| Abstract: | Propaganda's use as a powerful communicative, manipulative and psychological tool is highly effective irrespective whether it is addressed towards an individual or a group of persons. Propaganda implies repetition and is a form of brainwashing and indoctrination ensuring that the message sinks in. It has been said that if a lie is repeated over and over, it will be taken as sacrosanct truth and this is precisely what propaganda does. Propaganda is mainly used in times of war as an attempt to "cover up" the ugliness of war and mobilising support for it. It tends to depict the enemy as not being human and reinforces the notion that the war is a justifiable cause and that people would submit to this idea. |
