Propaganda --- I have experienced particularly in conflict situations where propaganda has been used as a tool to mobilize a section of the population especially youth youth to take up arms to defend a political agenda. This moblisation can take ethinic dimension . sometimes on Religious lines as well. Propaganda is also commonly used by faith based organisation as a means of recruiting members or to propagate their ideology. This can have severe consequences on society.
