Abstract

Advertising is considered as a major mass communication tool, because of its great capacity to influence the social imaginary, although this form of communication sometimes is overestimated. Moreover, welfare state has got the obligation to arrange properly the Civil Society, and also ought to favour the citizens education and all those fields associated to the “common good” maxim. In this paper we research how is this advertising like, and which would be State communication goals. Culture of peace is a project defended and promoted by UNESCO, vertebrated in a whole theoretical and conceptual universe, that not only means the absense of war, but focuses all kind of human and social relationships. In order to this purpose, we have analyzed carefully 61 Government’s campaigns, over a big sample of more than 190.
