Propaganda

more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir
up friendly feeling? That was a question raised by Bertrand
Russell. Most psychologists opine that we are more prone to
generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more

techniques has been evident in election campaigns as well as
International politics and cold war...One of the intentions of
corporate–controlled media is to instill in people a sense of

Psychological
Warfare and Political Psychology
PSYOP (Psychological Operations) and PSYWAR (Psychological
Warfare) are not mere acronyms. They sound like new terms coined
to give respectability to the old term 'Psychological warfare' and

of deception and propaganda. Now the motto is not merely to subdue
the enemy but "Capture their minds and their hearts and souls will
follow". |
