Argument to the people (Appeal to stirring symbols) is a fallacy in which people, often politicians, use symbols that appeal to certain view points or beliefs of the viewers or readers.

This video shows families and everyday people in front of common places with signs saying, “CLOSED” on them. The signs are presented in front of these buildings to show that many local places that people use everyday will be shut down due to budget cuts made by Meg Whitman. The video appeals to everyone because it shows schools, zoos, libraries, hospitals, and many more places people visit everyday. Parents wouldn’t want their kids not going to school. People would want to be able to go to the library or the zoo. The Courage Campaign is helping people to be against ‘Meg’s California’ by appealing to their values as everyday citizens.

This video shows the American way of life in the late ‘60s and how people were allowed to have a choice between various things including the recent addition of a mint flavor to the Crest toothpaste brand. At the end of the commercial it says, “Now you have a decision to make. It’s the American way.” This appeals to Americans of this time period because they were just starting to be able to have more freedom with their way of life. During the commercial it shows many types of patriotic symbols including the different political parties, the Statue of Liberty, and Uncle Sam. These symbols allow the viewer to connect and be drawn into the commercial because they relate to the examples shown.
