A comprehension on a satisfactory level of the function and mechanisms of propaganda makes you a better citizen. I always believed that propaganda should be taught in high-schools. My definition of this term is simply to disseminate a message to people through specific mediums. For many there’s no negative sign before this noun. It’s the use of it that can be characterized as positive or negative. Propaganda evolved into a science during the 20th century. Two names easily stand out: the great Vladimir Lenin and his most successful “disciple”, Dr. Joseph Goebbels. Most propaganda techniques and methods still used today were created or perfected by those two masterminds.
