Why does propoganda work?


It seems to work for a number of reasons including

People wish to believe the best about themselves and their country
Fear - mongering, especially about the threat to cherished values such as freedom and justice.
Presenting fears and claims that appear logical and factual.
Media management and public relations is very professional.
Managing thoughts by narrowing ranges of debate, thus minimizing widely discussed thoughts that deviate from the main agenda.


I came across this very interesting video on ' How to brainwash a nation?'
