Propaganda’s Contamination of the Decision Making Process

Propaganda (PRO) is commonly understood as a one-way process originated by a group to target a larger audience, in order to orient the perception of the latter, resulting either in an opinion shift or set actions, to the advantage of the former. The present work addresses the issue represented by a cognitive and media space dominated by Traditional Propaganda (PRO) is commonly understood as a one-way process originated by a group to target a larger audience, Media (TMD – Television Networks, Magazines and Newspapers) and Social Networks (SNS), both emitter of PRO, in order to orient the perception of the latter, resulting either in an opinion shift or set actions, to the advantage of the where a country’s leadership involved in Decision Making Process (DMP) risks to take inappropriate actions due to former. The present work addresses the issue represented by a cognitive and media space dominated by Traditional spillage of PRO in their discourse. This because the inherent TMD/SNS easiness and pervasiveness allows a two-way Media (TMD – Television Networks, Magazines and Newspapers) and Social Networks (SNS), both emitter of PRO, process where not only the manufacturers of PRO may be influenced by their own products, but the Political Decision where a country’s leadership involved in Decision Making Process (DMP) risks to take inappropriate actions due to Maker (PDM) as well, resulting in a flawed DMP. Another consequence of the mere presence of PRO is that PDMs spillage of PRO in their discourse. This because the inherent TMD/SNS easiness and pervasiveness allows a two-way have to mediate constantly between the “naked reality” and a “political, desirable one”; the first sealed inside economic process where not only the manufacturers of PRO may be influenced by their own products, but the Political Decision and social indexes in many instances hard to frame inside a narrative (NRV, a n-th derivative of PRO – understood as Maker (PDM) as well, resulting in a flawed DMP. Another consequence of the mere presence of PRO is that PDMs a way of display a situation in accordance with a certain point of view to a large audience), while the second comes have to mediate constantly between the “naked reality” and a “political, desirable one”; the first sealed inside economic as immediate as easy to understand to the most of the Public Opinion (PUO). and social indexes in many instances hard to frame inside a narrative (NRV, a n-th derivative of PRO – understood as a way of display a situation in accordance with a certain point of view to a large audience), while the second comes On this regard, capitalizing on previous works on the subject of Human Behaviour Modelling, the Authors propose as immediate as easy to understand to the most of the Public Opinion (PUO). a conceptual model for a Computer Simulation where PRO/NRV and DMP interacts in a dynamic form, which can give insights into the connection between Media, PUO, and DMP.
