Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Week 11 Sociology Individual Work. It needs to be at least 500 words.

I find Cunningham’s explanation of propaganda to be impressive because the author shows that propaganda is used by the media in attempt to arouse the consumers to specific corners, thereby initiating change.
