Propaganda Propaganda: An extreme form of persuasion for the purpose of getting people to do certain things or think a certain way. Propaganda appeals to emotions rather than to intellect, and many times, only one side of a situation is presented.
Propaganda Techniques • Methods-not based on facts-that are used to make an argument more persuasive. Critical readers need to watch out for them whether they are used on purpose or by accident.
Bandwagon • An appeal for others to “ join the crowd” in order to be on the “winning side”
Testimonial • A famous person endorses a product, person, or idea.
Card Stacking • Presenting only the positive information and leaving out anything that may be negative.
Name Calling • The use of words that have negative connotation towards apposing products.
Plain Folks • The use of common, ordinary people to promote a product.
Rewards • The use of gimmicks, rebates, free toys, etc. to promote and sell a product.
Repetition • When a jingle or product name is repeated over and over • The purpose is to get it stuck in your head so you will buy the product
Fear • plays on deep-seated fears; warns the audience that disaster will result if they do not follow a particular course of action. • Example: an insurance company pamphlet includes pictures of house destroyed by floods
Glittering Generalities • Emotionally appealing words are used to describe a product or idea, but no evidence is given to support it.
