5 Types of Propaganda Technique.

Demonizing the enemy:
 'Demonization of the enemy or Dehumanization of the enemy is a propoganda technique  which promotes an idea about the enemy being threatening evil aggressor with only destructive objectives. Demonization is the oldest propaganda technique aimed to inspire hatred toward the enemy necessary to hurt them more easily, to preserve and mobilize allies and demoralize the enemy. 'https://en.wikipedia.org













Half Truth propaganda:
'A half-truth is a deceptive statement that includes some element of truth. The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evadeblame or misrepresent the truth'.https://en.wikipedia.org












Name calling propaganda:
'Name calling is abusive or insulting language referring to a person or group, a verbal abuse'.https://en.wikipedia.org











Stereotyping, name calling or labelling:
This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable. For instance, reporting on a foreign country or social group may focus on the stereotypical traits that the reader expects, even though they are far from being representative of the whole country or group; such reporting often focuses on the anecdotal. In graphic propaganda, including war posters, this might include portraying enemies with stereotyped racial features.'https://en.wikipedia.org

Fear , uncertainty and doubt:
An attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative and dubious/false information designed to undermine the credibility of their beliefs.
