Marketing, Advertising and Propaganda are the link between the people and the architects of society. from companies to politicians they all use one of the three to get their messages across. To me it seems Marketing is almost like the research and development stage where they try to get an understanding of what the consumer needs and wants. Advertising is a means to convince someone they need a product or idea. Advertising seems to summarize a certain demographics wants and needs into a stream lined idea to convince the consumer they need or want the product. Propaganda seems to trick people into a socially unacceptable ideas while making them believe they are the right ideas to endorse by the public.

but, where are the boundaries for the three? do they all coincide together or do they have clear and distinct definitions?
