Assertion • Common in advertising and modern propaganda • Enthusiastic or energetic statement presented as fact, although not necessarily true. • They often imply statement needs no explanation or back up • Should be accepted without question • E.g.. Anytime an advertiser states that their product is the best without providing evidence

  6. Bandwagon • An appeal for the subject to follow the crowd • Convince people one side is winning because more people have joined it • They will be left out if they do not do something or buy a certain product • Everyone wants to be a winner • So many people are on the side, winning is inevitable.

  7. BANDWAGON

  8. Card Stacking • Selective omission • Only presenting positive information and omitting information contrary to it • Tells you all the good stuff and none of the side effects • Best way to deal with Card Stacking is to obtain more information

  10. Glittering Generalities • Positive words being used to link the subject to highly valued concepts • Words that demand approval without thinking • E.g. Freedom, honour, glory, patriot • They want you to think a subject is linked to these words

  11. GLITTERING GENERALITIES

  12. Lesser of Two Evils • Convince us of an idea by presenting it as the least offensive despite being bad itself • Blaming someone else comes with this • Depicted as the only option or path to take

  18. Plain Folks • Convince the public that a leaders views reflect that of the common people • Always working for the benefit of the common person • A speaker will try to use the accent of the audience or specific jokes/sayings • A speaker might use imperfect pronunciation or stutter and use small words • This impresses to the audience sincerity • Often used with glittering generalities

  19. PLAIN FOLKS

  20. Simplification (Stereotyping) • Similar to Pinpointing the Enemy • Reduces a complex situation to a clear cut good and evil situation • This technique is used in swaying uneducated audiences
