  1. World War I Propaganda

  2. Definition Propaganda is defined as: Information, ideas or rumors deliberately spread to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

  3. The Use of Propaganda • Justify involvement in the war • Solicit men to join • Procure money and resources to sustain their military campaign • Boost morale • Urge the public to save • Encourage the purchase of war bonds

  4. Forms of Propaganda • Speeches • Photos • Newsreels • Magazines and newspaper articles • POSTERS

  5. Propaganda Techniques • Bandwagon: persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it • Testimonial: using the words of a famous person to persuade

  6. Propaganda Techniques • Transfer: using the names or pictures of famous people, but not direct quotations • Repetition: the product name is repeated at least four times • Emotional words: words that will make people feel strongly about someone or something

  7. Techniques • Appeal to authority: quoting prominent figures to support a position, idea or course of action • Appeal to fear: building support by instilling anxiety and panic in the general population

  8. Techniques • Black and white fallacy: providing only two choices (Ex. “you are either with us or you are with the enemy.”) • Common man: using ordinary language and mannerisms to convince the audience that a position represents the common person

  9. Techniques • Demonizing the enemy: making individuals from the opposing nation appear to be subhuman, worthless, or immoral through suggestion or false accusations

  10. Techniques • Direct order: telling the audience exactly what actions to take and eliminating any other possible choices. • Flag-waving: justifying an action on the grounds that doing so will make one more patriotic

  11. Techniques • Oversimplification: providing simple answers to complex social, political, economic, or military problems • Virtue words: using words that tend to produce a positive image when attached to a person or issue. (Ex. peace, , happiness, security, wise leadership, freedom)
