A communication tool employed in order to influence the perceptions or beliefs of an individual or a group of people by presenting a one-sided argument. As propaganda is based on biased information, it is not generally an informative tool, but rather an emotional one, cleverly twisting situations to instil a certain distorted belief in an individual or group. Propaganda is used by governments, religious organizations and [[Mass Media|mass media]] to promote an agenda. The term was first associated with the Catholic Church during the 17th Century, but became more associated with politics in the mid-1800s. Propaganda tools were perhaps most infamously used during the Second World War. | A communication tool employed in order to influence the perceptions or beliefs of an individual or a group of people by presenting a one-sided argument.
