When you focus on illogically extreme examples of your opponent's position, which propaganda technique are you using:
A. Bandwagon
B. Plain Folks
C. Stereotyping
D. Strawman
D. Strawman
The propaganda technique that involves focusing on illogically extreme examples of your opponent's position is called "Strawman." To understand why, let's break it down:
A. Bandwagon: This technique appeals to the idea that everyone is doing something and suggests you should too. It does not involve distorting or misrepresenting an opponent's position.
B. Plain Folks: This technique portrays the speaker or their cause as just ordinary people who can relate to others. It also does not involve distorting or misrepresenting an opponent's position.
C. Stereotyping: This technique involves generalizing or categorizing individuals or groups based on preconceived notions or biases. Though it can be used to discredit opponents, it does not necessarily involve creating illogical extremes.
D. Strawman: This technique involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument by distorting or exaggerating it into an easily refutable position that they do not actually hold. By focusing on these extreme and unrealistic examples, it becomes easier to discredit the opponent's position. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Strawman.
It is important to be aware of these propaganda techniques to recognize when they are being used and to ensure constructive and fair discussions.
