                                                 Propaganda techniques below

  • bandwagon: This technique encourages you to believe that since everyone else is "supporting the cause," you should too. It plays on people's fear of feeling left out.
     
  • glittering generalities: This technique uses "virtue" words such as democracy, love, values, rights, patriotism, motherhood, and civilization. These words mean different things to different people. The sponsors of this type of propaganda want you to accept the message without seeing specific evidence.
     
  • logical fallacies: Propagandists often manipulate logic to promote their cause. They may present accurate information but make fallacious conclusions. Here is an example of this kind of argument: Candidate Smith has presented a plan to lower crime rates in Central City. Candidate Jones opposes Smith's plans for lowering crime. Therefore, Candidate Jones is against lower crime rates and favors criminals.
  •  
  • name-calling: Using this technique, a person or idea is linked to a negative image, label, or symbol. The propagandist attempts to get the audience to reject the person or idea on the basis of the negative image, label, or symbol.
     
  • plain folks: In this type of propaganda, a person, idea, or cause is portrayed as common and "of the people."
     
  • testimonial: In this type of propaganda, famous, well-known people support the idea or cause.
     
  • transfer: In this technique, the propagandist uses a symbol (usually patriotic or religious in nature) to transfer authority and prestige from that symbol to a person, cause, or idea. For example, a candidate for office might always stand in front of a flag when making a speech.
