Product: Presidential Candidate Results: The candidate won the elections and gained presidency Objective: Convince people the candidate will improve his country
The product is Enrique Pe単a Nieto, which was 1 of 4 candidates to the 2012 mexican presidential elections.

GOT MILK
Product: Got Milk is a type of milk which promotes giving energy and motivation.
The ads show Superman and famous people, so this gets people to buy Got Milk because they believe they will become like the ads.
The result is that people start buying Got Milk because they feel good and important due to how the adds describe and promote people who buy Got Milk
Relationship with the Book The World State in Brave New World wants to indoctrinate their citizens with the idea of Somma being a good product. That way they can have complete control over their citizens. But they dont know that, they just know that soma is the only thing keeping them happy.
Propaganda: Ideas or Products? Propaganda is all about selling ideas, of course, the companies sell the products, but you may not be buying the product, unless you get the wrong idea of it (a better idea from what you had expected) people do buy it because propaganda gets the ideas in peoples heads. Almost all the times about how the product is better or how a celebrity uses it and feels happy with it, other times is to harm the product so people stop buying it.
Materialism Most of the times propaganda shows people being happy with the product. This is called materialism, making you believe that a physical object or material makes you happy, which sometimes it does, but propaganda exaggerates so much that it becomes fake. Materialism is the main thing in which propaganda is based, due to the fact that without products, there cant be any type of persuasion for them. And yeah, maybe you like a product for how you see it on advertisement, and at the same time think that if you buy it you wont like it. Its obviously more important what you think, but propaganda says it doesnt, because according to advertisement everybody who buys the product ends up happy: fake idea.
The objective is to understand the concept of what propaganda is and how it is applied in real life, of how it should be and of how it is in Brave New World. In conclusion, propaganda is the phenomena of selling fake ideas, not for what the product really is. Making people believe a certain point of view which may or may not be true. Propaganda helps companies and people generally to sell something, this is really useful because propaganda is the connection between the product (thing, idea or person) and the buyers, which is actually Conclusion
