Identify one piece of propaganda that circulates in current media today. Keep in mind that what might appear to be propaganda to you, might actually come across as informative or supportive to someone else, depending on their perspective. Explain three properties of the media you identify that qualify it as propaganda in your eyes. What message is being portrayed, and who does this message serve/benefit? Now find something that is considered propaganda but that you do not see as being that method of media. Explain why you think it serves the public in the right way, and point out ways that it is NOT propaganda to you. Why do you think others see it as propaganda, and why do you feel they are wrong?
