Bandwagon VS Name Calling
Bandwagon
Bandwagon has three purposes:
- One purpose is to get everyone to do the same thing as one person.
- The second purpose is to not make anyone feel left out.
- The statement they use for this is for everyone to "jump on the bandwagon".
Fun fact: Bandwagon is one of the most common techniques used in wartime and peacetime.
Some examples are:
- Bandwagon is used in gaming. For example it is used Worlf of Warcraft.
- They are shown on food and drinks: McDonalds billboards saying how many burgers they have sold. 11 billion sold...all right I'll have one!
- There also used in music. The 1959 album title 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong: Elvis' Golden Record.
Twitter and Facebook are examples of the "The enemy might be listening."
