9. Bell Work Please pick up a Propaganda Notes Sheet from the front table Then please sign out an ipad from the cart and go to Mrs. V’s Website - http://teachers.sheboygan.k12.wi.us/lvandeven/http://teachers.sheboygan.k12.wi.us/lvandeven/ Then go to the Western Civ Resources page and scroll to the bottom Open the Propaganda Class Examples file

10. How would you define this? What is propaganda? Propaganda: Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

11. 10 Propaganda Techniques 1.Name calling 2.Glittering generalities 3.Euphemisms 4.Transfer 5.Testimonial 6.Plain folks 7.Bandwagon 8.Fear 9.Bad logic 10.Unwarranted extrapolation These techniques encourage you: To follow non-rational, emotional drives To NOT question the information presented To use a “we” v. “them” mentality

12. Name Calling Links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol to get the audience to reject the person The most obvious type of name calling involves bad names. Example: Fascist Pig Yuppie Bum Queer Terrorist

13. Glittering Generalities Name Calling in reverse "Associating something with a 'virtue word' and creating acceptance and approval without examination of the evidence." Vague, broad statements that will connect with your beliefs and values but they don’t really say anything of substance. Example: Think of peace, freedom, justice, family values, etc. “I stand for the American Dream.”

14. Euphemisms Attempts to pacify the audience in order to make an unpleasant reality more palatable. This is accomplished by using words that are bland and euphemistic. Example: Collateral damage Final solution War Department -> Department of Defense etc.

15. Transfer "Carries the respect and authority of something respected to something else to make it accepted. Also works with something that is disrespected." This is an effort to transfer your approval of something you respect to another something that the propagandist wants you to approve of. Example: Using a flag as a background for photographs helps. “I know the president, my opponent spends time with dictators” etc.

16. Testimonial ”Having some respected or hated person say that a given idea/program/product is good or bad.” Example: Pop celebrities telling you who to vote for. Remember that testimonials aren't worth much, particularly if the endorser is not an authority in the field. Michael Jordan wants you to buy Nike shoes

17. Plain Folks "The method by which a speaker attempts to convince the audience that their ideas are good because they are 'of the people,' the 'plain folks.'" The person speaking wants to look like the "everyman.” Careful choice of clothing, vocabulary, and mannerisms is necessary to make the identity connection. Example: Wearing flannel and jeans in Iowa when you really wear expensive suits

18. Bandwagon “Everyone else is doing it, and so should you." Few of us want to be left behind Example: Rent a stadium and fill it with people, make sure the media is there to see all of it Use symbols, colors, music, movement, all the dramatic arts. Addresses specific groups held together by common ties of nationality, religion, race, sex, vocation.

19. Fear Disaster will result if they do not follow a particular course of action Example: "The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might, and the Republic is in danger. Yes - danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without it our nation cannot survive." - Adolf Hitler, 1932

20. Bad Logic Drawing bad conclusions by forcing together facts that don’t necessarily go together Example: Premise 1: All Christians believe in God. Premise 2: All Muslims believe in God. Conclusion: All Christians are Muslims. or Premise 1: Hillary Clinton supports gun-control legislation. Premise 2: All fascist regimes of the twentieth century have passed gun-control legislation. Conclusion: Hillary Clinton is a fascist.

21. Unwarranted Extrapolation Making predictions about the future on the basis of a few small facts. Usually used to give a basis to a fear-appeal Example: “If you allow women to vote, men will lose all of their jobs and be forced to stay at home while their wives go to work and our society will crumble!”
