What is propaganda?

• A way of manipulating people using images and words to achieve a desired affect or outcome

• Propaganda clouds reality and gets in the way of clear and honest thinking

What is propaganda in your own words?

How does propaganda do this?

Method:• Bandwagon:

encourages you to think that because everyone else is doing something, you should do it too, or you'll be left out.

Method:• Testimonial: It is when

"big name" personalities are used to endorse a product.

• Fear: It informs people that personal danger is about to happen if they do or do not do some specific action.

• Glittering Generalities: Use of words and images that generally carry a favorable meaning to everyone (Examples: liberty, democracy, and freedom).

"Open the door to freedom! Put a strong man at the helm! Out of the swamp! Forward with the powers of renewal!”

• Name Calling: the use of derogatory terms, stereotypes or outright racism to suggest that the enemy is of less value or not human.
