Grasping the Concept of Propaganda
A concept that another team presented, that I both learned a lot about and intrigued me was Propaganda. Growing up during middle and high school in history classes, we touched a little about what propaganda was and why was it used. But I never realized or knew before how connected propaganda was to World War One. World Word one made propaganda more dramatized and showed the power it also had. Since the very beginning of the use of propaganda, it has been used in a way to misguide information and statements on posters and signs. Even though some people may assume that it is modern and newer propaganda has been around for a long time and has been used to grab individual’s attention by being misleading. Since it started being used it has changed throughout the years by being used for many different purposes.
Even though it was first used at the start of World War One, eventually it was then used for the media too. Propaganda style of a way of communicating to grab people’s attention was then used for TV shows, radio shows, films, and even cartoons. Recently, in today's era, propaganda can be viewed as being negative in respect it is a way of manipulating individuals. Since the words could be misleading since they could not show the correct facts or all the information that should be present. A topic that has been thrown around and been discussed a lot in the past year is fake news. This corresponds to the use of propaganda because it includes not the full story or information. Also, in today’s society, propaganda has been used frequently in political campaigns and ways to get people’s attention for both political parties. Propaganda has been around for a long time and it continues to adapt and change throughout the years.
