Detailed explanation-1: -What is propaganda? Propaganda is the dissemination of information-facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies-to influence public opinion. Deliberateness and a relatively heavy emphasis on manipulation distinguish propaganda from casual conversation or the free and easy exchange of ideas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Propaganda is used to promote a particular agenda or point of view. The goals of propaganda can vary, but common goals include shaping people’s opinions, convincing them to support a particular cause or political candidate, or encouraging them to behave in a certain way.

Detailed explanation-3: -Persuasion, another category of communication, is also examined.
