Propaganda is used as a powerful tool in order to persuade and manipulate the general public into believing in another’s opinion. This device is mainly used by the government to promote warfare, political figures, and specific ideals. However, propaganda is not always used for positive feedback. This form of advertisement can enlist fear, suppress, and brainwash the population. In the novel 1984, propaganda is used in this manner of negativity. A few examples of this form of publicity is the language of Newspeak, the Party’s slogan, and the two-minute hate.
