6.According to Garth Jowett and Victoria O’Donnell, in Propaganda and Persuasion, “Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist” (2006, p.7). Keeping that definition in mind, would you agree with the argument that prescription drug advertising is a well-funded propaganda campaign? Why or why not?
