"Animal Farm" by George Orwell: Can you be persuaded?

There are many different techniques to use when writing propaganda. Some methods surpass others, but many of them are very swaying! People use glittering generalities, intimidation, and loaded words, to make people believe what they are trying to spread. Many different types of people use techniques like these everyday, including politics, authors, actors, and sales people. The book "The Animal Farm" also uses propaganda, and shows how convincing it can be. Glittering Generalities are words …

…among the animals, from a false statement. Loaded words easily persuade people to think negatively or positively. Propaganda can make people do many things, which they do not want to do. These three ways are just of a few of the many that are usable in propaganda. The Animal Farm shows how easily people can be convinced. Humans often believe what they hear, and this is a main factor in why propaganda is so successful.
