Interrogation of Ashala Wolf

First, one must define propaganda and since many have done so already, I shall use the Sheryl Ross model. Her model defines propaganda as “an epistemically defective message designed with the intention to persuade a socially significant group of people on behalf of a political institution, organization, or cause.”

We live in a world of technological innovation where mass media is a major part of us today. People make assumptions on what they hear. They do not try to analyze the situation to see who is right and who is wrong, and mass media is the main source of manipulating one's mind. The concept of propaganda has changed over time. Propagandists create ideas stereotypically through the use of propaganda and use media to promote it and target people's minds to have influence on their views towards a certain group of people. These ideas create negative or positive images in the intended audience's minds. However, it is notable that the information is only the one that is exemplified through media and therefore, can be

Propaganda has been present for generations. Whether it’s in politics or if it’s just used for advertising, it has mostly been used to publicize a certain view, or ideology. It has also been used many different times in history, but perhaps most notably in times of war. During these times, countries involved will promote bias ideologies in order to seem superior from their opposition. This is perhaps more evident during WWII, when devices such as the radio and the telegraph made it easier to promote false ideas to the people. This was used to the benefit of both the allies and the axis powers, as they used multiple different propaganda techniques to influence public opinion toward their enemies and promote nationalism.

When you usually hear the word ‘Propaganda’ negative thoughts may come to your mind. Actually, propaganda is a form of communicating that is aimed at influencing the attitude toward a community. Usually it’s aimed towards some cause or position presenting only one side of an argument. It is also normally used and introduced in many various ways. Propaganda uses techniques and any means to persuade someone towards a certain way of thinking. It can be found in writing, music, and movies. The primary goal is to get their opinion warranted and capture the interest of the audience.

Propaganda is information, ideas, or rumors made and compelled to change the way to are thinking about a certain subject, usually a political subject. Propaganda usually does not tell the truth about other countries strategy in war and what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. Propaganda was used mainly during WWII and WWI to promote nationalism in countries. This idea was extremely effective, and very well could have started WWII.

“How media is presented truly interferes with the way we understand text and ideas [that are] struggling to be

In our modern day society, it is extremely common for one idea to be represented in many different ways. Both Nicholas Carr’s article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” and M.T Anderson’s novel Feed, the broad idea of the relationship between humans and technology is portrayed. Carr’s article complains of how technology changes the way we think. Carr instigates the idea that we are losing our passion for learning as a result of the internet and search engines such as Google. These advancements, Carr proposes, lead to a world where our intelligence “flattens into artificial intelligence”. In a similar fashion, Anderson’s fictional novel addresses a set of characters who live on our planet at an arbitrary time in the future. These characters, or at least most of them, have their lives completely controlled by technology, in the form of an implanted chip, which represents to its followers the feed, a social networking site of sorts that is all-encompassing. The story shows how these technological advancements have irreversibly changed the world of the characters, where the characters are not themselves without technology. Both pieces extensively address the relationship between man and technology. While the article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid” and the novel Feed stem from two completely different genres, both pieces encapsulate the idea that technology is leading to a loss of individuality among people.

Propaganda is a message that comes from a person of power and superiority, the message seeks to control what people believe or at least influence their opinions. Propaganda is all about ideologies, people who use propaganda want their audience to know that their principles are superior and correct. Before propaganda takes place, it must come from a person of high status such as a President, government official, a God, and even businesses.

Propaganda is a word used for advertising, spreading ideas, and spreading opinions. There are many types of propaganda that everyone sees almost every day with many ways to show it, the bandwagon effect, the common folk, the name-calling, and many more. You see it as advertising for companies, or for politics. You see propaganda everywhere and may not even know it.

According to Qualter, “propaganda is thus defined as the deliberate attempt by some individual or group to form, control, or alter the attitudes of other groups by the use of the instruments of communication, with the intention that in any given situation the reaction of those so influenced will be that desired by the propagandist.” The existence of a clear purpose of propaganda is the key to understanding what propaganda is; Qualter’s definition is compelling because he specifically identified the reason why propagandists want to shape public opinions and he points out the means of how do propagandists form, control and alter public attitudes. Propagandists try to make the public think and feel in certain ways because the mood of the public

A word propaganda has no any clearly definition however, it always tries to persuade a message and give specific influence to the targeted audience.

Propaganda is a powerful tool that groups, or individuals use to gain or maintain power. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Catholic church used propaganda to gain power through Europe and maintain order even in the most turbulent times. In current times, powerful companies and government leaders use propaganda to increase profits and gain power. Even in our current information age, it is important to look at what is being shown and how much of something is being shown. In both times, propaganda is used to manipulate how people interact with the political, social, and cultural aspects of their lives and society.

The article “Mass Over Mass Media” is written by Steven Pinker. Pinker is a professor in Psychology at Harvard University who focusses on visual cognation and psychology in language. He is well known for The Language Instinct & How the Mind Works. He was also listed as one of the most influential people out of 100 in the world. Also, he is known for his ongoing debate over how the internet has affected our world. Furthermore, author Steven Pinker, states his thesis in a peculiar way by stating that people often react in a rash way and make negative assumptions when it comes to inventions and their impacts. All forms of media have the power to draw a person in but that person must control themselves by using the information without abusing it. Consequently, social media and the internet have had a major impact on our daily lives from the way we work to the way we learn and socialize.

First and foremost, we must understand the concept of propaganda and mass media in contemporary world. According to Noam Chomsky, and Edward S. Herman on “Manufacturing Consent: The political Economy of the Mass Media” propaganda model was defined as
