Political Communication can be seen in Propaganda

I have decided to show both these pictures to show everyone how much propaganda has changed, and to explain how propaganda it is a form of political communication. The aim of propaganda is to influence society towards some cause or position by showing only one side of an argument. By only having one side of an argument can cause debate and controversy. I feel that propaganda statements (like the pictures above) may be party false and partly true, the aim is to generally influence societies attitudes towards certain causes/positions. Also propaganda is repetitive as the same types of arguments are dispersed over different types of media to create the 'right' result in audience's attitudes (it is repeated so they can essentially brainwash us with what they think is the 'right' arguments), this is what makes it so political.
