Can you recognize any of these propaganda techniques in the media?
  • Bandwagon/Snob Appeal: ("Everyone is wearing/seeing/doing." "Only a chosen few get to....")
  • Overgeneralizing: "Today's students are smarter than their parents were." Loud music will attract the attention of teenagers.
  • Name calling: Racist....Thug.....Sexist....Radical
  • Circular Reasoning: " Do it because it's something students should do."
  • Either/Or Fallacy: "Either you like your teacher or you don't" It's either black or white. It's my way, or the highway.
