This is propaganda because
I feel this is propaganda because it attacks fast food workers and feel that a $15.00 minimum wage is necessary.
The message can be seen as harmful as it can ruin the chances of fast food workers getting the pay they think they deserve and in some peoples opinion they can also this post as rude, since it talks down to their profession in the fast food industry.
The propagandist, or the Facebook user that created this status, is selling her message by describing how different the two jobs is and the work that goes into these fields, but the unjust pay these fields want or have.
The emotional appeal present is appeal to social fears.This appeal is at work because the propagandist uses how scary it could be if her the paramedic who gets paid to make split decisions that save peoples lives would get paid less then fast food workers who couldn't even get her order right.
The subject of discussion is i the middle of harmful and beneficial depending on what side of the argument.
They are selling the message by pointing out the wrongs the fast food employees make and showing there claims for a higher amount of pay has no merit.
this appeals to plainfolk because regular people can relate to hardworkers.
It uses appeal to social fears and association
side note it is not about wanting money, it is about having a livable minimum wage, if a mcdonalds worker gets paid 15$ an hour the paramedic would get paid 20$,if you go with the current relationship that she is stating
The reading taps into this emotion by showing the fact that we value burger makers more than emts who make life or death decisions constantly which is just a terrible thing to even consider.
I agree with your opinion on how the propagandist is selling the message and how it is not right. I also believe the emotional appeal is Plainfolks. To add onto that the woman in the post is using an example for her life that everyone can relate to and that is what makes it plainfolks.
