This past week I have consumed a lot of media concerning the topic of propaganda. For example, for one of my classes I had to watch Obama’s State of the Union address in which he promised all of the things he was going to accomplish in 2016 such as implementing plans for more renewable energy, finding a way to grapple with ISIS and other terrorist groups, etc. Other forms of propaganda that I’ve been exposed to this past week include war propaganda such as what was used during WWII, humorous propaganda such as what is used in The Daily Show with John Stewart, terrorist propaganda such as ISIS beheading videos, etc. Propaganda is all around us but I believe it is an unfair form of media. It is very biased and can be slanted and exaggerated.
