Answer:

Propaganda is used to change human behavior by using a biased idea or stirring up people's emotions to get what other people want. It is not okay to use propaganda this way since you are bending other people's will and tampering with their emotions to get what you want, and nobody likes it when their emotions are tampered with.

hope this helps :)
