Notes on "Propaganda Techniques in Today's advertising" by Ann McClintock.

Please post your notes here. You can do this until Thursday March 11.

As the author said Propaganda influence people´s opinion and often makes as buy things that are not necessary. I think that the techniques that advertisers use to persuade people to buy things can be affective when they enter in people´s feeling. We live in a sensual world where everyone is looking to feel different emotions that is why, when propagandas use the technique “transfer” improving the product with any symbol, creates on people trust and sensitivity toward the products or the politician that is trying to win votes. We live surround of propaganda of any kind, for me a young female feels like propaganda manipulates me all the time and make me feel vulnerable. One way to attract more buyers is putting skinny models for the clothes or shoes and our innocents minds think that those shoes or clothes will make as look the same. Propaganda often makes people have low self-esteem and buy things that are not necessary.
