Propaganda Reflection

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. They often have a slogan or a speech that is easy to remember. Propaganda can be used for good and bad. But these days, they are mostly used to promote government policies and used by companies to promote their products. For example, Testimonial is an advertising technique where a famous well-known person supports a product.

Then, we learned how to use these types of propaganda in our summative poster and an ad to convince people to join our colony. And we ended it with a small quiz.
