What is propaganda?
Propaganda: The spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.
Which means that propaganda is any ideas, opinions, or beliefs that are spread on purpose.
Propaganda Vs Publicity
Publicity is when something is being sold. It has an economic purpose.
Propaganda is when you are trying to give ideas, opinions, and beliefs.
Propaganda Techniques in Brave New World
In Brave new world the metaphor of SOMA is the way of propaganda because supposedly it makes them believe they are happy and “everything is awesome”. The use of SOMA, which brainwashes, shows the idea that propaganda is made for making you believe something that can be true or not.
In Chapter 2 we find an interesting quote..."Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly colour. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."

Sleep- teaching metaphor
When you hear the jingle of Sanborns or hear “Expect more pay less”, you automatically think about Sanborns or target .This is because they have repeat it to you a thousand times. When they repeat things over and over again it sticks to your mind and you think about it unconsciously.
World War 2 propaganda
During World War 2 propaganda was used a lot as a war weapon. They were used mainly for recruitment, persuasion, and motivation.
ISIS
Isis, publishes the videos of the people they murder as a form of propaganda, they want to make people scared of them so no one will challenge them, and they are using propaganda as a form to involve other people in ISIS, by making them think that everything ISIS does is for the benefit of the Islamic population.
México
One of the most important historic examples in Mexico is the The Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968.President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz distracted the attention of people from the student protests by making them focus on the olympics.
The Tlatelolco Massacre
The government made people think everything was okay, they constructed an image of a peaceful and progressive Mexico, when in fact a lot of things were wrong. When they killed hundreds of students they covered it up and made people believe everything was fine.
Ayotzinapa
When the students were kidnapped the media didn’t want to say anything because part of the government in Iguala was part of the attack. After the news broke out turism went down and the goverment said that evry
Conclusion
On the book they make people believe their world is perfect, and it has nothing wrong. Nowadays governments do that too, they want people to believe that nothing bad is going on, when in fact a lot of bad things are going on. In that way Brave New World is just like the real world.
