Propaganda: It’s here to stay When the word ‘propaganda’ is used‚ negative connotations are generally brought to mind.

Stereotyping‚ which can be used positively and negatively‚ is something everyone uses everyday. It’s found everywhere including in our humor‚ how people describe one another‚ and beliefs.
