What is propaganda?
Information, especially about biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view. - Oxford Dictionary
What is the difference between propaganda and advertisements?
While advertisements are made to make the audience want to purchase products, propaganda is made to make the audience believe something. Also, advertisements are more of a short-term deal, and propaganda lasts for a longer period of time.
Why do we need to know propaganda?
We must learn to be aware of propaganda, because there is propaganda everywhere. All governments use propaganda whether it is to convince the citizens that smoking is not a healthy habit, or to convince the citizens that another country is a horrible place, and in order to be critical and independent, we must be aware of the techniques the governments use to make us believe certain things.
