    1. PROPAGANDA How writers and advertisers use your feelings and emotions to persuade you to agree with them. SPI 0601.5.4 Identify examples of persuasive devices (i.e., bandwagon, loaded terms, testimonial, name-calling). 

    3. Propaganda techniques in advertising Writers and advertisers use many techniques to convince you to agree with them or buy their product. An emotional appeal tries to make the reader connect the writer’s message with an important feeling.

    4. Propaganda techniques Loaded Words Bandwagon Testimonial Name Calling

    5. Loaded WORDS The loaded language technique uses words that cause a strong feeling. Once the reader is feeling strongly, he or she may be more likely to agree with the writer. What are some examples of loaded words?

    8. Bandwagon

    9. bANDWAGON Millions of people have discovered Proactiv® Solution...from people like you to celebrities like Vanessa Williams, Jessica Simpson and Elle Macpherson... they all say Proactiv Solution helped banish their breakouts and get them on the path to clear, beautiful, star-quality skin.

    10. Testimonial This technique uses the words of someone who has actually used the product. Often, the testimonial comes from a celebrity – if they use it and look good, why shouldn’t you! The normal, average person’s opinion is also used to appeal to us.

    11. TESTIMONIAL "...the great thing about Proactiv is that it's a fantastic skin treatment, whether you have acne or not. It's gentle, it's effective, it's a sort of exfoliant, which I really like - my skin has a better texture about it and it's easy to use."

    12. Testimonial Larry the Cable Guy lost 50 lbs. with the Nutrisystem diet plan. Larry said, “With NutriSystem, losing weight is pretty much a no-brainer (and that comes in handy in my family).”

    13. Testimonial "The SUBWAY® chain helped save my life over and over. I can't ever repay that."

    14. Name Calling This technique uses words that are negative to describe an enemy or competitor. It compares one organization or idea to another, showing how one is superior. It is often used in politics and during wartime.

    15. NAME CALLING Mac OS X Leopard “No other operating system — Vista included — offers the innovation and simplicity of Mac OS X. With Mac OS X Leopard, the Mac leaps even further ahead with new features that let you do more with less effort.”

    16. Name Calling Candidates for the 2008 Presidential election used name calling in their ads, as in past elections. Barack Obama says that John McCain has “same old politics, same failed policies”. Obama implies that McCain is not the best choice and he doesn’t have the best solutions to America’s problems. -from www.livingroomcandidate.com “Low Road” video ad

    17. Discussion Questions What are advertisers true reasons for persuading you? Are they trying to truly help you or are they just wanting to sell a product and make money? Should you try something or do something just because it is popular?

    19. In Review Propaganda is how writers and advertisers use your feelings and emotions to get you to agree with them. The 4 most common techniques are: loaded words, bandwagon, testimonial, and name calling. Advertisers use these techniques to influence us, appeal to our emotions, persuade us to buy their products, try to make us act on our emotions, get us to do what everyone else is doing, etc. We need to rely on facts and research the products before buying them and not rely ONLY on our emotions.
