Answer to Question 1

What is propaganda, and how is it different from public relations?
Propaganda is the attempt to have a viewpoint accepted at the exclusion of all others. Its etymology
stems from the Roman Catholic church's efforts to propagate the faith during the 17th century.
Propaganda, as a term, did not carry the negative connotations at the beginning of World War I that
it does today. However, its abuse by its most evil practitioner, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph
Goebbels, discredited propaganda as both a word and practice. Propagandists often practice one-way
communication without regard to accuracy. Public relations involves two-way communication, and
its practitioners rely upon accuracy to maintain their credibility. While the main goal of propaganda
is to achieve a specific result, public relations strives to establish and maintain mutually beneficial
relationships.

Answer to Question 2
