These three terms are examples of persuasive techniques or fallacies, often used in arguments to convince someone of a certain point of view.
- Slippery slope argument is when an idea is rejected because of an unsupported belief that other undesirable events could follow. For example, "If we allow people to carry guns in public, it will lead to an increase in violence and chaos on the streets."
- Bandwagon is appealing to people's desire to be part of the crowd or to fit in. For example, "Everyone is doing it, so you should too."
- Loaded language is the use of words with a strongly positive or negative connotation to influence the reader's or listener's emotions. For example, "They are not undocumented immigrants, they are illegal aliens."
