Propaganda

 What is propaganda ?

Propaganda is information that is misleading for example:


Is this image propaganda? 

I would say yes because this information is misleading and is biased against communism. If you look at the image you can clearly see at the bottom of the image it says "America under communism" then shows people fighting and killing each other with the American flag burning in the background with the main title as "IS THIS TOMORROW" written in capital letters to make the title more dramatic and is trying to show people that if you follow and support communism this is what tomorrow will be like (the end of america).

Meaning of propagandainformation, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.


Bandwagon: used in reference to an activity, cause, etc. that is currently fashionable or popular and attracting increasing support.

Is this bandwagon? Yes this is bandwagon because the image is trying to convince us to buy their product because everyone else is. Which is basically making us think that because everyone else is buying their Nike products and its the latest fashion and trend that we should buy it too hence the phrase "jumping on the bandwagon" basically meaning following the trend and copying everyone else.
