The document discusses propaganda and how it is used to influence people's minds. Propaganda can be used by families, large organizations, and especially governments. While people think they think for themselves, they are actually easily influenced by others in their choices of friends, fashion, music, food, and even important life decisions. Entire countries rely on propaganda or brainwashing to get people to follow directions, vote, sign up for the military, go to war, and more. The document examines some examples of propaganda from different time periods and their goals of influencing thought and behavior.
