Propaganda has been used since the beginning of time. It is basically a type of message aimed at influencing the behavior, opinions and decisions of people. Propaganda doesn't necessary has to have morals and is often misleading or exaggerated. Propaganda is mainly used in politics and takes it cue from public relations and advertising.
Advertising and public relations can also be termed as types of propaganda because they exaggerate the truth behind products and individuals.
Other than advertising and public relations, another type of propaganda is for influencing opinions and decisions on religious issues. One another of the types of propaganda is used by the ruling government. The various public information campaigns by the government can be termed as a type of propaganda.
Propaganda can be sent across in many and all types of media. Propaganda can be radio and television broadcasts, leaflets, posters, hoardings, so on and so forth. The techniques of propaganda include books, leaflets, movies, radio, television, government reports, news reports, paid news reports and historical revision. Here are some examples of the techniques of propaganda.
Propaganda is mainly used during wars and similar situations of grave danger and strive. One early example is the 'Destroy Old World And Build New' poster in China. The poster depicted a worker destroying various religious symbols, like the Buddha, the crucifix and ancient Chinese texts with a hammer.
Propaganda has been used extensively since time incarnate. Here are some examples of the various types of Propaganda used.
Maybe the one institution that used propaganda intensely was the Nazis. Adolf Hitler was of the belief that the Allied won the World War 1 due to the power of propaganda and therefore had a Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Journalists and Broadcasters required prior approval before the dissemination of their work took place. As a result, the Nazis had produced a number of books and films to spread their belief and change public opinion. There were also countless posters during the Nazi regime which glorified the Nazi rule and went ahead to describe the American liberators as monsters.
Comics have been the main attraction of propaganda artists over the years. While almost every storyline has some or the other propaganda ingredient in it, it is quickly and subtly instilled into the public mind due to the entertainment factor. American patriots donning the super-hero costume to save the world are not very uncommon themes in superhero comics. Almost every patriotic hero, be it Captain America or Superman has had to combat villains of different ethnicity.
There have been a number of posters which can be termed as propaganda regarding the army.Maybe the most famous example of Propaganda is the 'Lord Kitchener Wants You' poster of 1914. The poster was aimed at the Britons with Lord Kitchener ordering them to join the country's army.This kind of poster is a type of the Direct Order technique of propaganda.During the Vietnam War, the the Viet-Cong soldiers were termed as 'gooks'. This is an example of the propaganda technique known as 'demonizing the enemy', in which the enemy is generally described as a worthless or immoral enemy.
Glittering generalities is another type of propaganda technique. This technique is mainly used in advertising, with a particular company creating a illusion that their product is better than their competitors on no particular grounds. One famous example of this kind of propaganda
technique is Ford's 'Ford Has A Better Idea' ad campaign.
The Chewbacca defence propaganda technique has varied examples in the modern world. This technique has been defined as speaking something so completely nonsensical and irrelevant to the topic on hand that nobody listens further. It was recently used by Dinesh D'Souza in his criticism for the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
