Which propaganda technique is being used when a political candidate says he stands for "peace, prosperity, and progress"?

History

REY [17]3 years ago
4 0

Correct answer: GLITTERING GENERALITIES

Explanation:

As defined by Richard Nordquist, writing for ThoughtCo, "A glittering generality is a vague word or phrase used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information."

In the political candidate's promise, "peace, prosperity, and progress" are all vague terms, without specifying how exactly the candidate will work to achieve those goals.   Offering glittering generalities is not wrong, but if there are no concrete action plans or details provided, then the phrases are only propaganda.

As to the other items listed, here are quick definitions of how those forms of propaganda work:

  • Bandwagon = giving the impression that everyone else is jumping on board with this program or movement, so you don't want to miss out.
  • Card stacking = when a political candidate rehearses all his accomplishments but leaves out any items that would show his weaknesses or failures.
  • Plain folks = presenting oneself as a "regular guy" or gal, a person of the people, just like the average voter (even if that's not really true of the identify of the candidate)

What was the idea behind citizen owning property in order to vote
Ksenya-84 [330]

<u>Answer:</u>

The idea behind citizen owning property in order to vote was that the Americans don't want to give recognition to people from other race or ethnicity.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1789, it was decided that only fair Americans above 21 years of age and have ownership of land will get the right to vote. It should compulsorily be noted that such elites constituted a very meagre population.

This was a discriminatory type of enfranchisement as it curbs the right to vote of black men and landless African Americans.

In what two ways were Indians grouped into castes
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

There are two bases of the Indian social division into castes. The castes system has been consolidated and fed by religious practices. Ancient Hindu texts speak about four castes  or profession: brahmins (priests), warriors, merchants and workers. Brahmins were at the top of society, the elite. The other source is simply social practice. There are still several groups that are seen as inferior , the "untouchables" just like the dalits; they perform the lowest and dirtiest jobs.    Though castes don´t exist formally in Indian law, they exist in reality and social and racial divisions run still deep in India.
