Name-Calling
Name calling, a type of propaganda used by many for their own good. There are specific ways on how and when it should be used. There are also specific places on where you can use it and who can use it. This method has ruined people lives; it has given some specific people a bad reputation. Made the people of the public think that the person they know isn’t what they think he is. Name-Calling is one of the many techniques used in propaganda. Propaganda is the act of spreading the wrong information to influence the people of the public’s opinions. It is used to support one’s own group and ruin the opposition’s reputation. Misleading ideas and lies are used to fool the public (cis, Propaganda). There are 11 techniques for propaganda, each has its different or own method on how to support or oppose, but the one that is most commonly used is Name-Calling. Name-Calling ties a person or cause to a largely observed bad and contradictory image (cis, Propaganda Techniques). Name-calling can be used by comparing two places. For example it can show food for a specific school and then compare it to somewhere else where it looks better and healthier for the kids. Where the food is much more well prepared , then showing a picture for the school and the food doesn’t look clean, might there be a piece of hair in the food (Nichole). Name-calling is used when there are 2 oppositions competing for something in specific. One of the oppositions might be losing the battle, so what they do is use the Name-Calling method on the winning side so its reputation on the public goes down and they (the losing side) can catch up. This Name-calling method is used a lot in politics. Every 4 years Name-calling is used a lot, and that is in the US Presidential Elections. For example Obama vs. McCain in the US President elections. McCain ruined or at least tried
