Propaganda
“(Propaganda) proceeds by psychological manipulations, character modifications, by creation of stereotypes useful when the time comes - The two great routes that this sub-propaganda takes are the conditioned reflex and the myth.”
-Jacques Ellul

This book is a good resources for the basics of what is propaganda. Organized by sections of usage in time periods, it begins with the propaganda in the world wars. It deals with the necessity of the propaganda in spreading messages.
I have been thinking a lot lately about the correct and effective way to spread a message. Propaganda usually refers to spreading a message in a conniving, devious way but the actual definition just deals with promoting an idea. This need to spread a message in any means possible has been on my mind a lot recently. I am hoping to focus my efforts on distribution of a concept for the next few weeks.
