Question

Recognize Bias and Propaganda Read the quote by Jefferson on page 348. Is it propaganda? Explain.

Answer 1

Jefferson's quote will be an example of propaganda if it influences the reader to agree with a statement, without using evidence, but using persuasive, sentimental, and manipulative elements.

What is propaganda?

• It is a form of persuasion.
• It is the ability to convince people to support opinions, beliefs, and precepts.

Propaganda is a way of manipulating the public to support a particular speaker. This speaker presents a statement, without showing logical evidence that proves why that statement is correct and reliable.

However, this speaker uses emotional, religious, psychological, or any other element capable of manipulating the audience dishonestly.

An example of this can be seen in a person who claims that vaccines cause disease because God did not show in the Holy Bible that people should be vaccinated. This person did not use scientific evidence to confirm his claim but used religious elements to manipulate a Christian audience into supporting him.
