Prejudicial language persuades through the use of loaded words that convey a bias while pretending to convey objective information. The straw man is an argument that misrepresents, oversimplifies, or caricatures an opponents positions. Appeal to bangwagon is another srgument by attacking opponent rather than addressing the argument itself. Appeals to fear and pity seek to persuade through affencing emotions. Misleading euphemisms are words that hide meaning by wrapping a less acceptable idea in positive or neutral connotations
