Abstract: | The use of propaganda has changed over the last century to a degree that it has now become unrecognisable. It is such a different practice in today's usage that even the term propaganda is shirked as there is a common conception that is suggests the wrong idea. The goals of propaganda remain largely unchanged but the methods have evolved, to become far more complex, and to adapt to the modern environment. Technology has had an undeniable effect upon the use and form of propaganda. Communication technology is within reach of every average consumer, and this role of consumer has developed into a role as a participant. The idea is that society has become better informed and therefore the role of propaganda in achieving foreign policy goals has changed. It no longer instils ideology, but guides thought. |
