Tehnica folosită
Activate Emotion
Este propagandă pentru că
This example shows activating emotion by using fear, guilt, and pride to change people's behavior. Benny the Bungler makes people feel guilty or afraid of helping the enemy, while Rosie the Riveter inspires pride and responsibility. This encourages americans to work harder, be careful, and support the war.
It is mostly beneficial because it connects people, but it can also be harmful as it uses emotional pressure instead of facts.
