Propaganda In My Own Words

Propaganda is an influential source of information for society, however propaganda often has its own agenda based, not on what is best for society necessarily, but more so on what gatekeepers, the media or the government, choose to feed society with. This agenda often appears to lead to a place of idealism and good intentions, from society’s point of view, however the reality may not be so idyllic. Propaganda often uses language and imagery to its advantage, exploiting the power of manipulation that language can be used for, as well as its ability to be subtle and precise.
