  3. What is Propaganda? • Propaganda is an expression of opinion or action by individuals or groups • Deliberately designed to influence opinions or actions of other individuals or groups • Predetermined ends.

  5. Bandwagon • This device is used to make us follow the crowd. • It’s the “everybody’s doing it” so “come along and follow the crowd” ploy. • PEER PRESSURE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ3d3KigPQM

  6. Avant-garde (Individuality) • The opposite of Band Wagon. • Appeals to your desire to be different or celebrate your own style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIEbjDuEAdk

  7. Testimonials • This devices is employed to make us accept something by securing statements or endorsements from prominent or famous people. • The point to remember is that no person’s opinion is particularly valuable except for in that person’s field of work. • Tiger Wood’s opinion of a golf club is worth more than his opinion of a razor blade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLPltgIhZrI

  8. Facts and Figures • Numbers and statistics are oftenused to persuade the audience. • For example, a car repair shop might say that their technicians have an average of 5 years experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R02X4jYqaU4&feature=related

  9. Transfer • This technique can be described as carrying over the authority, sanction, and prestige of something we respect and revere to something the propagandist would have us accept. • Symbols such as the cross, the American flag, or Uncle Sam are often used in transfer ploys. • “If the church or the U.S. approves of it , then you should too.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s__nHCNT8y8

  10. Name-Calling • This device gives bad names to those individuals, groups, nations, races, policies, beliefs, and ideals which the propagandist would have us condemn or reject. • Name-calling causes us to form a judgment without examining the evidence on which it should be based. • Here, the propagandist appeals to our hate and fear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJafiCKliA8

  11. Glittering Generalities • These words suggest shining ideals. • As name-calling seeks to make us form a judgment or reject, Glittering Generalities seek to make us accept and approve…without examining the evidence. • Beware of words that appeal to your senses in a positive way, thus you trust the message and what it stands for: • Freedom • Loyalty • The American Way • Generosity • Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Zw7HJStwo&feature=related

  12. Plain Folks • The Plain Folks device is used by politicians, business, educators, and even churches to win our confidence by appearing to be common people just like ourselves. • For example, during election time, you will see candidates doing ordinary activities like walking his dog, exercising, or playing with his children. • They want to give the impression of being a regular guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hibyAJOSW8U

  13. Snob Appeal • The opposite of Plain Folk. • Some propagandists want you to have the feeling that only the best, most beautiful, or most elite people will possess or support a particular product or ideal. • Consider ads for Mercedes or Rolex. • Gold Cards • Platinum Cards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r48YiUzmCA&feature=related

  14. Logical Fallacy • A logical fallacy is an error of reasoning. When someone adopts a position, or tries to persuade someone else to adopt a position, based on a bad piece of reasoning, they commit a fallacy. • A=B then B=C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc2vA_1NCcE
