Censorship – Censorship is censoring, suppressing, and limiting information to the public. This picture shows how fast food and many other advertisements can be misleading. It shows what is being advertised in the ads and compared to what we get in reality. It shows how good, yummy and tasty the food looks like in the ads but doesn’t show how bad it is really in terms of carbohydrates, sugar and calories.   



Surveillance – Surveillance is supervising, being watched over, or being closely observed. This article shows how the NSA (National Security Agency) spys on Americans. In other words, they are closely observing the phone calls, internet communication, documents and may other things of Americans. The article represents the theme of surveillance as the NSA is closely observing the Americans.


Propaganda – Propaganda is information designed to publicize, promote or persuade people. These videos of the iPhone 6 are made so perfectly not only to promote their product but to persuade people. They show different aspects of the phone to buy the customers attention quickly. Each angle of the video is taken to show the quality of the phone and how the customer should buy it.
