It is a law passed shortly after September 11, 2001 that gives law enforcement broad powers to investigate, charge and bring terrorists to justice. The law in question expanded the powers of anti-terrorism law enforcement by increasing the penalties imposed to deter and prevent those who commit, finance and support terrorist crimes. Officially called “Unifying and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools to Prevent and Prevent Terrorism,” the law was enacted as part of counter-terrorism measures and was primarily designed to lower the threshold of probable cause for obtaining intelligence orders against spies, terrorists, and other adversaries suspected by the United States. . Under the U.S. Patriot Act, terrorist acts can be penalized by preventing terrorist attacks inside and outside the U.S. by encouraging information sharing among law enforcement, regulators, and financial institutions through enhanced law enforcement and strengthened money laundering measures. The relevant law reorganized the relevant laws by taking into account the new technology and new threats in terrorist acts, as well as the use of investigative tools designed to prevent organized crime and drug trafficking for terrorism related investigations. Many American citizens oppose this law on the grounds that it violates the constitutional right to privacy. After America, many countries were influenced by the Patriot Act and passed similar laws.

While propaganda is commonly carried out through speech, news, art, music and film, it is not limited to. Although the history of the concept goes back many years, its widespread use first started in the 17th century with the establishment of the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide (the Congregation for Propagating the Faith) to train the clergy to carry out the missionary activities of the Catholic Church. Although the concept of propaganda used to have an honorable and positive meaning together with the works of the church, it started to gain a political use during the French Revolution with the development of modern politics, and evolved into a word that did not reflect the truth, had manipulative and negative connotations in the 19th century. There are three forms of propaganda: white, gray and black. While white propaganda has often taken on a transparent image by relying on the right sources with facts and truthful messages, it often reflects a biased stance. The source of gray propaganda is not clear, there is an effort to keep the source secret. Black propaganda is a type of propaganda that keeps the source hidden by diverting it from the right source. In this type of propaganda, false information is spread as if it were true so that the audience does not realize that propaganda is being made.

Although the phenomenon of public opinion has roots dating back to ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt, it began to be studied scientifically in the 19th century as a concept. Although interpreted differently by other disciplines, public opinion in political science has been defined as a norm that “determines the behavior of the three organs of the state”. This concept, which appeared as efkar-ı ummiye in the old period, can mean forming the general opinion of the society, or it can also be expressed with a meaning that forms the general opinion of a small group. The concept of “forming public opinion” is used when questioning the role of the media in political science and communication literature.
