to align with the goal of a current power, such as a government or a ruling party.

What does the word propaganda really mean? For most of us we assume that it is a word for negativity use. Just to assure those that think of propaganda as a negative word. Propaganda does have a positive objective if used correctly. The word propaganda is defined in a few different ways, But in the most general usage, it varies from bad to good persuasion of our minds.

Bush and Dick Cheney used primarily every sort of propaganda to influence the citizens; therefore, our national society needs to develop awareness in the propaganda used by such politicians so that they can make wise decisions intelligently.
When a person sees a new advertisement or commercial for their favorite shoe company, they immediately want to go and check out their latest designs. Similarly, propaganda uses different sources of media to encourage people to buy a certain item that will benefit their country or an organization. Propaganda was used in World War II to encourage citizens to buy certain tools or participate in certain events to help the soldiers fighting. Both video and radio advertisements were used by the Allied and Axis powers to encourage citizens to aid the war effort, resulting in a rise of nationalism and resentment towards opposing sides.
From any corner in the world you will be surrounded by propaganda: in the streets, in your house, even when you’re driving. Propaganda appears in many forms but I personally believe it to be the shaping of public beliefs, in which communication is used with the intention of manipulating. In short, propaganda is the art of brainwash. This form of art has been going for many centuries and has played an important role in the history of art, especially during the 20th century in which propaganda was used to persuade people to join the military service or to stand for their countries during wartime. At that time the objective was only one, nowadays there is more than one objective; how does propaganda influence the way 21st century society pre-establishes ideas and makes contradictions within taboos such as tattoos, marijuana and sexuality?
“Negative advertising gets the supporters committed and excited” (Bike 1). What Bike is trying to say is that negative advertisement gets people excited and wanting to look into that specific person. This essay is going to be about how negative advertisement should be allowed. People should have the right to pledge whatever they want to pledge in. “ A ban on negative political advertising would open the political world up to those who don’t want to be expose themselves to media bullies” (Admin 2). I believe that if people are scared to expose themselves then they must have something to hide. Even though negative things said about those candidates are not true, I believe that negative political advertisement should be allowed because negative advertisement makes people want to look more into that specific candidate and we are emotionally attached to negativity.
