Propaganda

(27/02/2012) Do you know how to make wrong things right? Just sprinkle a bit of propaganda on it And let’s wait for it to be absorbed The taste will affect how you burp Propaganda can drag you to your zero And guide onto what they want you think it is Want some proofs? Some might think Hitler was a hero Need more examples? On the other case, how about Osama’s fame? How many people had shared his demonic brain pattern? Or to flip it up, Did you think he was dangerous if media hadn't chased his tail? They say Saddam Hussein was an evil Do you have any idea he was a hero for his people? What about Mao Zedong? Or even Lenin and Stalin? They were sure three persons shared one hell’s praline Those people were mean, but try to count their lovers How massive it was how they manipulated their bloopers From speed up hoax to media coverage Propaganda leans on people with money and power So, peek in to both sides of propaganda leverage Before you become victim of news platter --------------------------------------------- *Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. They can be manifested in the form of posters, nonobjective news coverage, etc. Usually propaganda used in politics to affect people of the country that what they do is the right things and for their sake. It is very interesting to study propaganda (for me :D), they can be affected by idiosyncratic of a leader and also education level of the citizen. The more educated they are, the more they will be saved from propaganda. As they can analyse things from both sides.

Perhaps the word propaganda could be expanded to lies and deception. A time write Dinda to prick the conscience of thos who indulge.

I am very well read on Mao's propanganda machine..infiltrating the Chinese youth and causing them to tattle and bring shame and torture to those who wouldn't discard "the old" ways of China. It just disgusts me...Hitler's propag machine was equally as evil...how could folks be so naive?..or were they afraid of death...

An interesting take on the theme of the contest.Yes propaganda can do such things.And also every thing is relative.A man may be hero to someone but a Zero to other.Thanks for the new Avatar!
