What is Propaganda? • Method or approach to spread ideas that further a cause, such as political, commercial, or religious • There are many types of propaganda, but 7 main types
7 Types of Propaganda • 1. Name Calling • 2. Glittering Generalities • 3. Transfer • 4. Testimonial • 5. Plain Folk • 6. Card Stacking • 7. Bandwagon
Name Calling • Saying bad things about your competitor • The name calling links the person or idea to a negative symbol • Negative words • Example: Joel is a dictator during group work, never letting others share their ideas. The word “dictator” is a negative term labelling Joel. • Obamacare is an un-American form of healthcare! The word “un-American” would be offensive to Obama and is considered calling him a “bad” name.
Name Calling Example • Why are these examples of Name Calling? • What can you guess about Ann Coulter?
Glittering Generalities • Using words that appeal to our emotions, such as love, generosity, brotherhood, freedom, honor, liberty, social justice, etc. • Emotion words that are linked to a person or product • Positive words
Glittering Generalities Example • Appealing words “things go better” gives positive feelings about the product
Glittering Generalities Example #2 • John McCain ran for president against President Obama. • What does this picture show you? • What do the words make you think/feel?
Transfer • Using good feelings, looks or ideas conveyed to the person whom the product is for • Positive images
Testimonial • Using a famous person to recommend a person, product or idea • “I want to use this (or do this) because this famous person is using this!!!”
Plain Folk • Trying to show that a person or product is good for “ordinary” people, because a person is “just like you” and understands you • “This person is JUST LIKE ME so I should listen to him and use this product!”
Card Stacking • Card stacking persuades people by giving false facts, rearranging facts, or withholding the real facts to alter the truth.
Bandwagon • Persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it. • “Everyone else is doing it” • “It could work for you too”
