23
Propaganda
24
What is it?

• Media designed to influence public opinion on a
  social or political issue, often by appealing to
  fear or prejudice

25
Types of Propaganda

• Word Games
• False Connections
• Special Appeals
• Logical Fallacies

26
Word Games

• Name calling- links a person or idea to a
  negative symbol- hope that audience will reject
  the person or idea based on the symbol rather
  than available evidence- most obvious kind
  involves bad names- more subtle involves words
  that possess a negative or emotional charge
• -anything come to mind?

27
Word Games

• Glittering generalities- make the audience
  approve and accept without examining the
  evidence- Using emotionally charged words- Make
  something unpleasant seem more acceptable

• The Glittering Generality is, in short, Name
  Calling in reverse. While Name Calling seeks to
  make us form a judgment to reject and condemn
  without examining the evidence, the Glittering
  Generality device seeks to make us approve and
  accept without examining the evidence.

30
False Connections

• Transfer - Using things people accept to get
  the public to accept something else
• - symbols constantly used- an idea or program
  should not be accepted or rejected simply because
  it has been linked to a symbol/something else

31
False Connections

• Testimonial- misuse in citing individuals who
  are not qualified to make judgments about a
  particular issue
• Example In my last movie, I saved my family
  from terrorists and I'm supporting this party
  because they will save you from terrorists!

32
Special Appeals

• Plain folksspeakers attempt to convince their
  audience that they, and their ideas, areof the
  people
• Band wagonFalse sense of a rush to join
  something that doesnt truly exist
• everyone else is doing it, and so should you

33
Special Appeals

• Fear- warn audience that disaster will result
  if they dont follow a particular course of
  action
• Four elements for a successful fear campaign
• Threat
• Specific recommendation of how to behave
• Perception that recommendation will reduce threat
  
• Perception that the audience is capable to
  performing the behavior

34
Logical Fallacies

• Bad logic - logic is the process of drawing a
  conclusion from one or more ideas/facts-
  propagandists intentionally manipulate logic in
  order to promote their cause

35

• Unwarranted extrapolation- extrapolation is a
  tendency to make huge predictions about the
  future on the basis of a few facts- such
  predictions often form the basis for an effective
  fear-appeal

36
Animal Farm Propaganda

• You should be aware of the message the media
  sends to you and how they do it.
• In Animal Farm, you should be aware of the
  messages the animals are being given by the pigs,
  how the pigs are giving the messages, and how the
  animals are responding to the messages.
