Question

How many people can tell the difference between propaganda and real news?

Answer 1

I had to do a paper on this for my college art class. Is propaganda a form of art? Yes, it can be a form of art. It takes really knowing how to manipulate using your chosen form of medium for people to see what you want them to see.

I don't know how many people realize this, but in my opinion the younger generations fall for it more than the older. It's like buying a shade of lipstick because the super model in the commercial says it's fun and will make you look and feel good. Forget the fact that it's not your color or that it bleeds all over your face when the weather is hot.

Answer 2

I don't know, but my 6th-grade friend is learning about it in school.  He was taught 7 (I think) techniques of propaganda, and had to write a propaganda piece using two of them.  He chose "bandwagon" ("everybody's doing it") and "snob appeal," even though his favorite was "name calling."

Answer 3

Probably very few.  Most people just repeat what they hear.

Answer 4

Not very many... Usually the people that can recognize propaganda are very open minded and are also the kind of people that can notice advertisements and not be moved by them.
