Propaganda is used in today's society with politics. Many signs were put up to advertise different contributer in the election to encourage citizens to vote for them. It is used to persuade people to either vote for a certain person or to avoid voting for them at all.

They use it in adds, news papers, news channels, buisness, ect...

Propaganda is used in many ways in today's society. It can is used for buisnesses and promoting things or even people. For example, in some newspapers say good things about presidential candidates, or some sports stars. Propaganda isn't only used to promote things though. Some types of propaganda make you think that some things or people are bad or not as good as others. Many times, propaganda and advertisements only give you one side of the story. There are many different ways that propaganda is used in today's society.

Using propaganda is part of how our society runs. We use it to either try to advertise our beliefs, or to sabatage others. A very good example would be politics. When people are campaigning, there are poeple that write articles about certain politians. Depending on who is writing the article and who that person favors, The article would most likely, in a way, to seem to push the reader to changing their minds on who to vote for. They either point out all the good things about their favored person and point out faults that the opponent has.

Propaganda is used in many ways in todays society. It is used to promote or demote items or ideas. It is used in ads, commercials, newspapers, and many more. Propaganda when used to promote something well make the product seem good and sometimes "perfect", on the contrast, when propaganda is used to demote something, it will say that the product is a waste of your time, a useless thing, and more. There are many uses in propanganda these days whether it is to promote or demote an item.

One way propaganda is used in our society is business. One example of using propaganda in business is when they sell things. If you look at newspapers or tv, they say that things that they make is the best and they try to make people only buy things from them. Other businesses would think that the businesses that says that their things are the best would most likely think that propaganda is bad. But the businesses who uses propaganda to help themselves advertise will most likely think that propaganda is good. So the solution is that propaganda can be used in both negative and positive way.

H.W: Propaganda:
In today's society, Propaganda is used in advertisings. For example, today in class, I found an ad which said that other stores can't beat their stores. Also Paraganda was used for president election. They do things good for their nation to make the people want to vote for him or her.

Propaganda today:
Propaganda is used when avertisers want to sell something. They saw certain things that will try to convince you to buy it.
When it comes to politics, people who are running to be president are trying to convince you to vote for them by convincing you that all the promises that they tell you will be made.

Ashley said...

Propaganda is used is commericals and many other things in newspapers and etc. Avertisers try to persuade custiomers into selling their products. They kind of stretch the truth a little bit.

Propaganda is used commonly in todays society. The most common use is in Politics. Propaganda is used commonly in advertising and sports as well. It is mainly used not in any single location. Propaganda is usually on tv depending on what it's about. For example, Propaganda is being used in this year's presidental elections.It is being used by telling information about canadates that may or may not be true.

propaganda is used today in advertisements, news (to make us believe the way the reporters see what they have found),politics (to make vote for the one particular person they are representing, by stretching the truth about what they are doing for us. To make it seem like they are doing the best for us then the rest), it is also used in small things like arguments among friends. Both friends from one side of the problem will tell the friend that is acquainted to both that the other seems worser than the other. So they make you choose one friend that you will stick with.

Anthony Drew said...

Propaganda is used in many things like a book or something. Elections use propaganda is use in every thing people look. Arcticles are mostly propaganda and images of people. Even I'm using a propaganda.

Propaganda is used a lot in today's society to persuade people into different things. Today in the newspaper, I read about five different articles trying to persuade me into thinking differently or to buy something. Propaganda is used for poltics. In the newspaper, there are political comics, making fun of the candidates.

Propaganda is used in today's society. It can be used to promote or demote places. For example newspapers review restaurants and say whether the food is good or bad. If a critic says the food is bad at a restaurant you most likely won't go their.

Michelle said...

Propaganda is used today in businesses and anything they are trying to sell to you. It's used to get people to buy whatever they are selling. It's like lying to them in a way, but it's like a white lie because your convincing them to but it not exactly lying to them. One example would be if you were buying a laptop the business who is trying to sell you a laptop at a high price would give you all these reasons on why you need the laptop, Why you should have it, how it can help you and why you should buy it. They all tell you these things to get to buy what they are selling... and that's Propaganda. So it's used to help sell things to people and convince people to buy what they are selling you.

Propaganda is now used as selling and commercials f6r stores or as they use it now, for presidential campaigns. I read in the newspaper an article about Obama and his presidental campaign, it showed propaganda and it was mostly lieing which is what propaganda really is. Propaganda is actually the spanish word for Commercial.

I say that propaganda is used in the news papers of today's society because they want you to belive thing so they get out of troble or get some one into troble. For example they had a story on friday about roger clements and how his trainer found the needles when other people say he was involed. That is why when you read the news paper always get to sides and then try to get the truth. From my point of veiw I say he used it a little but everyone was evoled and look at roger clement he can't go 2 innings without he arm hurting. I say he pays a fine and that is good for now. That is my blog post on propaganda.

Propagandas are used in today's society with politics. A lot of signs are put out to make people feel like they need that thing. Just like the elections the people who are running for president they want you to feel as tho they are the right people for it and they are putting up signs saying vote for Hilary or vote for that other guy. Some people even put up signs that are suppose to be mean. Also a propaganda can also be something that people are trying to change the world.

notsosmart said...

propoganda is used in todays society by stores and many tellemarketers like when they say that you get something for free if you buy what they are offering.

I think that Propaganda is used life today in tv commercials. For example, in the commercials for like napkins wen it shows one kind op napkin and another one cleaning up the same mess and it shows how one of them cleans it up better. I think thats like trying to persuade people that kind of napkin.

todays propaganda is used in the same way it was used many years ago it is used to either lie or over dramatize a certain subject. For example the issue in the newspaper about how a child got his toe stuck on an escalator while he just happened to be wearing crocs so they decided to try and ban them; personally I blame the parents in this part because they willingly decided to let their child out of their sight on an escalator which is pretty stupid considering the ignorance of children around the age of two who don't know what can hurt them and what can't. Just because the parents were foolish doesn't mean a company should go out of business, not that I don't feel sorry for the kid but if his parents were just a little bit more careful he wouldn't have lost the skin on his toe. I bet that if the child was wearing Sketchers or Jordan's they would try to ban those too. I don't support over protective parents but these are the kind of parents who let their kid go out to late night parties without being told and hardly give them a scolding. This is an example of how propaganda is used today

Propogada is deffinitley used in society today. For example, in commercials and advertisments companys will tell you what you want to hear to purchase their products. Also with presidential elections. Different canidates will tell you different ideas so you can vote for them. Propoganda can be used with personal issues, making someone look worse than others.

propaganda is used in today's society to raise popularity or to degrade someone or something. They use it in adds the news , commercials, the newspapers and or sometimes even write books about it. People used to degrade the popularity of Britney Spears on TV, magazines, and on TV by saying that she was amisfit because of the use of drugs, and that she lost custody of her kids.

Propaganda is used by government by encouraging people to join the army. By advertising the armny in commercials and websites the government makes it look like fighting is fun.
Companies use advertising to tell you their products are better than others.

Propaganda is used with everything in our everyday lives. Many people use propaganda for themselves and it often creates caos. I agree with lawrence when he said that propaganda is used in ads, news papers, businesses, etc.. A good definition of propaganda is "stretching the truth." Usually when people want to encourage or promote something, they use propaganda to help them out even though all of the information that they are giving is not 100% correct/true.
