It all starts with Religion....

To spread an idea or an action by word of mouth, writing in a newspaper or any other form that will grab someones attention is called Propaganda. Sometimes, in order to get your point across, an individual has to spread a message no matter what it takes. Techniques in spreading the word of Propaganda have become very unique. In todays society, we use television advertisements and subliminal messaging.

"The word was first given general currency by the Roman Catholic church to refer to the dissemination of its doctrine and was later adopted and adapted by Marxists. Modern revolutionaries use propaganda to mean the spreading of doctrine; incitement is agitation." (Lasswell, Propaganda)

Churches were looked at as a political power long ago. Most people turned to them for advice and direction. Most propaganda surrounds politics. If the government has the ability to influence a nation, then convincing them of an example of propaganda would not be a difficult task.
