Propaganda and Political Cartoons
2
How can art be used to sway one’s opinions?
4
Key Term Propaganda- information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
5
Propaganda is commonly used by the media. The media uses propaganda to publicize a certain issue. The media can take two sides, a positive or negative side. For example, if the U.S. wants to go to war with the Germans, the media will make the U.S. soldiers look like heroes and the German soldiers look barbaric.
6
When the media does this, it is often analyzed as a political cartoon. The artists displays their views through the use of images with words in the cartoon. The picture may have a caption or two to clarify what the author is trying to state. Artists who make these propaganda images often blow them out of proportion by favoring one side over the other.
7
Key Term Political Cartoon- illustrations or comic strips containing a political or social message that usually relates to current events or personalities.
8
Certain political cartoons are straight forward and direct. Political cartoons have been around for centuries. The most daring of people who spoke their mind without liberties or freedoms created political cartoons since the 1600's.
9
Propaganda is designed to persuade. Its purpose is to influence your opinions, emotions, attitudes, or behavior. It seeks to “guide your choice.”

12
Everybody is doing this. If you want to fit in, you need to “jump on the bandwagon” and do it too. The implication is that you must JOIN in to FIT in.
13
A negative word or feeling is attached to an idea, product, or person. If that word or feeling goes along with that person or idea, the implication is that we shouldn’t be interested in it.
14
A famous person endorses an idea, a product, a candidate. If someone famous uses this product, believes this idea, or supports this candidate, so should we.
15
A commonly admired virtue is used to inspire positive feelings for a person, idea, or product. Words like truth, democracy, beauty, timeless are examples of those general terms.
16
This idea, product, or person is associated with normal, everyday people and activities.
17
Symbols, quotes, or images of famous people are used to convey a message. The message may not necessarily be associated with them.
18
Words that leave us with positive or negative feelings are used to describe a product, person, or idea. We associate those words and, therefore, those feelings with the product.
19
Factual supporting details are used though they do not support the conclusion. It works like this: Christians believe in God. Muslims believe in God. Christians are Muslims.
20
Our fears are displayed. Ideas, candidates, or products are shown to put our fears to rest.
