Propaganda Techniques A propaganda technique is an improper appeal to emotion used for the purpose of swaying the opinions of an audience. The following propaganda techniques are common:

1. Bandwagon This technique involves encouraging people to think or act in some way simply because other people are doing so. Recycle what would go into the garbage or waste basket and join your friends and neighbors in saving our world.

2. Loaded words using words that have strong emotions: examples: peace, war, patriotism, freedom, hunger, and love. Love is a very special feeling, and people who care deeply should share an iced mocha today.

3. testimonial Using an expert or celebrity to sell or support. Film star Kellen Lutz says that when it comes to animals, you should adopt and save a homeless dog or cat.

4. Name calling Saying bad things about your competitor. People who oppose the funding for a new family recreation center are simply stubborn and narrow minded.

5. Plain folks Using ordinary people or trying to sound ordinary to sell something or persuade you to vote or support an idea The American Red Cross helps people like you and me when disaster strikes. Have you made your donation?

6. Glittering generalities Employ vague, sweeping statements (often slogans or simple catchphrases) using language associated with values and beliefs deeply held by the audience without providing supporting information or reason. They appeal to such notions as honor, glory, love of country, desire for peace, freedom, and family values. Red Queen is the most powerful and moving book ever published for young adult readers.

7. transfer A technique used to carry over the authority and approval of something we respect and revere to something the propagandist would have us accept. Propagandists often employ symbols (e.g., waving the flag) to stir our emotions and win our approval.
