Propaganda Technique

This is an example of black and white fallacy, which is an ad that two has two sides. If you're with one side than you're against the other, or the enemy of the other side. Basically saying that your with something or you're not- http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/propaganda_shutmouth.jpg

Direct order is used to simplify the decision making process by using images and words to tell the audience exactly what actions to take, eliminating any other possible choices. This ad is very well known , and was used to get people into the army. http://ranger25.com/Ranger25Photos/I%20WANT%20YOU.jpg

The big lie explains the repeated articulation of a complex of events that justify subsequent action. This ad was also know as a stab in the back, which blamed the Jews for the underlining reason of why the Germans were defeated n WWI

  1. Good examples. "You shut your mouth" looks like it might be a justification for bombing civilians.
