 * March 26th, 2009 - Propaganda Techniques**

I believe this video is Assertion Propaganda because it is a statement that is said to be a fact, but it is not necessarily true. The video states that a fallout shelter in your basement will protect you from nuclear bombs, but has little supporting evidence that it will. This advertisement is dangerous because if one believes that this shelter in their basement can protect them form a nuclear bomb, they would not be protected from one. The 'scientist' in this video is stating that a fallout shelter is the best protection from a nuclear bomb, and that you should just accept this statement without any questions.
 * ASSERTION:**


 * CARD STACKING:**

This advertisement is a version of Card Stacking Propaganda because Russia is presenting positive information to the public. Russia is advertising that schools in the USSR are flourishing and times are good. On the contrary, this picture is advertising that the US schools are being closed all the time. This advertisement is meant to bring confidence to the USSR, and to cut down the United States. Only encouraging information is brought to the Russians through this message.


 * GLITTERING GENERALITIES:**

This poster represents Glittering Generalities because it is using a word that has a positive meaning for America. Hope has a great effect in ones life so they are likely to agree with it. Glittering Generalities is many times associated with politics so it is not ironic that it is/was used by the Obama administration. The word hope demands approval without thinking plainly because it is so important in todays society. Strong, stand-out and very positive words are used in the Glittering Generalities technique of propaganda.
