Paine’s Common Sense

A dictionary defines propaganda as a congregation of the Roman curia having jurisdiction over missionary territories and related institution. It also defines it, the spreading of ideas, information or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person. I think that propaganda is a public act, can be a massage or rumor for the plan to inform others. In addition, I know that propaganda can be an opinion or behavior of people to provide information. However, a propaganda which is used as a message of something in public that promotes a commercial or something else. For example, when you see a poster with a message that say, “George Bush as president vote Yes,” is considered as propaganda. Moreover, I think that Paine’s Common Sense is an example of propaganda or propagandistic because it challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy, and it spoke to the common people of America to openly ask for independence from Great Britain. Therefore, many people consider Paine’s Common Sense propagandistic.
