The values of the human rights movement have disseminated throughout the world.
As the missletoe is disseminated by birds, its existence depends on birds; and it may metaphorically be said to struggle with other fruit-bearing plants, in order to tempt birds to devour and thus disseminate its seeds rather than those of other plants.

Use disseminate when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
