V for Vendetta Questions Answered

To what extent do people fall in love with the particular facts of a conspiracy, or with the idea of a conspiracy?
People fall in love with conspiracies because questions that the individual had about mainstream thoughts are answered in some conspiracies.  They also feel as if they are taking part in something from the ground up and relish to see the theory become mainstream thought or to be proved correct to say that I was a part of that from the beginning.  People love alternate history and timelines and some hope to see one of the alternate timelines become reality.  People however fall in love with particular theories because they believe them to be correct based upon the facts or ideas presented by the conspiracy.

What are the differences between propaganda and conspiracy?
Propaganda is generally issued by the government to convince people to ally themselves with the government ideals and principles in pursuit of the good of the government.  Conspiracy is generally issued by the people against mainstream thought or government to persuade other members of the population to believe in something different than what the government tells you.

Is V a hero or villain
V is a hero because he stood up against a tyrannical Orwellian government.  While his methods were acts of terrorism by blowing up federal buildings and killing high members of Parliament, the government needed to be torn down and dismantled.  A tyrannical government needs to be vanquished by those citizens who want to see freedom instilled in the land they love.

Using your answers to these questions, develop a position about conspiracy theory and cover up, and the role multi-media is used.

Conspiracy theories have been used by members of a country or organization to try and expose cover ups.  Conspiracy theories are used by people who do not trust their government and believe through evidence they deem substantial enough, to try and forge their government to what they think it should be.  If people think that JFK was assassinated by means other than what the government provided the common populace, then they believe the government covered something up and they wish to expose the real truth.
Cover ups are used by the government to conceal truth they believe would pose more harm than it would by covering it up.  Say the government had contact with extra terrestrial beings and they did not tell the people out of fear of mass hysteria.  Governments also cover up details and stories to make the government look better such as Tienanmen Square of the Chinese Government.  Some cover ups like Tienanmen Square is to prevent the people from knowing the truth.
Multi Media is heavily used because it is a universal tool that everyone can use.  Information can quickly be transferred to the various parts of the country and the world with a few taps of a button.  However multimedia also can be used to spread conspiracy theories of the government.  Multimedia is used to transfer data on cover's or conspiracies across the world toa  broader audience other than that of the one country or government.
