E N D
Propaganda refers to a type of message aimed at influencing opinions and/or the behavior of people. Propaganda may provide only partial information or be deliberately misleading. Propaganda
Enthusiastic or energetic statement presented as fact, although its not necessarily true. Assertion
Bandwagon • Appeals to desire to follow the crowd • Example – Polls show that more than 80% of voters support me!
Use only those facts that support your argument. Example – My opponent voted against Social Security. (But did no mention that she voted against it because the proposed increase was to small.) Card Stacking
Use words and phrases that sound appealing and that everyone agrees with. Example – I stand for freedom and the American way. Glittering Generality
The "lesser of two evils" technique tries to convince us of an idea or proposal by presenting it as the least offensive option. Lesser of Two Evils
NameCalling • Attach negative labels to your opponent. • Example – He’s soft on crime.
This is an attempt to simplify a complex situation by presenting one specific group or person as the enemy. Pinpointing the Enemy
Tell voters you are just like them – an ordinary person with similar needs and ideas. Example – I’ve lived in this city all my life. My children go to the same schools as your children.- PlainFolks
Simplification is extremely similar to pinpointing the enemy, in that it often reduces a complex situation to a clear-cut choice involving good and evil. Simplification (Stereotyping)
Testimonials are quotations or endorsements, in or out of context, which attempt to connect a famous or respectable person with a product or item. Testimonial
Transfer • Connect yourself to a respected person, group, or symbol • Example – In the words of Abraham Lincoln
