    This message qualifies as propaganda because it portrays young adults being attached to their mothers until it is time to start their own life.This message is harmful in the way that it portrays children depending on their mothers still as teenagers. The propagandist sell this message by showing others on their own while one teenager is still attached umbilical cord of his mother.The emotional appeal present is one of social fears because the kid is the only person depending on his mother.
