XI. THE MECHANICS OF PROPAGANDA
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our
ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.
—Richard Alan Nelson, A Chronology and Glossary of Propaganda in the United States, 1996
LOL axed up your nuts thats hee larry usyour example of Axe spray is not propaganda thats simply marketing.
propaganda does relate to reefer madness and the false shit the government tries to feed us, but even that is not really propaganda its simply the law being backed up by excuses.
a good example of real propaganda is usually found in war or politics. one example is during World War II, when the Americans were about to invade Okinawa and mainland Japan. The Japanese government lied to their own people and spread propaganda that the americans were savages who would rape and pillage them. They spread this through radio messsages and pictures of US G.I.s roasting japanese children. This is real deal propaganda because they are spreading the total opposite of the truth. This propaganda also had direct consequences, many japanese committed suicide before the americans invaded. Some even murdered their own families, they would jump off cliffs instead of being capture by the Americans, who would have given them help and food if they surrendered.
In the case of Axe or Reefer Madness, its not all entirely false misguided information. Maybe 5% of reefer madness is true, marijuana can give you cancer, blah blah blah. And some girls do like AXE smell i know this because my ex always told me to shower with that shit because she liked going down on me after i axe'd my nuts up LOL.
Hope that helps with your paper...
