What is "propaganda"?

Propaganda refers to information, often biased or misleading, that is used to promote a particular political cause, ideology, or point of view. It is typically spread with the intention of influencing people's opinions or behaviors, sometimes by presenting facts in a distorted or one-sided way. Propaganda can be found in various forms of media, such as newspapers, television, and social media, and is often used by governments, organizations, or political groups to shape public perception. While propaganda may appear persuasive, it is designed to manipulate rather than inform, often lacking balance or objectivity.

What is a "vacation"?

A vacation is a scheduled break from regular school or work activities, often lasting for a few days or weeks. It provides individuals with the opportunity to rest, travel, or engage in leisure activities. In the context of schools, vacations typically occur during holidays or between academic terms, such as summer vacation, winter break, or spring break. Vacations offer a chance to recharge and take a break from the usual routine, promoting relaxation and personal well-being.
