Deception is the covert manipulation of perception to alter thoughts, feeling, or beliefs.
Deception involves concepts like marketing, propaganda, distraction and concealment. Fiction, while sometimes manipulative, is not a deception unless it is portrayed as the whole truth; not to be confused with half-truths.
In many cases it is difficult to distinguish deception from providing unintentionally wrong information. One of the reasons for this is that a person or an entire organization may be self-deceived.
Example:
Camouflage as a form of visual deception is an essential part of modern military tactics.
