Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

TECHNIQUES:
* Ad hominem
A Latin phrase which has come to mean attacking your opponent, as opposed to attacking their arguments.

* Ad nauseam
This argument approach uses tireless repetition of an idea.

* Appeal to authority

* Appeal to fear

* Appeal to prejudice

* Demonizing the enemy

* Disinformation

* Flag-waving

* Glittering generalities

* Half-truth

* Intentional vagueness

ask for your advice, go against the advice given, and come back for more advice that they'll probably never use?

Anyone read this book.... Judith Rossner is the author.

Maybe you saw the horrible adaptation of it into a movie... Diane Keaton and Richard Gere.

Well, it is about a woman who is a professional, almost shy even. A teacher, actually. She starts dating a kind, polite caring guy but she finds he is too boring. She then meets the bad boy (the stereotypes of the characters are a bit exaggerated))... and finds the best of both worlds in two men. She dates the one and parties and have sex with the other.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
