What’s In
In the previous lesson, you have learned about Distinguishing Text-Type According to
Purpose and Language Features (Comparison and Contrast).
Comparison shows the similarities and contrast tells differences among subjects like
people, objects, places, animals, situations, or ideas. A compare-and-contrast text or
paragraph analyzes two subjects by comparing them, contrasting them, or both.
Directions: To measure your knowledge of the past lesson, Read the text below and write
down the clue/signal words that you found while reading. Indicate whether each
word signals comparison or contrast. Write your answer on your notebook.
Poppa’s pizza is better than Light Street’s pizza. Poppa’s makes thin crust pizzas, while
the Light Street crust is thick and chewy. Poppa’s sauce is spicy with oregano, basil, and
pepper. Light Street offers a much sweeter sauce, with barely a hint of Italian spices. Finally,
Poppa’s is very generous with the cheese, and they use a three-cheese blend. In contrast,
Light Street uses only mozzarella, and not very much of it. I would prefer to eat at Poppa’s any
day! (https://bit.ly/3obtUBL)

Propaganda makes use of a collection of devices and tricks intended to influence
your thinking. Learning to recognize these techniques can go a long way toward your smart
choice of products and services, based on your actual experiences, and not just because of
the effects of propaganda.
What Is It
How can you tell whether an advertisement is giving fair information to people?
When the information given is not fair, then there is bias. When a commercial, a
testimony or a speech is favoring or siding with somebody, something, a company, a group,
or a political or religious affiliation, then there is bias.
In media (newspaper, television, radio, Facebook, YouTube, twitter, etc.), there are
glaring biases which we must know. It is important that we can detect biases, right away, so
please read and understand the types of biases enumerated and described below.
TYPES OF BIASES
1. Bias by headline
Many people read only the headlines of a news item. Most people scan nearly
the headlines in a newspaper. Headlines are the most-read part of a paper. They can
summarize as well as present carefully hidden bias and prejudices. They can convey
excitement where little exists. They can express approval or condemnation.
4
6. Bias by word choice and tone
Showing the same kind of bias that appears in headlines, the use of positive or
negative words or words with a particular connotation can strongly influence the reader
or viewer.
EXERCISE 1
Directions: Identify the kind of bias shown in every propaganda below.
Propaganda 1
“Three out of every 5 fatal automobile accidents did not involve drinking.
67% of the drivers involved in fatal accidents had not been drinking. And 76%
of the pedestrians involved in accidents had not been drinking. Therefore,
sobriety is undoubtedly the major cause of fatal automobile accidents, and
sober driving must be outlawed immediately, and punished harshly.”
Propaganda 2
Analysis
Propaganda 1 is a Bias through statistics and crowd counts. The focus of the data used
to present a figure of automobile accidents is not on the fatalities; instead, it is on the ones
who were saved from deaths. Analyze the details below:
Propaganda 2 is a Bias by headline. The name Dirty Harry is attached to the name
Lim. In the Manila mayoralty race, the family name Lim is supposed to be enough because
Alfredo Lim is already known as previous mayor – people know him already, so there is no
need to call him Dirty Harry because it has a negative connotation, very much unfair on the
part of Alfredo Lim, being a political candidate and being a person.
After studying the biases, you are now ready to study the different propaganda
techniques and examples of propaganda. All of these have the tendency to use biases in order
to change people’s minds.
5
PROPAGANDA DEVICES
1. The Bandwagon Propaganda is all about persuading the target audience to take
action. It is creating an urge along people to become a part of the “in crowd”.
2. The Card Stacking Propaganda focuses on the best features and leaves out or lies
about the problems.
3. The Plain Folks Propaganda uses regular people to sell a product or a service.
4. The Testimonial Propaganda contains a well –known person endorsing the product
or service.
5. The Glittering Generalities Propaganda uses words or ideas that evoke an
emotional response.
6. The Name Calling Propaganda connects a person, product, or idea to something
negative.
Remember: Bias will happen when someone takes a side in favor or promote
something although it is harmful to health.

What I Have Learned
➢ A fact is something that can be proven true. The information is objective and is based
on data and observation. It can be verified to be true by using research, records, and
apparatuses.
➢ An opinion is subjective and cannot be verified. It varies from one person to another.
An opinion may be based on facts but it is subjective because it is based on feelings
and personal judgment.
