This is propaganda because
It's a charming video that appeals by the pace and rhythm of small moments. I think it is effective in making people feel less anxious and paranoid about surveillance

    This a form of propaganda because it was saying that people do strange and crazy things.It is harmful because when people do crazy things they could get cut or scraped really bad. It is also saying that now a days people just don't care. This is a appeal of pity

    This videos propaganda appeals to both self-esteem and association. It appeals to self-esteem because it is making people feel more comfortable around surveillance cameras, since some people normally are not very comfortable with them. This also appeals to association because normally when people use surveillance cameras its to show or catch the bad things like stealing, fighting, etc but in this video its sharing how there are good things these cameras catch on video.

    This is propaganda because this video is trying to show that most people aren't criminals and are really good at heart and to make people less worried about going out into the world.

    I think that this goes with association of plainfolks because it shows only the good sides of people to make us think that the world isn't all that bad but it doesn't show the bad stuff that people do in the world. It goes with association of self-esteem also because it's telling us how good we could be and we could have faith in humanity.

    The message qualifies as propaganda by changing peoples thoughts of the world and the people in it. This is beneficial because it shows all the kind thinks people do for each other. This is selling the message by show us how kind most people are. The emotional appeal is kindness because it shows how kind people are.

    This message qualifies as propaganda because it is persuading you that security cameras have a lot of good in having them. This message is beneficial because it gives us a lot of examples taken from security cameras of good footage of things that were caught on camera. Propaganda is selling this message by only showing you the pros of having security cameras and not the cons. An emotional appeal to this message would be appeal to self esteem because it shows you that it is beneficial to have these cameras and that you shouldn't be scared by them and you should feel secure.

    this is propaganda because they are advertising security cameras. I think its beneficial even though its trying to sell security cameras because it shows different types people doing weird things or helping others out and to accept them how they are and respect one another. associations

    Its propaganda because its advertising security cameras in a good way. Its beneficial because its showing there are some good people in the world and the security cameras dont always catch bad things some can be good. There selling the message by showing people doing nice things. It would be self esteem because it makes you feel better and more safe.

    I agree with Alondra R. that the propagandist is only showing the pros of security cameras. I disagree that they are appealing to self-esteem. I think they're using associations by making you think of good acts when you think of cameras.

    I agree with Alondra R. because it only shows the pros of having security cameras and not the cons with having them. I disagree with the part of feeling secure because people notice that the cameras are watching your every move and even while you do personal things so they wouldn't feel all that secure
