Propaganda Reflection

Image
In this quarter, we have been learning about Propaganda.  Propaganda  is the intentional spread of information that can be both true or false to the public with the goal of influencing/persuading public opinion and behavior, but most of them are biased.  This technique simplifies complex issues, mostly in government, uses symbols, and is emotional.

As you can see, from my results, Health Science got the highest score, followed by Architecture and Construction and Government and Public Administration. The reason why Health Science is the highest might be because I told them I like to help others and is patient, but I am still not sure I would like to be a physician, dentists, or a nurse. But I will work hard and find out what I would like to be in the future!
