Propaganda quote

The quote that I chose for this blog was number 365, "When you would persuade, speak of interest, not of reason." BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1706-1790), 1732. I think that this quote is very interesting because it claims that people are more likely to listen to what they will enjoy than to what is right. This is prevalent in many forms of advertising when they appeal to the consumers desires despite the fact that their product is not in the consumers best interest to purchase. This is a form of propaganda by leaving out certain information in order to affect the audience's decision.
