Propaganda is a form of communication that aims to influence people's attitudes and perspectives by presenting only one side of an argument. It is usually repeated over various media to attract a wider audience. There are several techniques used in propaganda, including card stacking which shows only positive features and omits problems, name-calling which links people or ideas to negative symbols, and glittering generalities which uses emotionally appealing words to attract attention without substance. Other techniques are appealing to common folk, using flattery, implying everyone else is doing something, testimonials from authorities, transferring qualities between objects, oversimplifying issues, and loaded words.
