What is Propaganda? Definition ● The manipulation of information to influence public opinion ● The spreading of ideas, facts, information, claims, or rumors for the purpose of helping OR hurting an institution, a cause, or a purpose. Characteristics of Propaganda ● Propaganda’s persuasive techniques are regularly applied by politicians, advertisers, journalists, radio personalities, and others who are interested in influencing human behavior. ● Propagandistic messages can be used to accomplish positive social ends, as in campaigns to reduce drunk driving, but they are also used to win elections and to sell products. Propaganda ● Persuading with BRIEF techniques not massive amounts of facts (flyers, pins, ads, slogans, etc.) ● Can manipulate people or distort information ● Often appeals to emotions Examples of Propaganda ● During WWII, propaganda was used by nations (Russia & the United States) on both sides to shape public opinion and build loyalty. ● The Nazis used propaganda to promote Nazism, anti-Semitism, and the belief of an Aryan master race. ● Nazi propaganda was delivered through the Nazi-controlled mass media, banners, posters, and in fanatical/passionate speeches to audiences at mass rallies. TYPES OF PROPAGANDA ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Plain Folk Bandwagon Testimonial Transfer Fear Logical Fallacies Glittering Generalities Name-calling PLAIN FOLKS ● ● ● “Common man” The candidate or cause that is being promoted attempts to reflect the common sense of people Uses ordinary language or mannerisms Example: After a morning speech to wealthy Democrat donors, Bill Clinton stops by McDonald’s for a burger, fries, and photo-op BANDWAGON ● ● ● The basic idea behind the bandwagon approach is just that, “getting on the bandwagon.” This type of propaganda puts forth the idea that everyone is doing this, or everyone supports this person/cause, so should you. This appeals to people because no one wants to feel left out from what is perceived to be the “popular” trend. Example: Everyone in Lemmingtown is behind Jim Duffy for Mayor. Shouldn’t you be part of this winning team?

In advertising, for example, athletes are often paid millions of dollars to promote sport shoes, equipment, and fast food. Example: “Sam Slugger”, a baseball Hall of Famer who led the pros in hitting for years, appears in a television ad supporting Mike Politico for U.S. Senate. Since Sam is well known and respected in his home state and nationally, he will likely gain Mike Politico many votes just by his appearance with the candidate. TRANSFER ● ● Employs the use of symbols, quotes, or images of famous people to convey a message not necessarily associated with them. Uses images that stir emotions -Religion - Science - Medicine Example: The environmentalist group PEOPLE PROMOTING PLANTS, in its attempt to prevent a highway from destroying the natural habitat of thousands of plant species, produces a television ad with a “scientist” in a white lab coat explaining the dramatic consequences of altering the food chain by destroying this habitat. FEAR 4 Elements of a Successful FEAR appeal ● ● ● ● Use threats Makes a specific recommendation about how the audience should behave Audience must feel that the recommendation will be effective in addressing the threat. Audience must feel that they are not powerless and capable of performing the recommended behavior. Example: The Citizens for Retired Rights present a magazine ad showing an elderly couple living in poverty because their social security benefits have been drastically cut by the Republicans in Congress. The solution? The Citizens for Retired Rights urges you to vote Democrats. Logical Fallacies ● ● ● Applying logic, one can usually draw a conclusion from one or more established premises. Tendency to make huge predictions about the future on the basis of a few small facts. Can be true or false Example: Premise 1: Tyler got a speeding ticket. Premise 2: Tyler got in a fender bender Conclusion: Tyler is a bad driver. Glittering Generalities ● ● A glittering generality (also called glowing generality) is an emotionally appealing phrase so closely associated with highly valued concepts and beliefs that it carries conviction without supporting information or reason. Seeks to make us approve and accept without examining Example: An ad by a cigarette manufacturer proclaims to smokers: Don’t let them take your rights away! (*Rights is a powerful word, something that stirs the emotions of many, but few on either side would agree on exactly what the ‘rights’ of smokers are.) Name-calling ● ● ● The opposite of Glittering Generalities Links a person or idea to a negative symbol Can be obvious or subtle (involves words or phrases that are selected because they possess a negative emotional charge) Example: My opponent is a flip-flop man who cannot make up his mind. He changes mind with the breeze! How could anyone follow such a weak-willed flip-flopper? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2c2mPpvcpw Identify the type of propaganda that is being used in each Super Bowl commercial Small Group Assignment In your small groups work with your partner(s) to find different examples of propaganda in Animal Farm.
