Propaganda 2011

Propaganda is used in our world today to persuade people to believe something. It is a classic technique used by many publications all over the world. While it may seem like an antiquated technique, it is still widely used in 2011. 

A more common example in America is of the war in Iraq and the terrorists in our time in general. We only ever hear one side of the story. The side that says they are killing innocent Americans. While this is true, we have to see both sides.  Never do we really hear other sides of the story. This is a propaganda that we have been shown. It makes a majority of us believe that there is a reason for the war that we are in and to not sympathize with the people we are fighting. 

This idea of showing people a certain view has worked in the past many times and propaganda is a good way to get people to start to support a cause. This method will continue to be used throughout the world for a long time.
