"Comrade Lenin Cleanses the Earth of Filth"
When propagandists use name-calling symbols and glittering generalities , they are attempting to arouse their audience with vivid, emotionally suggestive words.

Glittering Generalities
• We believe in, fight for, live by virtue words about which we have deep-set ideas.
• e.g. Civilization, Christianity, good, proper, right, democracy, patriotism, motherhood, fatherhood, science, medicine, health, love.

Euphemisms
An attempt to pacify the audience in order to make an unpleasant reality more palatable. This is accomplished by using words that are bland and euphemistic.

Transfer
Transfer is a device by which the propagandist carries over the authority, sanction, and prestige of something we respect and revere to something he would have us accept.
“3 out of four dentists say Crest is the best!”

Plain folks
By using the plain-folks technique, speakers attempt to convince their audience that they, and their ideas, are "of the people." The device is used by advertisers and politicians alike.

BandwagonThe propagandist appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the crowd. Because he wants us to follow the crowd in masses, he directs his appeal to groups held together already by common ties, ties of nationality, religion, race, sex, vocation.

FEAR
When a propagandist warns members of her audience that disaster will result if they do not follow a particular course of action, she is using the fear appeal. By playing on the audience's deep-seated fears, practitioners of this technique hope to redirect attention away from the merits of a particular proposal and toward steps that can be taken to reduce the fear.
