The Meaning of Propaganda in Social Psychology

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the Latin word “<a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propagate#:~:text=The%20word%20is%20a%2016th,the%20spreading%20of%20ideas%20and" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">propagare</a>” means “to set (onto a plant) a small shoot or twig cut for planting or grafting.” This implies artificial plant reproduction rather than natural growth. Let’s imagine that the plants are people and the twig cuts are ideas. Probably, you can guess that the main task of propaganda is to share information among people and make them believe it, or “graft” specific ideas into people’s minds in order to mould their behavior and attitudes. <a href="https://medium.com/@anastasia_mze/the-meaning-of-propaganda-in-social-psychology-d4f5536ec8f9">Click Here</a>
