Propaganda 2011

Propaganda is information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation,etc. Propaganda has always been used for good or bad. Nowadays it is used a lot. All the ads and commercials are propaganda and you see it all over the place. It is like you can not escape propaganda. It is everywhere. It is in the streets, on the TV, on the radio, and on the internet. A lot of companies  have ads or commercials because they want more people to buy their products but the things they are selling might not always be good. There are a lot of beer commercials and it shows people having a good time and enjoying themselves but they never show the results of drinking and by doing that they make a lot of people think drinking alcohol is okay. Fast food restaurants are something else that does this. McDonald's use kids getting happy meals. This makes the kids watching the commercials want happy meals making the parents buy it for them. Another factor is that the happy meals come with toys. But in reality McDonald's is bad for you body and by making kids start eating from such a young age is like getting them addicted to it and not being able to stop.
