Activism, Perspective, Propaganda

What is "propaganda" and why is it powerful? 
Propaganda is a message created to make people "believe, do, or buy" something. It is powerful because people usually believe it and sometimes do and buy something. Mostly they do something like react to it.


Where do you find propaganda? How is it propaganda?
Propaganda is usually found in stores because in most stores, they have lots of propaganda. They have little t.v's that shows what they want people to buy, they have a food station that lets people try the food so that they will buy them, and they give out magazines and newspapers to people so the people will buy their things. 


What is the Lupehole of truth?
The Lupehole truth is usually something that someone sees and believe in while the other person believes in something else. For example, there wil be two different sides while one person sees a different side from the other person. 


How do you find the truth?
To find the truth, you have to see proof. To be able to see proof, you have to see for yourself instead of believing others. When someone said that a close friend of yours is dead, you have to see their dead body to be able to believe it. 


What is LRA? What do they do? What do they say their mission is?
LRA is a group of people that kidnapps kids to join their group. Those kids have to do as they said or the LRA will kill them. They said that their mission is to help the kids get a better life because in Africa, not all kids get to go to school and get a good life, the LRA says that they are giving the kids a good life by letting them go to school, have a roof over their heads, and have a good life. 


What is the difference between FACT/OPINION and TRUTH/NON-TRUTH?
The difference between fact and opinion is that a fact is something that has proof, you see it, and happens for real. An opinion is something that is only what people think and is not always true. The difference between truth and non-truth is that truth is when something is real and is true, their will be nothing that could change it because it is true and already happens. Non-truth is something that isn't true and isn't real and there will still be something that could change it.


If someone asked you what you have learned in Reading Class since coming back from Spring Break, what would you tell them? (remember, they will judge the class based on your response)
If someone asked me what I have learned since coming back from Spring Break, I would tell them that I learned about Propaganda, a message created to make someone believe, buy, or do and it is used in almost everywhere and sometimes they are fake. I would also tell them that we learned about the KONY 2012, Joseph Kony is someone that kidnaps kids, he makes the boys soldiers and makes them kill their parents and relatives, he makes the girls sex slaves. He does this only to have the power to control not for something that he wanted.


What are some concerns you have about propaganda? Why do you think it might be dangerous?
Some concerns I have about propaganda is that it is almost everywhere and sometimes there might be one that needs kids. For example, there might be a kid club and it needs money. The kids that wanted to attend gives money and goes there, they are kidnapped and the money was kept to go somewhere else and steal more kids. This is my concern about propaganda because I liked to go to competitions and I am scared that it might be like that.
