What is Propaganda?
Propaganda is a message
aimed at influencing an
opinion. Spread an opinion.
One of the methods used in
Psy Ops.
Why do we use Propaganda?
Each
of the nations in WWI
used propaganda.
They used posters to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
justify their involvement to
their own people.
To recruit men into the Armed
forces
To raise money and resources
To urge conservation of
resources.
Demoralize the enemy.
Why Posters?
Television
had not
yet been invented
Not everyone
owned or had
access to a radio
Mass printing made
it very efficient.
Propaganda uses Seven Techniques
to get their message across
1. Name
Calling:
hanging a bad
label on an
idea,
symbolized by a
hand turning
thumbs down;
2. Card Stacking
Most of the
information presented
is true, but key facts
are left out.
What key facts do you
think are left off this
propaganda?
3. Testimonial
.Associates
a
respected person or
someone with
experience to endorse
a cause by giving it
their stamp of
approval.
4. Plain Folks
Attempts to convince
the audience that the
spokesperson is from
humble origins,
someone they can trust
and who has their
interests at heart.
Sometimes uses accents
or dialect of the intended
audience.
5. Transfer
Transfers
authority of
something we respect
and revere to something
the author would have
us accept.
Propagandists
often
employ symbols (e.g.,
waving the flag) to stir
our emotions and win
our approval.
6. Glittering Generality
Broad
statements (often
slogans or simple
catchphrases) using
language associated with
values and beliefs deeply
held by the audience.
They
appeal to such
notions as honor, glory,
love of country, desire for
peace, freedom, and
family values.
7. Band Wagon
-
Creates the impression that
everybody is doing it, you
should too!
-
It reinforces the human
desire to be on the winning
side.
