Bandwagon & Glittering Generality Bandwagon: persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvCTaccEkMI Glittering Generality: a statement that sounds good but is meaningless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdnD3-nArRU

Testimonials & Endorsements using the words or a picture of a famous person to persuade you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDO9hP-xKL8

Symbols & Just Plain Folks Symbols: using symbols in commercials for appearances sake. Just Plain Folks: showing that a candidate is simply a ‘normal person’ like everyone else
