Verbal example: In a campaign speech to a logging company, the Congressman referred to his environmentally conscious opponent as a "tree hugger."
Explanation of visual: The picture is name calling because the poster is calling the politician a hypocrite meaning that he doesn't do what he says he will do.  It's attaching a negative image to the person by using a word that will make him look bad.]]> 2016-10-12 19:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_eshelman/a3z5lbtco24s/wish/130260816 Post Hoc 3094655 https://padlet.com/nicole_eshelman/a3z5lbtco24s/wish/130731068 By: Ian Thornbrugh, Tyler Burkhardt

Hasty Generalization: Making a conclusion based on bias or that is not logically justified by evidence.

Verbal Example: Trump states that all mexican immigrants bring drugs, crime, and are rapists. He has an extremely negative stance against mexican immigrants and believes they are all bad people.

Explanation of visual: This picture is hasty generalization because the small areas of the elephant are seen in isolation and then labeled as something they're not. The ear of the elephant looks like a palm leaf, so it is labeled as it. There is no evidence that it is a palm leaf, it is just hastily pointed out to be a palm leaf.

Allegory-

Definition- An Allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

Example-

“A man inherited a field in which was an accumulation of old stone, part of an older hall. Of the old stone some had already been used in building the house in which he actually lived, not far from the old house of his fathers. Of the rest he took some and built a tower. But his friends coming perceived at once (without troubling to climb the steps) that these stones had formerly belonged to a more ancient building. So they pushed the tower over, with no little labour, and in order to look for hidden carvings and inscriptions, or to discover whence the man's distant forefathers had obtained their building material. Some suspecting a deposit of coal under the soil began to dig for it, and forgot even the stones. They all said: 'This tower is most interesting.' But they also said (after pushing it over): 'What a muddle it is in!' And even the man's own descendants, who might have been expected to consider what he had been about, were heard to murmur: 'He is such an odd fellow! Imagine using these old stones just to build a nonsensical tower! Why did not he restore the old house? he had no sense of proportion.' But from the top of that tower the man had been able to look out upon the sea.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, Beowulf and the Critics
Propaganda--

Example- 

The USA put out posters saying, "Buy war bonds, and we can win"
Propaganda Visual Example and Explanation- This picture shows a propaganda image during WWII saying we will do this. That wasn't a for sure fact, but it was used to keep moral up
