Contest Directions:  May 1 is International Workers' Day, also known as May Day.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Propaganda (in latin it means subject to propagation) is the propagation of any ideas with the objective of attracting the supporters. The term "agitation" (latin agitato – setting in motion) also has the same meaning – verbal, printed or visual political activity, influencing the perception and mood of people with the purpose of prompting them for political or other activities. Modern synonym for the same is public diplomacy. Objectives of propaganda: Propaganda is one of the main media for political manipulation. Propaganda should never be compared with advertisement. Advertisement is closer to self-presentation or informational genre. Publicity forms the core of business, political and religious information genres. When the initial signal function of reporting concentrates on the elements of expressions (emotional significance) and reprimands, the publicity turns into agitation. And if agitational publicity aims to achieve more of a collective action than the individual one, it becomes propaganda. Unlike publicity, propaganda is not restricted by rigid time frames and it can’t be simply expressed. Propaganda first of all plays with the emotions of people. Accordingly, propaganda, like emotions, may be negative or positive. Positive (constructive) propaganda conveys one or the other messages to the consumer in a lucid form. Objective of the positive propaganda is to facilitate the social order, harmony, educating the people about commonly accepted human values. Positive propaganda plays educative and informative functions in the society. This is exercised in the interest of those to whom it is addressed, and not in the interest of a restricted number of interested people. Positive propaganda, in contrast to the negative one, does not pursue manipulative objectives. Negative (destructive) propaganda imposes their ideas on the as per the principle “aim justifies the means”. Objective of negative propaganda – unleashing the social animosity, escalation of social conflicts, aggravation of contradictions in the society, inciting the feeling of inferiority complex in the people and so on. This leads to alienation among people, makes them docile to the will of propagandist. The techniques of creating the image of an enemy are used for gathering of people around the propagandist, impose his convictions and stereotypes on the masses. Main purpose of negative propaganda is the creation of insubstantial and parallel reality with inverted system of values, convictions, opinions. Negative propaganda actively makes use of low level of criticism and suggestibility of masses with the objective of manipulating these people in the interests of small group of people. When the interests of large number of people and a particular group of people do not coincide or are directed against each other, the propaganda of this group of people harms the society. And what’s more, the propagandist is bound to consciously cheat so as to conceal the actual consequences of those actions, which he urges the people to do. In this context, there is the example of tobacco firms, which create attractive and courageous images, thereby convincing the consumers that only smart people smoke the cigarettes of such-and-such brand. At the bottom there is always a warning sign “Ministry of Health warns…..” (thanks to the legislation “Protection of Consumer Rights”), but the “smart” image always has some influence. This is not an open deception, but nevertheless the omission about negative consequences of smoking, have been proved by the researches long time back.
