Propaganda is communication using all available media aiming to influence the attitude of a community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument.
It was first used by the Catholic Church in 1622, but it was first used in modern settings ate the outbreak of WW1 in 1914.
Both the British and German governments dramatically increased their output of propaganda to persuade their citizens of the justness of their cause and the inevitability of their victory and to encourage them to volunteer for the army.
However its use was brought to a pinnacle in WW2 by the Nazi anti Semitic propoganda of Joseph Goebbels.

∙ 8y agoI think if anything Hollywood has shown that it is a house of innovation and not necessarily a propaganda machine. I think films have proven to be a forum of entertainment and thought. They general underline the goodness of humanity, not its worst. While some films may contain propaganda it is far from its worst.

∙ 8y agois a form of communication, often biased or misleading in nature, aimed at influencing and altering the attitude of a population toward some cause, position or political agenda in an effort to form a consensus to a standard set of belief patterns. Propaganda is information that is not impartial and used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively (perhaps lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information presented. While the term propaganda has acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and jingoistic examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral and could refer to uses that were generally positive, such as public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to law enforcement.
