Propaganda can serve to rally people behind a cause, but often at the cost of exaggerating, misrepresenting, or even lying about the issues in order to gain that support. While the issue of propaganda often is discussed in the context of militarism, war and war-mongering, it is around us in all aspects of life. At times of war, or build up for war, messages of extremities and hate, combined with emotions of honor and righteousness interplay to provide powerful propaganda for a cause.

Why is propoganda used?

Propaganda is used to influence others of something that's happening/happened or something people think you should do/join.Example: In the American Revolution, patriot colonists were rioting and 'attacking' British troops. One got hurt by a club and fired into the crowd of angry patriots. In the end, 5 colonists died and the British were said to be the only ones at fault. The newspaper title was 'Boston Massacre!' and a picture of unarmed, innocent, helpless colonists being fired at by lined-up British troops, being commanded to shoot all at once.That is and example of propoganda because the patriots stretched the truth (and altered a bit) about the event to get other patriots mad at the British which was part of the American Revolution. Propoganda is still used today. Some companies will stretch the truth (just a bit because it's illegal to lie about your product) about their product to get you to buy it. Also, companies will edit pictures to make them look a lot more appealing to you than it does in real life, so that you will be more likely to buy it. That is propoganda.
