LET US KNOW
MELCs: identifies the common propaganda techniques used in advertising.
H6CH-IVg-19
analyzes packaging and labels of health products. H6CH-IVh-21
LET US STUDY
There are varied propaganda techniques that could influence you to make judgment.
These are commonly used in advertisements, texts, passages or messages that can be
watched, read or heard.
This technique encourages you to “jump on board” or take part in something because
everyone else is doing it too.
This technique involves calling the competition or the opposing side names. It
persuades you to avail the product or service because of the negative image it creates against
another product or service.
This propaganda uses advertisement war with other products in the market.
Testimonial
This technique involves having a celebrity or other respectable person (like a doctor)
endorse a product, person, or cause.
Glittering Generality
This technique involves using empty words, or words that just sound good, to make a
person, product, or cause sound good.
You give in because you are overwhelmed by vague, sweeping statements that usually
come in slogans or single catch phrases.
Glittering words include hope, change, possibility, justice, and others that give off an
extremely positive vibe.
It makes use of fancy words that elicit a positive response or feeling from you.
Plain Folks
This technique uses ordinary people to show that the product is being used by usual persons. It
shows how a particular product or service brought value to a regular human being like
themselves.
Similar experience with a brand as people who you have something in common with.
Card Stacking
This technique involves listing all of the features or good aspects or a product, person,
or cause.
Transfer
This is an effort to transfer your approval of something you respect and approve of to another
that the propagandist wants you to approve of.
People buy health products and services from what they see or hear. Thus, it is wise to
be well-informed about health products and services. Consumer health could be attained
through proper health information, honest and improved health products and services.
Whenever you see an advertisement or hear someone give speech, ask yourself: How
do they want me to feel? How are they trying to influence or manipulate me?
Reading product labels help consumers choose items that will give the best value of
money and the best value of health.
In evaluating health products, one must first inquire or ask additional questions to
follow up vague information about the products. Second, is to identify factual information from
propaganda. An advertisement that sounds too good to be true is indeed a propaganda.
