The term propaganda is referred to as an information exchange that aims at influencing the communities’ attitude regarding some rank or cause (Manning 12-17). The statements of propaganda are not necessarily true but may at times be partly true or partly false. In Thomas’ Paine pamphlets, propaganda was seen to exist and as he was seen as an American patriot he also seemed a propaganda master. The Pamphlet was named “Common Sense” and this naming already was a sign of propaganda. His pamphlet of common sense was also seen to decide for a way to go for the Continent America as his ideas rotated around common sense.
Being the origin of the governmental system that is not trusted is propaganda and as used here the country is seen as false. It is unusual to talk about a country in a bad way and by doing so the image is spoilt. As seen in this article distrust comes about because of a system of a government that has an origin that cannot be trusted. By writing this the Country loses a good image and rather is seen as bad.
Lack of voice in the home state is propaganda especially if told to the public. It is explained here that, however, many committees he joined and handing out of flyers he could still not achieve his target. Propaganda is seen here because it is usually true that the hard work comes with success and by stating failure even after trying hard it discourages.
The propaganda had effects of confusion by seeing a person possessing both good and bad qualities in public. Thomas Paine was seen as a patriot and again a propaganda master. It had effects to the public by not knowing what to believe and not to believe. It could be possible that America separate with England and this was by use of propaganda (Manning and Wyatt 31). It is also very much relevant that this writer was a philosopher and as known since long philosophers make no jokes. Their words are very strict and their quotes meaningful but as seen philosophy came to mixing with propaganda. Effecting philosophy, it came to be of lack of seriousness and trust.
In concluding, propaganda can be true or false but it will depend on the audience. Those who prefer the use of propaganda rather than facts will always be dependent thus human beings should have their own way to reason out their issues.
