Appealing to emotions rather than
reason to get people to think a
certain way
Its not bad, we all use it to get agreement

break my bones but
words will never hurt me
2. Glittering Generalities
• Vague, sweeping statements
(often slogans or simple
catchphrases). It says little
or nothing at all.

5. Card Stacking
Stating the good or bad
facts about the candidate or
product guaranteeing a
fixed result (stacking the
deck). It is hard to detect
because all information is
necessary for us to make
the best decision.

took us to Iraq.
How drug companies sell
drugs.

origins, someone you can trust and has
values like you.

and rolled up sleeves

follow the crowd. Creates
impression of wide support.
