There's not really any pros for propaganda because essentially what you are doing is lying to get someone to believe something. I guess you could say a pro is that gullible people will believe you, but that's an unethical pro. The cons are that it usually causes much controversy in a society where there's not supposed to be a bias in the government. Propaganda in its true form is never a good thing. It is unethical in the sense that it takes advantage of people who are too lazy to do research and quick to believe what someone tells them. One example I like to use is many of these independent "news" websites. On both ends of the political spectrum, left and right, you find websites that have articles so heavily weighed down with that wings propaganda that true news becomes less and less visible. Occupy Democrats is one textbook example of that. Their articles are so left leaning that you read an article and are immediately left with a left leaning impression. Same goes for a lot of right wing websites. I'm not going to say "always" but propaganda 99.9 percent of the time is not good. Instead of people doing their own research to decide their view on something, propaganda tells people what they should think versus the asking people what they think

b. teaching yourself yoga by watching a yoga group in the park.

Explanation:

Observational learning explains the learning process by observing others, recalling the information and then reconstructing the observed behaviors. Consider about how a kid watches one another's parents wave and then mimics that behavior themselves. This cycle of watching and imitating others creates a considerable amount of learning. As per the question, learning yoga by first observing it in park and later applied to himself is an example of observational learning.

A dog, cat, and mug are in the same room. If the dog and the cat have the same mass, which one has more potential energy?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Both.

Explanation:

Both dog and cat has the same potential energy because of the same mass of both animals. Potential energy depends on the height and mass of the body. if the mass of the body increases, its potential energy automatically increases and vice versa. If both dog and cat have the same mass, they have similar potential energy so we can conclude from the discussion that both have the same potential energy in their body.
