Glittering Generalities
• The act of referring to words or ideas that evoke a positive emotional response from an audience.
![Page 19: The Function of Music as Propaganda:](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020320/56816950550346895de0f2df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Glittering Generalities Examples• Food products will quickly label their foods as low fat
hinting that they are more healthy, when, in fact, the product might be high in calories.
• Advertisers will sometimes give an incomplete comparison like “better tasting.”Better tasting than what? Spam? Dirt?
• Cascade claims that their detergent will leave your dishes virtually spotless. In other words, there will be some spots.
• Politicians will associate themselves with concepts which have positive connotations. For example, George W. Bush claimed to have a compassionate conservatism as opposed to more negative reference to the conservative right.
