PROPAGANDA What it is, how it’s used, and how you need to be aware! Propaganda Defined • Verb - the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, cause, or a person • Noun – ideas, facts or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause Two Categories of Propaganda • Revealed Propaganda ~ Very obvious propaganda Ex: A clothing ad in a teen magazine. You know “they” are trying to get you as a teen to buy the clothes because the ad suggests if you have the clothes, they will make you beautiful & popular. • Concealed Propaganda ~ used to influence people without making the purpose behind the message so obvious. Ex: Using a celebrity in a clothing ad. You idolize the star and want to be like them so you go out and get the clothes they claim to wear. 8 Different Types of Propaganda • With your Book Clubs, you will be given definitions of 8 types of propaganda. • Your job is to read the definition and discuss what it means. • You should attempt to generate real life examples you’ve seen or heard. 8 Types • • • • • • • • Fear Glittering Generalities Loaded Language Bandwagon Testimonials Plain Folks Appeal Name Calling Card Stacking 1 • Bandwagon - everyone is doing this or believes this or supports this and YOU don’t want to be the ONLY one left out. 2 • Testimonials – A celebrity endorsement of a philosophy, movement, candidate, or idea. I believe in it and you should, too! 3 • Name Calling – just what it sounds like, you lump a group together in a negative way to make your group sound better. 4 • Glittering Generalities – using slogans or sayings or even one word that sound really good but don’t really give much information. 5 • Plain Folks Appeal – a technique used to build trust; I’m just like you and this is how I feel, believe, think, or support. 6 • Card Stacking – Showing favoritism; larger print or headline for what is supported, a nicer picture, a more attractive presentation. 7 • Loaded Language – Using words to make a certain group or idea or belief sound better or worse depending on how you feel. 8 • Fear – Presenting a dreaded outcome and following it up with the kind of thing needed to avoid the horrible outcome. One more… • Premise 1: George W. Bush supports gun control. • Premise 2: Communist regimes have always supported gun control. • Conclusion: George W. Bush is a communist. What type of propaganda is this? Any guesses? Answer • We draw a conclusion based on logic BUT the conclusion is not necessarily true. • LOGICAL FALLACIES NOW… • With your Book Clubs, discuss the different types of propaganda and come up with examples of each one. • Be prepared to discuss as a whole class. HOMEWORK • • • • Find a real life example of propaganda. It should be a current example. Define what group it falls into. Be ready to explain it to your classmates tomorrow.
