Contemporary society has consolidated capitalism as a hegemonic economic system, mainly by the influence of media and entertainment conglomerates for the symbolic construction of reality, added to the power of corporations that induce the definition of public directives by the national states. This article, through documentary analysis and case study, proposes to weave some relations between the actors that influence the structures of power and to exemplify with case study of the campaign for the reform of the social security system conducted by the Brazilian federal government and thus demonstrate the influence of persuasive language on public communication.
