This is propaganda because
This is propaganda because it is showing that others (homeless or not) want change, but the meaning of the word change is not what it is normally thought of when we think of a homeless person asking for change- thus getting the audience to think. However, when it comes to homeless issues, changing the systems that create and sustain homeless is very complicated. This artistic statement does bring attention to the issue, but in no way gives enough information to understand it.
