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

History

REY [17]4 years ago

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)

A positive result of trade agreements such as NAFTA and the EU is
8090 [49]

Answer:

A.) fewer sanctions against developing economies

Explanation:

The trade agreements such as NAFTA and the EU have been of great benefit for strengthening the economies of the member countries. It has also enabled the developing countries to have much better opportunities on the market, and their economies to have much quicker development and thrive, as the sanctions are non-existent between the member countries. We can take Mexico as an example from NAFTA, as it was the one that was the least developed, but since NAFTA was formed, its economy is constantly on the rise. In the EU we can take Poland as an example. A former communist country that had lot of difficulties, since joining the EU, managed to have constant rise in its economy, and the country has been developing very well.
