LOGICAL FALLACIES  LECTURE
ESSAY PROMPT:
“ Propaganda is everywhere…Every newspaper, magazine, news channel, radio station, advertisement, or any other types of mass media contain elements of propaganda.  Propaganda is often given a negative connotation due to its history of power and control; as in the Hitler’s regime, but in reality the definition is very simple.  According to Webster’s College Dictionary, propaganda is “information or ideas methodically spread to promote or injure a cause, movement, nation etc, and the deliberate spread of such information or ideas”.  Whether the reader of a media source agrees or disagrees with the content, the purpose of the media is to convey one way to look at a particular situation or idea.”
