If you are talking about the first settlers in North America then they were pursuing their faith. They came to north america so that they could worship there God freely without being oppressed.
<span>Racism encompasses both prejudice, the belief that people belong to distinct races with innate hierarchical differences that can be measured and judged; and discrimination, the practice of treating people differently on the basis of their race.
Prejudice against people who belong to certain races involve attitudes and beliefs about them based on stereotypes that are not always accurate. Examples of prejudiced beliefs can include: "Asians are smart", "Muslims are terrorists" or "Americans are ignorant".
Discrimination on the other hand involves behaviors and actions towards individuals of certain races based on prejudices. Examples of discrimination include: making fun of someone's skin color or ethnicity, and not hiring a candidate for a job on the basis that he/ she belongs to an ethnic minority. </span>
<span>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 </span>tells<span> people what they should think versus the </span><span>asking </span><span>people what they think</span>
