SORU:

What is propaganda?


CEVAP:

Propaganda could be defined as the “more or less systematic effort” to influence other people’s “beliefs, attitudes, or actions by means of symbols”, such as “words, gestures, banners, monuments, music, clothing, insignia, hairstyles, stamps”, etc. (https://www.britannica.com/ topic/propaganda). Although various definitions of propaganda have acquired negative connotations in the twentieth century, it had more neutral meaning during much of the history. Since propaganda was especially effective tool of foreign policy during the war and pre-war times in the 20th century (Both the First and Second World Wars as well as the Cold War), it came to be associated closely in the view of the general public with manipulating populations at home and abroad.
