Joseph Goebbels' Use of Propaganda in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany
Developed under the guidance of
Dr. Michael Smith
Communication Studies

This research explores Joseph Goebbels' use of propaganda in Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Goebbels used J. S. Mill’s Utilitarianism principle, not to help his country but to turn public opinion against its Jewish citizens. Goebbels' plan backfired and benefited humanity. This research will examine the principle the greatest good for the greatest number, which can be beneficial to the majority, but when applied with vicious intent it can be harmful.
