Propaganda

 
Propaganda is well known for its power and influence. As shown through major events such as WW2 and the holocaust. Hitler made Nazism and all his ideas on superiority spread out throughout his empire when he was in power. It not only gave him his name and his image of wealth but also gave him his strength as many fear and failed to fight against him and his ideas. Propaganda was an essential part of getting the help of a community as well. People became so readily identifiable with propaganda, the very words or images that were said tend to give American soldiers and people the very same attitude towards the one being talked about or criticized. In the last century propaganda has spread widely and now seen and called everything from "psychological warfare" to "information operations" to today's term "psychological operations". 

Many now would prefer not to use the word propaganda as it now is seen and connected to have negative connotations. But as a whole propaganda itself is neither sinister nor evil. It is really no more than the organization of methods designed to persuade people to think and behave in a certain way, and in wartime that usually means getting them to fight or to support the fight. It was the ability to command attention for a product or idea and promote its image of this.

Though in the past it was an associated with a bad thing. Propaganda today is now used advertisement. There are many commercials and advertisements billboards or even bus stops that show propaganda but though company dont want to say they use this this is continually still in use today.
