What is Propaganda? Spreading of information to help or to hurt a cause Telling only the side you want people to know Appealing to the emotions rather than the intellect http://rs6.loc.gov/ammem/ccmphtml/ccimages/w6613.jpg http://greenorlando.com/images/cocacolapolarbear.gif http://www.thematzats.com/propaganda/prop/sld002.htm

Transfer
Symbols and ideas with positive connotations are used to suggest that the positive qualities should be associated with the product and the product user… the propagandist tries to transfer authority, sanction, and prestige to something the consumer admires (like science, religion, etc.) to the product so it is accepted http://www.trendhunter.com/images/phpthumbnails/23995_1_468.jpeg

Glittering Generalities
vague, “virtue” words are used to suggest a positive meaning without actually really making any guarantee – words such as dignity, freedom, fame, integrity, justice, love and respect, are used to appeal to values, which often themselves trigger powerful emotions –seeking to make us approve and accept without examining the evidence http://www.arps.org/users/hs/larchevl/projects/photoshop/magazinead/Appeals/internationalcoffee.jpg
