Propaganda And Interpersonal Communication Theory

3558 Words15 Pages

INTRODUCTION
Language is the set of symbols through which consumers understand the world around them by consuming and at times themselves creating highly personalized messages on interpersonal and mass communication levels. Propaganda involves the production of ‘information’ as well as its dissemination. Christopher Simpson, in his classic book titled “Science of Coercion,” saw propaganda as a part of coercion . Propagandists use production and dissemination to manipulate the opinions of target audiences through propaganda by tailoring messages in the media to impact the connotation with which the target audience is bound to sway on a particular topic. In order to understand the impact of propaganda on a society and its effects on personal lives of a target audience, researchers need to study interpersonal communication theory and its association with propaganda.
The research will first define propaganda, review the evolution of propaganda and analyse its historical use, especially in times of war. It will also compare different propaganda models.

    A leading 19th century psychologist named William James stated this about propaganda: "There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it”. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. This is evident in the televised premature ending of the Montag’s chase and in the symbolism of 451 by the government in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. However, in our world propaganda has been used to unite a country through targeted mass persuasion. This is seen in two classic U.S propaganda posters that encourage U.S citizens to join the army: “I want you”(index 1) and “Remember Dec. 7th” (index 2).
