Summary

Health education is usually propaganda rather than education. Why? Because propaganda and education aren’t the same thing, propaganda is just an attempt to influence behavior through repeating simplistic slogans, education never just attempts to influence behavior through repeating simplistic slogans, and education attempts to influence behavior by offering information in all its complexity and letting the individual decide on how to act on that information.

Missing Connection

The conclusion is that health education is usually propaganda, but the premises never discuss how health education works in practice. While the author explains what constitutes propaganda and what constitutes education, he doesn’t explain how health education is propaganda.

How to get from premises to conclusion? We need to know that health education fits into the definition of propaganda. The correct answer must state that health education is usually an attempt to influence behavior through the repetition of simplistic slogans.
