1984 Propaganda

The first piece of propaganda that we used in the video was ad hominem. This was shown early in the video when Nishant attacked our competitors by calling them “ugly” and “horrendous”. Ad hominem propaganda was used many times by Big Brother and the thought police in the 1984 book by George Orwell.

In 1984, Big Brother used their reputation and influence to manipulate their people and make them believe something that isn’t
