Propaganda: The art of persuasion. It is the spreading of ideas, information or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause or a person.

Students should be able to identify and comprehend the techniques listed below: 1. Name-calling is an attack on a person instead of an issue. The name-calling technique links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. 2. A bandwagon appeal tries to persuade the reader to do, think or buy something because it is popular or because “everyone” is doing it. Bandwagon attempts to persuade the target audience to take a course of action “everyone else is taking.” 3. A red herring is an attempt to distract the reader or consumer with details not relevant to the argument. 4. An emotional appeal tries to persuade the reader by using words that appeal to the reader’s emotions instead of to logic or reason. 5. A testimonial attempts to persuade the reader by using a famous person to endorse a product or idea (for instance, the celebrity endorsement). 6. Repetition attempts to persuade the reader by repeating a message over and over again. 7. A sweeping or over generalization (stereotyping) makes an oversimplified statement about a group based on limited information. 8. A circular argument states a conclusion as part of the proof of the argument and provides no new factual information to make an informed decision. This type of reasoning merely repeats an idea in different words rather than giving reasons to support it. 9. An appeal to numbers, facts, or statistics attempts to persuade by showing how many people think something is true. 10.Loaded language - using descriptive words that have a strong positive or negative association to influence a person's to buy, believe, or do something.
