3. Publicis Paris

4. In a shocking advertisement, Publicis Paris manages to disturb the viewer by showing a terrifying image of a young girl hurt in a car accident. The image, of course, has been photoshopped for effect. Publicis Paris uses emotional propaganda to make viewers more aware of their own actions on the road.

5. Emotional propaganda is about appealing to the audience through something we respect or cherish. Children are highly valued in our society, so we want to keep them safe. The advertiser has taken the image of a sad, little child and distorted it. Her head has been digitally crushed in as a metaphor for the damage done to cars in accidents. It makes the viewer realize that children are easily damaged. The advertiser is also playing on the shock value of the image.

6. The advertisement seems so realistic; it hurts the viewer to see a child in pain. The words “…car accidents don’t just happen to cars” appear on the advertisement too (Publicis Paris). This slogan helps to emphasize the need to slow down while driving. The advertiser uses emotional propaganda because it is one of the most effective types. It stirs us so deeply that we feel compelled to listen.

7. Advertisers used emotional propaganda in an advertisement about safe driving. It shows a damaged girl with such shock value that the viewer feels obligated to listen. Although more than one type of propaganda technique is used in the advertisement, it is evident that emotional was the most affective. Because of the horrific nature and truth of the advertisement, the viewer feels compelled to slow down.
