Propaganda or Motivation?

.

Propaganda Definition

Propaganda Strategies

NAME CALLING – links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. Examples: commie, fascist, yuppie

GLITTERING GENERALITIES – use of virtue words; the opposite of name calling, i.e., links a person, or

idea, to a positive symbol. Examples: democracy, patriotism, family

The next two are ways of making false connections:

TRANSFER – a device by which the propagandist links the authority or prestige of something well respected

and revered, such as church or nation, to something he would have us accept. Example: a political activist

closes her speech with a prayer

TESTIMONIAL – a public figure or a celebrity promotes or endorses a product, a policy, or a political

candidate. Examples: an athlete appears on the Wheaties box; an actor speaks at a political rally The following

three constitute special appeals:

PLAIN FOLKS – attempt to convince the audience that a prominent person and his ideas are “of the people.”

Examples: a prominent politician eats at McDonald’s; an actress is photographed shopping for groceries

BANDWAGON – makes the appeal that “everyone else is doing it, and so should you.” Examples: an ad states

that “everyone is rushing down to their Ford dealer”

FEAR – plays on deep-seated fears; warns the audience that disaster will result if they do not follow a

particular course of action. Example: an insurance company pamphlet includes pictures of houses destroyed

floods, followed up by details about home-owners’ insurance.

The next two are types of logical fallacies:

BAD LOGIC – an illogical message is not necessarily propagandistic; it can be just a logical mistake; it is

propaganda if logic is manipulated deliberately to promote a cause. Example: Senator X wants toregulate the

power industry. All Communist governments regulate their power industries. Senator X is a Communist.

UNWARRANTED EXTRAPOLATION – making huge predictions about the future on the basis of a few

small facts. Example: If the U.S. approves NAFTA, thousands of jobs and factories will move to Mexico.

Examples of Propaganda in Video:
