  10. Is this Propaganda? Censorship?

  11. Political Jargon and Empty Words – Censoring Thought? Orwell writes about words whose meanings have become empty and easily manipulated. He sees this as a form of censorshipthat can even lead to self-censorship.

  12. Sloganeering • Employing or inventing slogans– especially in a political context • Reducing complex ideas to a small phrase whose meaning is tough to pin down and difficult to refute.

  13. Can you identify these Slogans? • Support Our Troops • These Colors Don’t Run • Yes We Can • They Hate Our Freedom • Work Makes You Free • You Are Either With Us, Or You Are With the Terrorists

  14. Information Overload The condition of receiving so much information that it becomes impossible to notice or understand the larger issues at stake in any situation, or to find anyone else who understands enough about an issue to share your understanding of it.

  15. From fahrenheit 451, by ray bradbury • “Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.”
